I know I'm a slacker

Hello World!

Its been a little bit since I did my last blog and I still haven't heard anything from MSU, not even my theory test results. Oh well, next week will come soon. Anyways this week was a pretty boring week. I did help out with talent show auditions though and all I can say is that 7th graders are something else. Friday one of them tried to set the choir director up and if he thought we made things awkward, he found out otherwise. I think our talent show is going to be pretty successful though. The best part is that the prizes are from sponsors. Last year, we probably would've received a small donation for a prize. I am so proud of my choir and what we've accomplished. Next week we get to show off and show people that small town choirs kick butt! I am so excited. :)

Also, I am almost 100% positive I am going to become a music teacher now. As I said earlier, I had to deal with 7th graders after school. Well I grade their worksheets from their music class and they were doing very bad on papers. I just happened to be finishing grading and they saw that I was grading their papers. I asked them if they wanted me to help them out so they would quit getting bad grades and they agreed. I explained all of the notes on the paper and how many beats each note or rest received and I am almost positive they understood. It was actually kind of cool. That moment made me realize that I wouldn't mind doing that for a living, even if the pay isn't really good. Hopefully I will get good news about the music program at MSU next week.
Now on to something non-music related. I finally turned in all of my scholarship applications and I feel good about a few, even though a few are almost guaranteed to a few kids that the whole class could guess who. Maybe I'll get lucky and get the alumni scholarship since I plan on coming back. I also finished all of my graduation invitations last night. Boy did that take forever. All I have to do now is wait for the party invites to be done and I can mail them out.

Time for the cute moment of the week. I got out of weight training once again on Thursday, the day of first grade music. Their lesson that day was about stories in songs. The song was the song about the old lady who swallowed a fly. They made me play the old lady when they acted out the motions. Anyway, one of the kids played the bird who ate the spider. They were told to pretend to bite the animal they had caught. He said we could really bite them and get more lunch. I couldn't help but to laugh. Then to top it off, after that he asked me if I was dark or white me, cause he preferred dark meat. I swear they get cuter each day. I miss my brothers being that little.

Thats about it for this post. Next Saturday is another choir contest, so we will be working our tails off. Then its time for me to really start practicing for state. Yay! I still get really excited when I even hear the word state.

A Day That Could Change my Life!

Hello World!

Today was one of the most important days of my life so far. It was my music audition to MSU. It started out kinda crappy but I think/hope it ended well. Heres a short recap of what happened.

