Apr. 16th, 2006 10:37 pmHad a fun time at home for Easter. Though my family made fun of my sleeping habits. :p I'm not sure why I slept so late... guess I'm still feeling some effects of being sick. :p
I read The Li'l Endless Storybook to my sister with voices. Yes, she's 18. I read it anyway, because I like reading out loud. :p It was amusing though: Every time I read Delirium referring to Barnabas as "Puppy", Topaz looked up because she thought I was talking about her. :p
Speaking of Topaz, she was WONDEFULLY behaved the entire time I was home. And you know... she's actually pretty cute. :p
Most of my time home was spent either studying or at church. Didn't make it home in time for Holy Thursday mass, but I wasn't expecting to. I'm not sure I've EVER made it to that mass, when I think about it. I did make it to Good Friday in good health so I didn't feel wobbly at any point during the Passion. One of the poor candidates took ill during the dismissal. They had to take her to the hospital, and then her entire family caught it. Now she's getting baptized NEXT week.
The Easter Vigil was pretty spiffy, even though it rained, thus less standing by the bonfire. Father Jeff has a flair for the long and dramatic, so we had EVERY reading. The Easter Vigil readings are basically the Old Testament in a nutshell, so this amounted to about an hour of reading in the dark. Fortunately, they simulated dawn by bringing the lights up GRADUALLY. Silly Father Jeff decided to call everyone to the font for the baptism... even though we probably could have seen better from our seats. ANd then he forgot to tell us to bring our candles with us.
One of my favorite things about the Easter season is the super cool Gloria. It's got a really neat rhythm to it. And then it drops down on "LOrd God, lamb of God"... which SOUNDS really cool, AND goes back down into my range when it was starting to push it.
Alas, my singing voice was not entirely back. I got through the Good Friday music, because it's mostly low, but the cough kept catching up to me on the high notes at the vigil.
Other than that, I basically just studied ORganic, because the final DOOM is tomorrow. The most frustrating thing is that the LAST lecture ended by leaving off a synthesis unfinished. So I'll be studying along and hit the material about enandiandric acids, and it'll just STOP. It's so ANNOYING, I just keep sitting there going "But how did they FINISH it?"
Okay, so I'm a chem geek. :p
EDIT: Oh, and guess what? That's right... Goblins hasn't updated!
