Amanda, are you okay? Missed you last night at fellowship. I hope you're not too seriously sick. Heheh, we started a new series of lessons... this time, it's on church history. Didn't see that one coming. I really tried to listen initially, but I must say the 30 min video wasn't the most entertaining. It's not even laughable like the previous ones. People started spacing out like 5 minutes in. Please come back soon; I miss your side commentaries haha.
And are you really learning to play the alto sax or was I misinformed? Please give me a brief lesson after you get down the basics! I really just want someone to tell me if I'm blowing it right and if the sounds coming out are normal-sounding or not. And perhaps a simple fingering sheet.
Yay, I have more pictures to show later. Hehee, hopefully you guys will like them :D

New Photos and Agreements
Amanda
I agree with you - I'll do my part and post more often. Perhaps Kathy has been having so much fun at school that she's forgotten us! Anyway, I thought I'd show you a little bit of book love.
First, the school books.
Can you believe that this stack is NOT the whole story? I bravely carried my Tonal Harmony textbook to school today. It is now tucked away in my locker. Those two history books are for one class. I have to carry the thicker one to school every Tuesday and Thursday. Awful.
Now, some knitting books. You might see something familiar.
It's so easy to read about and research something you love. Don't get me wrong, I love music but right now it's more school than passion right now.
Next time: a little more Music and a whole lot of SF Giants/Baseball.

A New Year's Resolution?
I'm determined to keep this alive, so I hereby make it a resolution to post AT LEAST once a month (uh, unless something serious happens to me). Please don't leave me alone on this resolution? lol. I do like what you did to the layout Amanda.. but I can't believe you risked your life for that picture. I guess there's a high value for that picture because of that haha. Nice job.
Your previous post sounds like the start of a busy semester.. 17 units sound like a lot already. Speaking of piano lessons, think you know of anyone possibly willing to give me alto sax lessons for cheap maybe over the summer? Like maybe $10-15/hr or is that too cheap? :D I'm also hoping to go on a missions trip this summer, preferably to China for a month or so and ideally with a medical side to it, but it may be tricky enough already just finding one. Maybe you guys can pray for me and keep your ears open? I'm also trying to see if I can get connected with something through UOP's Christian Fellowship group. Hopefully something comes up for me.
By the way, all I did at the meeting was eat for $5. All I got out of it was a cheap meal; can somebody please tell me why we're on the roll sheet for those meetings?
Sooooo.. I finally got around to this - a picture of part of my dorm room. I couldn't take a good picture of the whole side of my room showing much details, so here's the part of my side that I spend almost ALL of my time when I'm not in class, out, or sleeping: my desk area.
Special note to Amanda: see a familiar fuzzy, princessy, white, star-shaped decorative item in my picture? :) Yea, it's been up in my room all this time like I promised! I'll update on my semester thus far hopefully soon.

Dude, we suck at this.
Amanda
I wish we could actually keep this up. Unfortunately, check the title. I mostly wanted to post so that I'd be able to say I did. Ja ja ja ja! School was bearable this week, mostly because I only had to go in Thursday and Friday. I'm actually only taking on 17 units this semester because the textiles class I wanted to take was at a really inconvenient time and I couldn't get into a music class that was the alternative.
After checking in with all my teachers this week, I'm glad I took it down 3 units. There's no way I would have had enough time to do well in all these classes. My English class will prove to be especially challenging. I have an essay due Monday. ALREADY! Anyway, I'm still going to be swamped because I need to bring my theory grade up (I got a B- in the fall) and I should really be practicing more. Also, I'm going to try and take private piano lessons so I can pass out of it at school.
Well, that's all for now. I'll add some pictures in a bit.

No pictures :(
Daja
Looking at the pictures you guys posted makes me want to post some too, but I don't think you guys would be as impressed with my pictures of molecules or bacteria... hahahah. I have some pictures of my school and dorm - not super exciting, but maybe I will post them when finals are over.
Yea.. some crazy hectic couple of weeks coming up.. I'm sure for you guys too with finals & everything. We'll get through it guys! :D And then any major plans for Winter Break? Let's pick a day and hang out, just the 3 of us. Maybe in January to avoid the busy holiday events? Any ideas? :)

That's so cool!
Amanda
So the prodigal Faja returns. That's some cool stuff you got going on there. You've inspired me to post pictures of what I've been up to. However, the blog is not cooperating. I'll post pictures soon.
Oh, Holly, I'll send you a text version of our worksheet over the course of this week I guess. I didn't go to church today because I really needed the rest. Hope it went well. How was Christmasing rehearsal?
Peek-A-Boo!
I finally figured out how to post stuff.
Okay, so this is what I've been doing in my ceramic class:
Red Clay!!! First time I've sculpted with this.
Welcome to TB9!
And this is my corner...
And this is what I've been working on...
My Tree!
The End...
