Merry Christmas everyone! This is my first blog post from my new laptop. Christmas has been great so far, but there is still a ways to go. I posted a vlog this morning, so if you want more details about my day that started at 6:00 this morning with me waking everyone up, check my youtube channel. See you all in a few days!
Love,
Elizabeth W.

Christmas This Year - Tobymac
Shake It Up - Train
The Baby - Family Force 5
My Favorite Things - Family Force 5
The Christmas Can Can - Straight No Chaser
Who Spiked The Eggnog - Straight No Chaser
Joy To The World - Nick Jonas
Donde Esta Santa - Straight No Chaser
I Want A Hippopotamus For Christmas - Gayla Peevey

I hope you like the playlist. I will add more songs tonight. Feel free to comment and tell me what Christmas songs you think should be on there.
By the way, The Baby by FF5 is my favorite Christmas song ever, and now its stuck in my head...
Gifts (for the Baby)
Presents (for the Baby)
I'll make it rain (all night on the Baby)
I got some Silver & Gold
Let the legend be told
Don't you know that I'm all about the Baby?
Love,
Elizabeth W.

It Always Happens...
375... I am metaphorically applauding you all right now. Good job, you only have 125 more to go before Friday.
So, today I recieved my first Christmas present of the year. My friend, Emily, gave it to me this morning as soon as I got to school. I really wasn't expecting it. It was a Christmas-y Sock Monkey (Another one for the collection!), some watercolor colored pencils and some dark chocolate hersheys kisses.
The only thing I worry about around this time is when people get me presents when I don't get them anything. I have to go home today and make three gifts. I have one person that got me something that I didn't plan for, and two people who might get me something, but I'm not sure about. I would like to give them gifts either way. One person is the person who I'm doing secret santa for in spanish class. I think I will just make her something small to go along with that. Technically, we are supposed to have a $20 limit on the secret santa gift, but I think I went a few dollars over. No biggie. Hopefully I have time to make some duct tape wallets before Friday.
Today, when I go home, I have to immediately get started on my Spanish project. Its due tommorrow, and I didn't get to work on it at all yesterday. I have to film four or five 30 second segments, then upload all of the video parts to the computer. After that, I have to try and convince my mom to buy a $15 upgrade/mod to Windows Movie Maker, so that I will have access to some editing effects that are actually useful. I have to edit and transfer the video to a DVD before the end of the day. Tommorow, the project is due. I am very nevous about how it will turn out, seeing as it was such short notice. I may end up staying up until like 10 or 11 tonight.
That means that my gift making for those three people will get pushed off to Thursday night, unless I can speed through the making of the video. But, I have to go to my brother's band concert Thursday night. Maybe I'll have some time between coming home from school and having to go back and see the concert. The concert should be over at around 8 or 9. We will probably go out to eat, so we will get home around 9 or 10. But, his concert won't start until 6 or 7. That means I have from 4:30 to 6 to work on gifts. I know I will make one for sure. I might need to plan out the colors and designs so that I know already what I will do.
On Saturday, I have to go to a family Christmas gathering at a relative's house. I'm not really looking foreward to it. Not only will almost all of the family from my dad's side be there, but also some random people that half of us don't know. I'll just bring my ukulele and my phone to entertain myself, and be ready to talk about what type of job I want to have and what college I plan to go to. Relatives always ask about that stuff. I'll prepare myself to recieve about a thousand random shallow complements and hug random strangers. Ugh. Family gatherings.
I gave a Christmas lesson in FCA today. I basically took the Christmas story and went more into detail, examining what it must have really been like, not just what happened. I mean, I think Mary must have been really afraid when the angel first appeared to her. And when she told Joseph, he must have been really suspicious and almost ashamed. The shepherds must have felt really special to have such a chior of angels gathering above them, singing praises to God. And the Wise men were probably a little confused when they came to the manger and saw the little toddler that was said to be their savior and king. I think its cool too that they brought the three gifts that they did. Gold said he was worthy. Frankincense said that they would worship him. Myrrh said that he would die but come back, saving us all. The way that God put all of the story together is just amazing.

I WANT IT!!!
Right now, there are several things that I really want. For lack of anything else to do, I shall list them now.
I want to do really well on my final exam because I have to make an 85 (i think) in the class to get high school credit. I think its stupid that you could get college credit and not high school credit, but whatever. I have made hundreds on all of the daily assignments and a 97 on the project. I made the grades of 81, 84, 74, and 76 on the other four tests in the class. I have reviewed some and I will be able to have the book right there with me. I'm just scared. This is the closest I've ever come to not getting an A in a class for a final grade. There is some kind of ten or twenty point grade curve in the transition to the school's gradebook, so maybe I can still do fantastic.
I plan to make Christmas presents for all of my friends, I just have to get around to doing it. I have to make them and have them ready before the end of next week. I better get on that.
I want so badly to post more Uke covers and music videos on YouTube, but I can't seem to find the time. I do know that my Zombie music video will come out at the end of this month or the beginning of January. I plan to edit over Christmas break.
My spanish class did a secret santa thing. I just want to know who got my name. I have to wait til the end of school to find out though. I have no patience.
I really love doctor who. I got to watch The Christmas Invasion last night, the first episode of season two with David Tennant. I still love the 9th doctor though.
I want red hair like Meekakitty and Ariana Grande, but I still have to take senior pictures and prom pictures. Therefore, I must wait until summer to dye my hair. I want to do the 40 day stuff so I can still donate my hair again.
Love you all!
