Broomball anyone?

Last night it decided to freezing rain in Caronport...and surrounding areas. This morning the ground = ice. I live in Saskatchewan, Canada and I have never seen the ground so entirely covered in ice.  I've seen skating rinks, large patches of ice, and even roads that were very very icy - but everything this morning had a smooth layer of ice over top of it. It was greatly amusing. We pretty much had to skate to class and back, and even the grass had ice crystals all over it. :) SO. I decided that I wanted to play broomball! On the sidewalks! If I actually had broomball stuff, or the time and people to get a game going, I absolutely would have. But it never happened. I did, however, have to explain to a girl from Kelowna what broomball even was. Hah. 

By afternoon the roads had cleared and I went with a friend into Moose Jaw to the clinic. She needed a bone scan done on her ankle that she injured in basketball.  So, we find the place, put our name down, and to kill time in the hour wait went for an early supper run to McDonalds. I had a craving. Mmm. Greasy, deep fried, fast food. 

For the remainder of the evening I did a little bit of procrastinating but managed to finish writing my rough draft of my first college research paper that is due on Thursday. So, everything except the intro and conclusion paragraphs are all typed out and ready to be edited. it feels good. However, it is only supposed to be like 5 pages...and I have 9. So tomorrow, on the glorious and randomly in the middle of the week holiday of NO CLASSES (which for me just consists of one...because it's Tuesday) I have some editing and condensing to do. No biggie. At least all my info is typed and put together. Yay! 

Tomorrow at midnight I also get to register for my semester 2 classes. I'm really hoping and praying that all I want to take is still available. And I decided just the other day that I would like to take Musicianship 1. It deals with advanced chording and triads and other advanced theory stuff. Oh, and ear training. Woot. However, I missed the boat on taking Intro. to musicianship this term, which is a pre-req for Mus. 1. So, in order to take it, I need to get above 75% on the theory placement exam that is offered at the beginning of every term.  Which ALSO means that over Christmas break, I have some major theory reviewing to do!! I still have my theory books, and I really want to do this class, and so that is my goal for next term. :) I'm also kind of thinking on taking guitar lessons, but those probably won't happen because they cost extra money, it would make me a bit too busy, and I can take lessons from anyone any time. 

So, yea, it's been a good past couple of days. This weekend was VERY FUN. There were tons of sports going on and I spent pretty much all of Friday and Sat. watching volleyball.  I even got to use an air horn! It was really awesome to finally get to see the girls play, and male volleyball is always entertaining to watch. Carlee's family was here for the weekend and Saturday night her sister stayed in the room with us. We watched Cars before going to bed; I ADORE that movie. Yesterday (Sunday) I just relaxed and lazed about, did a bit of homework, and then ended the night with a movie and junkfood fest. 

And I'm feeling very excited about next term, because even if Mus. 1 doesn't happen, I have a list of four other classes that I really, really want to take. I've come out of my grumpy mood that I was in toward the end of last week, this weekend I'm going on a day trip to Regina, and then the Thursday after that I'm going home for the weekend. Just because. (Those are the best reasons when it comes to going home.)
