Christmas Music

So...I have something to admit. I have been listening to Christmas music since before Halloween. It started with my lovely roommate who for a week or so had an obsession with a Christmas CD--it was all she listened to. So, I gradually started listening to Christmas music. Normally, this is not the case. Up until this year, I have been a staunch "Christmas music shouldn't be played before Thanksgiving" kind of girl. But I rather like this new obsession with Christmas music. It means that every day as I am studying for a test or wasting time on Facebook, I am also listening to music that is all about the birth of Christ. I have started realizing that this is not such a bad thing--I am taking more time to think about my Savior and the impact that He has had on my life, about my goals and where they are taking me, and about just how loved I really am. So, even once Christmas is long past and a new year has started, I think that every once in a while I am going to turn off the Rascal Flatts or Michael Buble, and take some time to listen to something spiritual and ponder.

Me and my sexy man voice

Yup...it is that time of year again! For some reason, every winter I get sick at least once. Not just a cold mind you, but a cold with an insane cough, or whooping cough (yup, that made my entire junior year one big adventure let me tell you!), or this year, I have been lucky enough to get bronchitis. However, along with the coughing, the sleepiness and the general feeling of icky-ness, I am almost always lucky enough to get what I like to call my "sexy man voice." My roommate says I sound more like a goose, but I'm sticking with "sexy man voice." See, my voice drops like, I don't know, three octaves, and then it squeaks every so often. Awesome, right? See, there's always a silver lining...even if it is just being able to say that I've got my sexy man voice back! And if none of this makes sense...don't blame me, blame the cough medicine.