Woke up at 7am cause mom called the lil bro. Went back to sleep on and off anyway til 7:45. Spent forever straightening my hair and got dressed. Left the house bout 8:30 an had to go back because I forgot my schedule. Mom had to drive really slow cause of the rain. Jumped out of the car in the middle of the road AGAIN!:) About 10:10 I had arrived. I was a little late but I didn't miss a thing. Sat in the recital hall for about an hour for the introduction where one of the head people in the music department talked about the music program and I watched a recital that was very awesome. About 11 all of the students went into the lecture room and had some q&a with some MSU music students. Mom had a meeting with the faculty in the recital hall. I stayed in the lecture hall for about an hour and a half for the q&a and the theory test. I'm pretty sure I bombed the test but I should know about Thursday. If you are wondering why we take the test, its basically a placement test like math and english. If I didn't pass, I can go to theory camp which sounds cool but its another $150. I NEED a job. After the test about noon, mom and I had a small lunch at the student union. The walk to the union sucked cause it was cold, I had no hoodie, and I was wearing my dress. I ran into a friend from music camp.It was pretty awesome cause we hadn't seen each other since June and at camp, you are friends with EVERYONE. She had a clarinet audition so we didn't see much of each other. Then we walked back to moms car and I grabbed a few things including my hoodie. About 1pm we found a practice room and I warmed up and pracrticed by myself. It was pretty weird because I always have someone to help me warm up and stuff. By 1:30 mom and I made it upstairs where the audtions were held. I was 5th on the list. I could have stalkers now thanks to that list. It had all of our names, addresses, phone numbers, and all of that stuff on it and everyone could see it. The wait till my turn was a long and nerve-wracking wait. At about 2:20 it was finally my turn. I walked into that recital hall, which is super awesome, and met my accompanist (also the dude I had a meeting with when I visited the campus for the first time). I showed him my songs, went over tempos, and then it was time. It kinda started off bad. I got my composers backwards and didn't realize it until I almost announce my last composer. So the judge who I think didn't like me from the beginning, gives me a glare and I apologize and say everything correctly the second time. My first song went pretty well other than a few breathing problems and I'm almost positive I went flat one time. Then came my second song. Two words: Piano Disaster. The accompanist had a very hard time playing that piece because it is very fast and plain difficult. He even knew it was going to be crazy cause he looked at it and said good golly. I sang, heard some crazy piano rhythms, and hit my crazy high note without any problems. I think I blew one of the judges away cause Iheard them whispering after I finished the song. The best part was the high note echoed throughout the room. Then came tonal memory, which I think I rocked. Lastly was the worst part. The big word everyone hates. Sightreading! I bombed it big time. The accompianist was like can you redo that, you had the notes right but the rhythm was a little wacky. I did bad again. I am not a fan of sightreading. At last the hard stuff was over. I got asked about my major, received a few smiles from the judges and a glare from the judge who probably hates me, and I got a CD of the Concert Chorale, the touring choir at MSU, from their tour in Austria. One day I hope to be in that choir. Hopefully then. they will go to Europe, mainly London. We left the hall at about 2:35 and walked in the rain, which was cold, and finally made it to the car. It was all done with.

Ok, that wasn't short but not many details could be left out because it would make no sense. I honestly don't know how it went. I am kinda thinking negativily, but I was still bummed from sightreading because it went so bad and after I left I realized it was soooooooo easy and I had messed it up. Oh well, nothing I can do now. The bad thing though is, all i can think about is what I did wrong and how bad it might hurt me. This day could be a life changer. I get in, I am on my way to becoming a music teacher. I don't and I am bummed a whole year and am off track. I really hope that I nailed my songs though. I findd out in two weeks, which will feel like forever. It already does. At least I have a backup plan.

On to the story about jumping out of the car in the middle of the road. This always seems to happen every time I go to MSU. The first time was in January when I first visited the campus. We were running late for the same reason we were late today, the weather, except it was snowing this time. Our meeting with the same guy who play piano for me today was at 10:30. We arrived at MSU at 10:35 and so while mom is trying to find parking, she tells me and my friend to jump out of the car when we get close to the curb. Luckily we survived. Bad thing though, we were at he wrong building. We ran to the music building while freezing our butts off. Hopefully the next time I visit MSU I won't have to risk my life :).

Well I think thats it for today. Two weeks can't come any sooner.
BTW, this post was written on March 26th but posted the 27th because my laptop died in the middle of typing.

The Road to the End of a Journey

Hello World!

This week is pretty much turning out great! I have 3 days till my college audition. YAY! I am ready, I have a full day that day starting at prolly seven AM. MSU get ready for Cassie :)

So choir has been good and bad the last few days, lots of drama but lots of happy moments. We ordered our senior song yesterday and I got sad. Then today we decided we're going to give flowers to our parents or whoever and possibly put a poster for people to sign. It really depresses me to think of that last concert but at the same time it makes me happy cause I'm on my way to big things and I can 100% guarantee I will be crying a lot on May 5th, the day of the concert. On another note for choir, our next contest is 2 weeks from Saturday :) We're the only one in our area and class which is a big area like 30 schools to compete in this and we're going to rock it!

Last thing for today, College time is nearing. I got my room info and my roommate stuff and I got everything I wanted. My future roommate I had already talked to thanks to a future student app on facebook and we are already really good friends. I can't wait till college. 51 DAYS!

