longing for lawn darts

this is a wonderful compilation.

oh i wonder

so p and i officially love stained grass bluegrass. i think. we've listened to it almost every sunday for maybe two or three months. at first, we sort of made fun of it. not that it was bad, but it was just so easy to mock; twangy accents, people using the word "ain't", and no one taking themselves seriously. well, now when we get up on sunday morning, we turn it on and just listen. i've always loved the sound of a banjo, but never thought i'd develop such an appreciation for the fiddle. i still don't know the first thing about bluegrass, but i have decided i like it.

hooray for late-onset virginia roots.

finals are almost over

uugghh. finals are almost over, and I am so beyond tired. i have to say, though, that today's final was the best one in my scholastic history. here's how it went:
teacher comes in.
teacher says, "shannon, you're here!"
i said, "yes, don't i have to be here?"
teacher says, "no. you don't have to take the final, and you will get an "a" in the class."
i gathered my stuff and sped home, singing.
turns out that she decided to drop the lowest exam for each student. i already had aced the first three, so i was in the clear and didn't know it. hooray for accounting 1.
now, it's time to begin thinking about planning to dread christmas shopping. 'tis the season.
