week 6...man! school and upcoming concert trip

Ok!!! i was really stressing yesterday about my writing class and how i felt i wasnt keeping up; I managed to put an extra hour into last night and this morning while on my break and lunch at work. I got my paper typed out-Barbie Effect-Cosmetic Surgery; i went over and over it til i was seeing doddle; so many things i had to put in it (citations, paraphrasing, making it was plagiarize). That right there is nerve wrecking..lol; Im a little calmer today about my feeling toward this class so i think i will be alright.

Today also i managed to reserve a hotel for me and my friends to attend the Macy's Jazz fest July 30-31. This is a big concert event at the Paul Brown stadium in Cincinnati. We are only going to the Friday night show. Teena Marie, Jaheim, Cameo, melanie Fiona, and Charlie Wilson are performing. Tickets are $75 (mid chair section) each night. Whats more exciting is that its actually more activity going on outside the stadium than there is in. All kinds of vendors, activities, and performance by local artist. I am a people person so i am loving this. I went two years ago with my sister who decided to go at the last minute. We were suppose to leave at two as its a 2.5 hour drive. We left at 5 oclock instead (her doing)and the concert started at 7:30-i was heated. I took my son and she took her daughter (both 13 then). i took my son so he can visit his sister (my daughter lives in Cincinnati) and thinking my sister was gonna leave my neice there as well. Oh no!!!! My sister drug my neice along to the concert. My sister made a wrong turn on the expressay taking us out the way of the concert of an hour. When she finally realized we were going the wrong way after i told her several times before 'this isnt the way" we finally made it downtown Cincinnati at 8:55 pm and we still had to find parking. yes i missed two performances on a $75 ticket!!!! I think my neice was the only 13 year old and she hated it...lol!!! Anyway this time as i stated im going with my friends minus my sister. If she wants to go then she will have to do it solo. ttyl!!!