Oh I forgot to mention the cute first grade encounter. So I was coming inside after "playing" Chicago Ball with my weight training class(I stink at that game so I don't know if its considered playing lol) and there were two first graders sitting by the door and one of them says to me "I know you" (I have been joining the first grade music class a lot lately) and so I said to him to be sill that everyone knows me and he was like I bet and the way he said it was the cutest thing ever! I wish my aide hour was with the small elementary they're so cute.

This time I am done :) Happy Spring!

Late night movies always get to me

Hello World!

Its 3 am and I am wiping away several tears. I just finished watching Tru Confessions on Disney( Don't Judge, some of the best Disney Channel movies are on late at night) and this one really got to me. Its about a 14 year old girl who's twin has a developmental disability and shes always filming everything and it shows everything her and her family go through when dealing with the other twin. Maybe I'm just a sap, but this made me bawl because of everything the kid went through and the family as well. From being called a retard, to breaking down because he felt like he couldn't do anything right. It really made me think how lucky we have it. I have a perfectly normal family. Sure my parents are divorced, my mom is unemployed and a college student, spends most her time at her boyfriend's, and my dad is also unemployed and him and I don't talk much, but I have things many don't. I have a pretty nice home, I have decent clothes, I've never had to really go without something I needed, theres always some sort of food in the house, and I have three amazing little brothers who love me, even though they don't show it that often, a mom who does a lot for us just because she loves us, and a dad who loves us. Many kids can't say they have that and those who do sometimes take it for granted. I feel like I have lately.

This movie made me realize, I do wanna work with special needs children. Whether it be with music therapy or I just volunteer, I will do something. This movie also made me realize how much I sometimes use the R word and I need to stop. Many of us don't think about other people when they say those words in negative ways, like retard, gay, fag, the n word, and many other derogatory terms. Those words are offensive to many people because of how we use it. I am not innocent in this and I wish it didn't take me so long to realize what I was saying. From now on I am going to stop saying retard or retarded or gay. There are other words I can use that aren't offensive because it is ok to be gay or have a mental disability. We shouldn't say those words as if they were bad things. They're not! So I hope this makes you think about what you're saying as well and join me in stop saying those words in negative ways.

Now on to another thing I've been thinking about. Like I said I've been blessed with many amazing things that others don't have and there is one thing that keeps popping up in my head and I have to do something. I want to help the victims in Japan. I don't have a lot of money but I need to do something. I brought up the idea to some friends today about helping like we did last year for Hati and doing hygiene bags. Our school made over 100 hygiene bags ans sent them to Convoy of Hope and they delivered them. My friends don't agree with me and seem to think no one is going to help nor will we have time. In my opinion I think time is not an issue. All you have to do is bring some items that at the most will cost you 5 bucks. I think its possible and they need our help. Many Americans are complaining how we help other countries and we never get anything back. Its not about receiving, its about giving. We may not be the richest country, but we have a lot more than others do and if we can help then we should help. I think I'm going to ask the principal if we are doing anything to help and if we aren't, if we can cause there is just something deep in my heart telling me I need to help.

Sorry about the sad post. Tomorrow is a new day and even though I will be babysitting, cleaning, and filling out scholarship stuff, I will make the most of it. I need to enjoy what I have and quit taking life for granted. I promise there will be happy in tomorrows post. Goodnight world!

I saved three lives today!

Hello World!
Another bleh day. Not a lot happened. I did give blood though and I saved three lives today :) I love giving blood, even though I have veins that never wanna pop out lol. I think I've only dontated 3 times but I will definatly keep donating. The college I am going to go to is very big on blood drives and is about 4 miles from the actual center.

