I *Heart* Christmas

Yay family! Yay lotsa choir! Yay presents! Boo not posting for a long looooong time!

Christmas with the extended family was enjoyable, other stuff is lame right now...barge!

More later!

Choir is to the MAX Assortment

I spent nine hours of my Saturday caroling, performing, and just hanging out with the Expressions members. Not only did we get to wander around downtown Fairview until we were to cold to perform anymore, but we also got to wear beautiful Expressions concert attire (tuxes for the guys, "dresses" for the girls), laugh at our lameness when we would start singing off key, and, best of all, we got free stuff. That's right, free stuff. When we sang for a coffee shop in downtown Fairview they gave us all coupons for a free drink of our choice (we redeemed these right after we finished caroling) and then we got free appetizers at the restaurant we went to for dinner after we finished performing. Good times were had by all (minus a bit of bickering over where to eat).

These next few weeks are looking busy what with more choir performances, Winter Ball, and a Beaman final all coming in the next week. Thank goodness that next Friday begins a two week vacation. Yay!

Also, Jennie Ollivant has decided that I am the cutest person in the world. Don't ask me why, it apparently has something to do with my smile and my eyes...

Back By Popular Demand....A Post!

Ok, I'll post about what's been goin' on and everything tomorrow or later this weekend, but for right now....enjoy my amusing english project-type thingy.

Holiday Happenings

Choose the word or phrase you prefer to fill the blanks in this holiday letter.

That’s right people, it’s time again for yet another (A. exciting, B. nauseating) holiday letter (this time with fabulous personality assessment!)! Let’s (A. get started, B. begin the torture)!

This year began with the (A. tragic, B. celebrated) death of the dinosaur I called my computer. After a moment of silence for the (A. dearly departed, B. piece of junk), we brought in the replacement tower. Newer, faster, (A. but just not the same, B. and not eligible for the Smithsonian’s “primitive tools” exhibit), my new PC was ready for action! I’ve been using the new tower for about ten months now, and I’m very pleased.

After my brother graduated from high school in the spring, preparations began to ship him off to college. We spent most of August buying supplies and packing him up to leave. The weekend our family dropped Nathan off at Whitworth College in Spokane, Washington was really (A. depressing, B. liberating). I was (A. very sad to see him go, B. happy to get rid of the jerk). Nathan seems to be having fun at his school and is doing well in all of his classes (A. *beams* B. *makes gagging noises*). We’re so (A. proud, B. disdainful) of him!

This fall began my junior year at Reynolds High School, and I absolutely (A. love, B. despise) it! My favorite class is (A. Expressions, B. My I.P.), and my least favorite is definitely (A. my I.P. because I can’t be at school to learn!, B. Writing 121.) Despite a sometimes overwhelming homework load because of math and my two college-credit classes, I’ve still had time to (A. enjoy, B. suffer through) some extra activities. I’m involved in choir at my church and I’m also taking piano and voice lessons. My voice teacher says I (A. have a lot of potential, B. am the worst vocalist he’s heard in his entire career) and (A. thinks I’ll do very well in the upcoming solo/ensemble competition, B. wishes I would quit taking lessons so that he wont’ have to listen to me murder my music every week). I hope the rest of the year is (A. just as much fun as the beginning has been, B. not as horrible as these last few months have proved to be)!

May your holidays be as (A. wonderful, B. unbearable) as my year has been!

Love,

Lynsey Harrison

Mostly A’s: Wow...you’re either really boring or way too enthusiastic. Get help soon.

Mostly B’s: You obviously have a quite the satirical sense of humor or you just woke up on the wrong side of the bed. Take two aspirin and call me in the morning.

Equal A’s and B’s: So…are you bipolar or what?
