Some things of yayful-ness (as opposed to grrful-nes) :D

Yay--I think I've finally figured out my schedule for next semester! The only thing I don't really like about it is that I'll have 4 classes MWF, and basically nothing on TTh (I'll have Career Planning on Tues for the first 7weeks, and O.Chem lab on Thurs)--the evil thing is that nothing's offered (that I need to take) on TTh *grrs schedule* My group "presentation" went well in US History this morning and when Jess and I went to to talk to Dr. Tom about our Genetics presentation he answered all our questions--so now we can fix the stuff that was wrong . . . we're having another group meeting at 7 tonight--hopefully we'll be out of the computer lab before 9 *crosses fingers*

Ooh! I've made more icons!
Because I absolutely *love* this painting (and the poem, of course) . . .

These three I posted on phantom_icons:

The first one (base by penelopeblack features text from Loreena McKennitt (sp?)'s lovely song "Danté's Prayer" and the picture is Sarah Brightman in the "Wishing" scene of PotO; the second one (base by eponwyn has text from Don McLean's (or Josh's) "Vincent" and the picture is from the trailer of ALW's PotO movie coming out in January ('twas supposed to be Christmas Eve, but I'll stop my rant); the third one has text from Susan Kay's Phantom (such a good book!!) and the picture is from the ALW musical, but I don't know who the actors are . . .

And before I go, I must share some awesome-ness: I'm going to go see WICKED!!!! *bounces ecstatically* There's a tour bus company (Benedict's)based near my town that regularly goes on various trips to Las Vegas and New York and such, and they often take trips to Broadway--which is how my mom and I saw Riverdance: The Show a few years ago . . . sometimes they have "free days" where they drop you off in NYC in the morning and pick you up at night and you can do basically whatever you want (like going to see a show or going shopping)--they also have ones where they go to see a specific show and you get really good seats, which is what this one is. When she came to pick me up for fall break, my mom started to tell me about the latest Benedict's schedule and she only had to say "There's a trip to NYC to the Gershwin Theatre" [which incidentally is where we saw Riverdance] before I started flipping out (in the restaurant!) and saying "Benedict's is going to see WICKED?!?!?!" Needless to say, I was glad (understatement) to know that she'd been able to get two tickets . . . I wanted to get a couple for my friends, but the schedule had come a few weeks prior and were probably sold out by then . . . Sadly, Idina is leaving the Broadway cast in January, so I won't get to see her since the trip is in April, but either way, I get to see WICKED!!!! (and we're still going to see PotO, but we're going to move that to next year or the year after)

Lily gets to see Wicked!! Yay!!!! *happy dance*is a little jealous* I can't believe Idina is leaving. :( I can't imagine the show without her. Do you know who is taking over for her?

I want that shirt too! I hinted and I think my parents are going to get it for me for my birthday! :)

I'm so excited! I'm going to buy a bunch of stuff, too--I saw a shirt on the website I want to get--it's a baseball-style shirt (cap or long sleeves) that has "Defy Gravity" on the front in black, except for the "e" which is green (for Elphaba!), and then it has the WICKED logo on the back :) I don't know who's taking over for Idina . . . I wish I would have been able to see her, though--she rocks!