My cousin moved back in with my gma today and now she goes to school with me. Bleh! Shes one of those annoying kids who think theyre all that but theyre totally not. Thats her and she joined choir and I may sound stuck up here but I was not happy with that. I enjoy being the only one in my ENTIRE family in choir and thats a lot of people. Oh well I'll deal. So I sang one of my solo today for the first time since contest in front of seventh graders and it was fun they were all pretty shocked which is my favorite reactions to watch. On a side note, I beat my record on how many hours spent in the music room. Up to 5 now. The teacher asked if I even go to class and of course I do, I just get my work done and chill in my favorite room in the school. The music room kinda stinks right now though. We have about 3 leaks in our roof which they supposedly fixed last summer but yet our floor is drenched each time it rains or snow and nothing has been done about it. I'm about to complain myself cause it stinks everytime it gets wet and we have to be careful when we walk in cause one of the leaks is right by the door.

Enough ranting for today lol time for happy stuff. For example, the weather today was AMAZING! Its so nice out, I wanna go camping. Another awesome thing, One week till my audition. I am soooooo excited. Like I said boring day and tomorrow is Friday so we'll see how it goes. I think I am cleaning and babysitting alllll weekend. Maybe I'll take my little brother to the local park up the road if the weather stays this nice. But for now, I have college comp homework. Later Gators!

Crazyness and Homework, and Freshman 15 :)

Hello World!
Still feeling sick. Stupid cold! Oh well I did find out something awesome today. My music teacher told me that I am the first person to get a I rating at my school in at least 10 years! Is that awesome or what? I am so excited and I realized I get to go to two state things within two weeks of each other. Man that was a lot of to, and twos lol. Also today I was a spaz. I felt weird all day and I'm thinking it was the dayquil but I spazzed out on a kid cause he kept saying he wasn't saying the word wrong and we all knew he was and we'd been pointing it out for weeks. Well he said it one more time and for some odd reason I jumped and spazzed out and was like you said it wrong again and everyone was like are you alright and I wasn't even sure. This cold has really messed with me. I got asked if I was pregnant today which really made me laugh. Then I kept getting frustrated cause I couldn't sing really well and I kept messing up and if theres one thing I hate when I'm in choir is when I constantly mess up. It just makes me mad . So I pretty much gave up. I'm hoping tomorrow will be the last day I'm sick cause I REALLY wanna give blood and I'm tired of hearing my sickness lol.

Homework sucks period! I just spent about 2 hrs on my accounting homework I didn't get done at school. I actually like accounting so its weird that I hate doing this but its so time consuming and I don't like that. Oh well it's done and over with :)

As for the Freshman 15, I applied for the Seventeen Freshman 15 today and I really hope I get to the net round. The Freshman 15 is group of 15 College Freshman girls who blog about their everyday life at college.Now since I will be a college freshman next, I thought this would be awesome to try for. Plus blogging is fun and it would just be really cool. It'll probably be a while before the even read my application so we'll see.

Oh and before I go I must say GLEE was freaking awesome tonight. I am proud to say I'm a loser now :)

Being sick sucks

Hello world!
As the title says, being sick sucks. This cold is kicking my butt. So school was longer than crap today and running on 3 hrs of sleep made it worse. I could not concentrate at all. I was a zombie. But I did have enough energy to show my excitiment for state. I was also moody today so it was not a happy Monday. I did get part of my bet in choir though. He bowed down said some stuff and I got it on video. It was kinda weird going home right after school today because ever since 2011 started, I pretty much never went home on Mondays. Mondays were a practice day and its going to be very weird not having any activites after school this week. Its probably a good thing though. So I slept when I got home then got mad at the brats and got into a fight with mom and I am tired...its bed time.
Good night world

Contest results and colds

Hello world!
If anyone is reading this, I am sorry I didn't post what happened Friday. Here is basically what happened.

