Wicked

Image
My brothers girlfriend bought tickets for the 2 of us to see Wicked (the musical) in San Francisco, for my bithday. It was so much fun. The show was amazing. I want to go again. The set was beautiful, the songs were great. the actors were talented. Glinda was hillarious, and the woman playing Elphaba was an amazing singer. The chorus was great. The whole show was just awesome. Our seats were great (7th row)We had a good dinner with Clam chowder and seafood alfredo at the Market Street Grill accross the street from the Orphium. We got lost on our way back to my house but it was funny instead of frustrating. We stopped at 7-11 and both admitted to having the urge to tell the random customers in the store that we had just seen Wicked. It was a great experience. and I hope to see the play again before it leaves SF. Sanity levels are all over the place this week. I have been sick and exhausted, and excited and happy, anxious because the dentist had to come in our class and examine u...

New Course, New frustrations

I have moved on to my second course in school and it is so technical. I need to study so much harder and pay much closer attention. We have to bring in our own patients and everyone is having trouble with that task. Our first clinic day was nuts. I had fun working in the sterile area for most of the day. My mom, Steve and Kayla were all seen so they can be patients for the rest of my time in school. I am frustrated with myself right now because of school. I have still been doing well, but not as good as beofre. I need to get my butt in gear if I am going to meet my goal of 4.0 every course. I already lost my first goal of getting 100% on all of the spelling tests for the course. and I won't get perfect attendance either because of a major accident on 580 before tracy that made me miss half of a day. So no star pins for my name badge this course either. One good thing about school right now is that I am making friends. I feel comfortable with everyone in class and even feel like I ...

Tempted

I finished reading Tempted by Kristen and P.C. Cast. It is the latest installment from the House of Night Series. The series is geared towards young adults, which I like to read because they are easy and fast. Or as I like to call them Quick and Dirty! It was a good read and took some interesting turns in the story line. The complaint I have is that I have been waiting months to get my hands on this book and it seemed so short. There is obviously a new book in the works, but I wanted more. After that long wait I was a little disappointed that the book only covered a few days. Besides that it was what I expected. The writing isn't the best, but I knew that going in. If you like vampires (or vampyres - as they are called in this book) and easy reading - young adult books, then I recommend you pick up Marked which is the first book in the series.
