Happy... Tuesday?

So, today has been a totally fabulous day! Strange to think that such an occurrence could take place on such a mediocre day, but, Alas! Here I am, celebrating what should be known as the most hum-drum day to man.
Why exactly do I find Tuesdays so unexciting?
  • Tuesday is not Monday (the beginning of a long week) or Wednesday (the middle of the long week), so it is very difficult to complain about Tuesday. It's just that random day sandwiched between the two most complained-about days of the work week. It's really an awkward day.
  • In Greek culture, Tuesday is known as an unlucky day. This is because Constantinople fell on a Tuesday and everyone is still very bitter about the whole ordeal. Seriously, Greeks? It was over 800 years ago, GET OVER IT!
  • How many people celebrate Tuesday for no reason? All sorts of people hold special events on Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Wednesday (church night!!), Thursday (NBC Comedy Night), and even Monday (let'sdrinkuntilweforgetaboutthefirstdayback-night!). What happens on Tuesdays? Civilizations get wiped off the map, stock markets crash, Microsoft updates it's software, and on the rare occasion: government elections. It's like we have to create a reason for Tuesday to even exist.
  • Studio Class. Enough said.
  • Tuesday is originally named after the planet Mars. May I point out here that Mars is second only to Mercury as the smallest planet in our solar system (sorry Pluto), and Mercury was already being used as the name for element 80, the dude naming the days had to settle for the second best (and second smallest), Mars. Super impressive, right?? Not.
  • Tuesday is nowhere near the end of the week, so there's not much to look forward to.
  • Vocal Music Hour. See: Studio Class.
But.... Today was probably the best Tuesday in recorded history. Everything today went my way (Oh what a beautiful moooornin', oh what a beautiful daaaaaaaay, I got a beautiful feeeeeelin...)

First, I had to wake up super-duper-extra early to register for classes. Which in all reality should have been terrible, but I got into the French class that I wanted and am going to have an awesome teacher next year!! After registering I went to the SLC and had a wonderful workout. You know it's going to be a great day when you have an awesome workout under your belt before the sun has even risen.

Breakfast: delicious breakfast burrito with egg and potatoes and salsa and pico. YUMMERS! And, to my absolute delight, Penland had hazelnut coffee for the first time in weeks! Whoooopie! So, I was worked out, well fed, and caffeinated!

The rest of my school day went rather well, and we even got out of choir early, so I actually got to enjoy a delicious lunch with my ladies before Musicianship. Studio Class didn't seem to last very long today, and everyone sang so well! Afterward, I realized that I didn't have any homework and I took my time eating with some of my favorite folks. Did I mention that Memo had fresh cookies AND strawberry cheesecake ice cream????? ForTheWiiiiiiinn!

And now I am in my jammies, writing this blog about my epic Tuesday, texting the b-fran and enjoying the quiet. God always provides peace when I need it most!

Keep that class coming out the.... Face. Out of your FACE.

P.S. I'll talk about my divine revelations as pertain to singing soon. I've been super-dried out of late and haven't had much success in the practice room. Darn you Waco allergies!