The day started about 8:30. We didn't have school so I thought I would try to sleep in. Wrong! I kept waking up every hour that night and morning. I figured I would be tired but I guess I was too excited. About 2pm I walked to grandmas so she could take me to school, and be early so I could get everything double checked. Surprisingly I wasn't the first one there. Two choir kids doing solo's and our personal slave(also boyfriend of a choir member, and a supporter of the choir) were already there. I double checked music, labeled books, and made sure the other kids got to school. Finally we boarded the bus and made our way. The fun started off with a quick practice while driving and it was pretty hilarious. After that many hilarious and slightly inappropriate conversations were had. Since we had such late performances, we stopped to get dinner and the girls were pretty mad cause the restraunt of choice was closed. So we found the next chinese resturant and invaded the place. We put 3 or 4 tables together and we looked like a giant family. It kinda reminded me and one of my best friends of the La Vie Bohem scene in RENT, but no table dancing was done that night. I'm pretty sure the chinese guy tried to scam us that night and made us pay for an extra soda.

After dinner, pretty much all of us napped for the 30 minutes we had before we arrived at the actual high school that hosted the event. Bad thing was everything was behind. about 30 mins later, I watched the first solo of my choir of the night. My Sophomore alto who I hope to replace me next year, did very well for her first solo and being sick. She got a III rating which is translated to good. Although I think she had one of the tougher judges. Then we had about 2 hours before the next solo. I was freaking out at that time because I felt like my throat was being weird. Everyone told me it was nerves, but I just felt a cold coming on. Then I watched the next soloist in our group. One of my best friends. This was also her first time doing solo/ensemble contest. She did really good and even though she forgot some of the words, her judge(who was also my judge) loved her and gave her a II also known as excellent. Then it was time to get ready for our sextet performance. I pretty much had a heart attack when the girls were getting their dresses because one of the girls who had a solo and was in the sextet could not find her dress. To ake matters worse she was in a tshirt and sweats and there was no way we were going to let her perform in that.

At this point I'm freaking out cause I got all the dresses ready the day before, two girls are searching the bus for the dress, and two others are trying to find replacment clothes. So the two girls came back from the bus and are telling me they cant find the dress and i am aplogizing like crazy and the director is like i dont care who did it or hopw it happened lets get it fixed. Then the girls laugh and tell me it was on the bus. I pretty much attacked them and I was so mad. Little brats. Thank god that crisis was fixed. So off to the next two soloists. The girl who almost lost her dress was up first and she cracked me up. While the judge was finishing his notes and scoring from the last performance, she is sticking her tongue out at one of the other girls. Her performance was pretty awesome. She did one of the songs I did for an audition the year before and an awesome folk song and I wanted to sing with her the whole time. She ended up getting a II rating. The next girl that went did another song I did. It was actually one of my contest songs I did last year and I got a II with it. While she did really goood, she got a III rating. Then we did one more quick run with our sextet and it was our turn. All I have to say for that is disaster. Although it wasnt as bad as our girls ensemble last year, it was pretty bad and we had a tougher judge. I'm not upset with our rating because I kinda knew it would happen. I do feel bad though cause one of the songs was my idea. I thought we could handle it and we kept improving but it just wasn't enough that night. We ended up getting a IV which is basically the needs improvement rating.

I am proud of my girls though. We did something we hadn't ever done before. We really connected and pretty much sang to each other. If you girls ever read this, I am sorry I helped chose our disaster song this year, but I am so proud of you all. Keep your heads up, we still have one more contest to rock in april.

Now this is where I am freaking out big time, the last soloist in our group and the last to perform for this judge. ME! I was excited yet extremly nervous. I got my pep talk which I will never forget, that was my moment to shine. Even though my director who gave me the pep talk almost made me cry. I stoppped him before he could end the sppech cause I wasn't going to isten to the its been fun working with you sppech. I dont want that till my last performance which is in may. It was finally my turn. It got off to a late start because our accompianist was finishing with another soloist. So here i am waiting. The pep talk kinda made me excited and I was ready. This was my chance for the spotlight. This was my thing.

I finally got started and It went great. Although I had a few intonation problems in my first song, I made up with emotion and my AMAZING high note in my second song. It was awesome. I knew I had some soprano range but I had never ever hit that high of a note before. I hit it in practice but it was always just average. This was just th best note ever and I wanted to stay on it forever. My choir kids made it even better when they cheered at the end(even though you arent supposed to do that.) I smiled but forgot to bow then walk calmly out of the room and pretty much lost it. That was my best performance ever. Later I found out you don't have your best performances when you are doing stuff like that, but I did and I felt great. I didn't care about the rating(ok maybe I did a little.) I was ready to find out what I got.

We got all of our stuff ready to go while waiting for everything to be posted and I was still freaking out. I could barely talk and I got mixed up. I called a hug a high five and now hugs are high fives and high fives are hugs. While I changed back into my normal clothes, results were posted. My director pulled me aside and gave me a speech about how some people get the rating they deserve and some don't. I was freaking out, did that mean I didn't get the one I thought I would get? He kept going on and on and I was like just tell me already. He made it sound like I didn't get what I want. But then....He told me I was going to state. I didn't believe him, he had to show it to me.

By that time I am screaming out of excitement and pure joy. I had accomplished something my school hadn't since who knows when. After telling my director I was mad at him for that speech, I was tthanking him for all the time he had put in to help me practice and trut me that was a lot of time cause I like to practice and I wanted that Superior rating very bad. I finally got what I wanted and I couldn't chill out. I was running on pure energy and I wanted to just run around screaming. So after screaming on the bus, and outside, and again in the school. I sorta chilled out. (ok not really) Everyone was tired and ready to go home.

We went to Sonic and watched some idiots spray paint a truck, established I can't read, laughed our butts off, I screamed some more, then called a guy a douche for almost running us over. By the time we left sonic, it was 9:15 and we still had about an hr or more to go. I talked everyones ears off, sports bras were thrown, and I got another awesome speech. Come to find out , my director had been planning the psych out speech since October. Jerkface! But then I seen my certficate, heard I had recieved as many vocal ones as the director and all I could do was talk about everything. I think I spent maybe 5 nminutes of that whole ride home not talking. Fianally at 10:50ish we got back. I helped put everything away, wrote the date of state on the date bard and wrote some other stuff on the other board.

By 1130 i was finally home and stil beaming of excitment. Then something happened, I got sick. I think god was watching over me and wanted me to do well cause i could feel that cold coming and it did but only after the best performance of my life. Thank you god, that was awesome. I spent the whole weekend coughing and blowing my nose. but who am i to complain i have everything i want right now. I should feel blessed. There are people in japan that lost their homes, families, and lives that same day I got what i wanted. My heart goes out to them and many prayers will be said.

Oh ya and as for the little bet that was made. No tutu was found but I came up with something even better. I am giving the kid who didn't believe in me a full on girl makeover. It'll be better than a tutu for sure. Now I am onto a new thing, COLLEGE AUDITIONS! I only have one shot to get into this program because i have made my choice on where i'm going. I am singing the same songs i did for contest so I'm not too nervous. One week with no practice is going to be weird though lol.
Thats all for now

One more day :)

Hello World!
I know I forgot to post yesterday but not a whole lot happened. I spent all day and all night working on one song. If I didn't love this song, I would probably burn it right now. This song was done by a all-district women's choir and even they had a hard time with it. We finally got it down and I'm ready for tomorrow. Yes contest is TOMORROW! Any way back on track I guess I'm better at business stuff than I thought. Business bowl was yesterday and I was one of the students in the tie breaker round but i have no idea what i placed and then my team was one of the two teams to actually compete in the bowl and we got second. :) Now we have a new plaque and medals :)

Today was pretty much awesome! I didn't have to go to algebra, I got to actually have fun with a college presentation, blew my choir kids away with my solo, skipped out of psychology for the second day in a row to work on contest stuff and play a tempo game with super cute first graders, finally got our scary son down, and got everything ready for tomorrow. Life is great!

Funny choir moment of the day: one of our contest songs is called johnny said no and its by vijay singh....well one of my close friends(even though i think we're kinda fighting right now) is announcing it at contest and she was practicing and couldn't say vijay so she said vajayjay singh and this is already hilarious cause of how she says it. Well our choir teacher is a totally modest and very conservative christian boy and so we're cracking up and hes like oh no are they thinking what i think they're thinking and were all like yeah. the girl who said it was like yes like vagina and were all about to fall on the floor laughing and hes just embarrassed as embarrassed gets. It was pretty awesome. Ironically when a few of us are practicing later that day, he makes a pretty accurate quagmire impersonation.

Did I mention contest is TOMORROW! I am super pumped and confident :) We're going to be out and about from 3pm til 10:30 pm. I have an 8:30 performance and I'm only a tiny bit nervous. Hopefully I can get it recorded by a friend...we'll see :)

Well not much left to say....cept i really cant wait till tomorrow

no song of the day its actually quiet.

Things Johnny said, Tutu Bets, and The End of it All




Hello world!Today was an interesting day to say the least. First every one super pumped for the girls sectionals game since they won districts! The whole school was decked out in their district t-shirts.....it was awesome. Then in choir we have been working our butts of for district contest which is Friday!!!!!!! I am so pumped....our girls sextet is the best group of girls i know..i love them all...all the sextet sopranos even matched today. We had a practice with our accompanist today and only 3 out of 6 in the sextet showed up...the other three had a reasonable excuse. But anyway, one of our songs Johnny said no is very insane and in the end soprano 2's have a part that is all over so to make it clear, the redhead who should be a blonde made it like a conversation Johnny said! Johnny! Johnny said! Johnny said no! it made my day. During my solo practice, I kicked total butt and you know you picked a great song when your accompanist says she has so much fun playing the song. Now if only I could roll my r's.


All of the Sextet Sopranos in our matching shirts. Ignore the awkward pixels, I had to cover the school name to hide our location.


On to the Tutu bet. A kid in choir told me he doesn't think I'll get a I which is the highest rating and takes you to state. Anyway I told him I would get that I and so he said that if I get the I then he would get down on his knees, say he is always wrong, wear a tutu, say girls are always right and I am awesome and I'm the best and I deserved my big I. I can't wait to see this :)

As for the end, like i said before our girls basketball team had a sectionals basketball game today. I was originally going to stay home because I'm on vocal rest..which sucks big time. But i got convinced to go to the game and surprisingly i didn't really yell and that's an accomplishment because i am a huge basketball fan especially when its my team. Sadly we lost by 39 to an insanely good team. These girls are crazy and half the team is filled by one family and those girls are beastly. I am pretty sure the whole starting lineup was this one family like 3 or 4 sisters and 3 cousins. While it was a tough loss for my team, I am super proud of the cause they kicked major butt this season!

No more free days for me this week. I am a busy kid,Business Bowl tomorrow, another choir practice Thursday and contest Friday!!!!!!!! Can't wait :) I guess I leave with this Johnny said! Johnny! Johnny Said! Johnny said no!

Currently Listening to: Johnny said no-West Central All District Women's Choir(yes that is where we got the song from and I was in this awesome choir (: )

New Beginnings

Hello World!
Today I read several blogs and I came up with a brilliant idea. I should start blogging again! Again? Yes I tried blogging when I was 15 and I pretty much forgot about it. So here I am at 12:19 am writing a new blog while finishing an essay outline for college composition. Procrastination, yes I know :).

Anyway this blog will basically be kind of like a journal for me but at the same time just something fun to do. I should probably say something about myself since people might read this and have no clue whats going on cause who actually reads the "About Me" sections on the side.
So without further ado here is some stuff about me.

I am 18 and from a very small town in Missouri.
If you can't tell by the blog title, I am a choir nerd. More like music addict :)
Music is my life.
I am a senior in high school.
I love to talk and be loud.
Most of these blogs will just be the fun moments of the day.
I have tendency to get distracted very easily and change topics quickly.
I love basketball even though I can't play for crap. Watching is my thing :)

I think thats about it who knows :)
