the weekend is cominggggg

OKAY
HI again, I'm here, I'm still alive
My past weekend was a Singer's retreat and I wouldn't change it for the world. So many relationships were built that wouldn't have normally been built otherwise, and there was such a spiritual note on the whole weekend that it shocked me, but in a good way :)
The only bad thing about that weekend is Saturday night my phone fell through a crack in the dock straight into the lake, so Kendall's phone is no more.
Merh
I also found out Saturday that I can't take anybody to the Laguna formal in December, nonetheless take anybody, BECAUSE the Festival of Lights (one of the biggest things EVER at MC) is performing that night so I can't go, there ain't no way. So the guy I had already asked I had to tell him that we couldn't go, but we planned a weekend for Memphis in November anyway :D
Got a lot of homework done tonight, which I kind of surprised myself ha, and I'm anxiously awaiting the weekend where I can coem home and see my awesome family who sent me a package full of wonderful things and hilarious letters!
Tomorrow Singers is headed out again to go sing at a couple of colleges and high schools, which that'll be fun, more quality time with nothing but hardcore music majors
:DDDDDD
Now I'm going to finish my laundry and head to bed so I won't die from lack of sleep in the morning
PEACE

Wet... and not Wild

I'll write about my weekend and week so far I promise, but for right now I'm going to bed.
This was just an update to let you know I was still alive.
So you don't have to worry anymore.
So as I shove the rest of my soft taco into my mouth I say goodnight!

Follies.

SO I got into the Laguna tribe... it was wonderful :)) We had a picnic with all our tribe sisters and then went on a huge photo scavenger hunt (that was interesting). Later on that night before we all went bowling, well, I went out on the roof and sang Don't Stop Believin Glee style, and I belted it (sorry Liv for taking your number one off your bucket list haha); and I didn't bowl because I forgot socks and it was kind of a ghetto bowling lane place which was overrun by middle schoolers. Yeah. Stayed up late with Laurie helping her set up a skype, skyping with Tori, glancing over some homework, and finally crawling into Shelby's bed at 130.
(P.s. thanks Shelbs for letting me use your bed while you were gone)
My Sunday morning, I slept in, kept waking up on and off, went to my room and slept for another hour, took a shower and hit the practice room for a good hour and a half or two. Came back and did nothing till dinner and had a Follies meeting at 9. Now Follies, which I found out all about last night, is a huge dance/skit competition between all freshman and transfers who are pledging. So almost 200 girls and 200 guys, split up into 8 groups, getting 10 minutes of stage time, battling it out to come out the winner. The tribe leaders told me that girls had NEVER placed in Follies competition's until last year.. and it was Laguna, so in their words, "We're kind of a big deal," and I'm pumped to try and fill their shoes.
Today classes came back in full swing with test results. 3 A's and 2 B's, not bad, but I want all A's daggum it. I'll work on it. I'm just glad none of my classes are super hard or require hardcore studying time (like my roommate's classes!) went to a practice room, sang and screamed in my voice lesson, which I do love that class and my teacher oh so much, and to top it off had an easy assignment with Music Tech and am ready to get some homework knocked out. Had a little bit of down time this afternoon, and when I say little I mean like 2 hours or so, then it was dinner time, back to the room, had Laguna homework, yeah that's right, and then Follies practice from 9-11. We're bringing the heat, and sweating it too. Beef.
Anyway, God is still God and He is still good no matter what. I had an amazing quiet time out on the roof yesterday when I got done singing, I listened to Everything by Lifehouse and just stared at the sky singing the lyrics, "How can I stand here with You and not be moved by You?"
So many times I take God and Creation and his good and perfect work for granted; I'm no longer being moved and that isn't right. My heart should constantly be in motion, beating with God's awesomeness and life and I should be sharing it with others. I hate that I haven't really been doing that here so far, but I'm ready to start.
This week is gonna be tough, I can feel it. But Parents Weekend is this weekend and since my parents aren't coming up I might just go home with Laurie and hang out with familia, who knows? :)
And now, I bid you adieu, because I'm freakin tired. Gnight.

OT Test

Today was a one of a kind day that I don't think I'd like repeating... well, I'm still not sure yet.
Woke up at 645 as usual and ate breakfast in the Caf with my roomie, went to Diction (I love that class), went to Theory and Dr. Meadors came in and surprised us with a pop quiz on key signatures (and I got the A major key signature right and when he asked for the parallel I kinda freaked out. It's A minor just in case you didn't know), went to Old Testament afterwards and we had our first test on Genesis-Deuteronomy. 50 multiple choice questions. I think maximum I got 5 wrong. Guess we'll find out on Monday. Other than that ever homework assignment I've turned in and quiz and test I've taken I've gotten A's on. It excites me =]]]
After my test in OT I went to Jazzman's for a Sprite and some chillax time, which was well spent with Kirk talking about music and things that college will possibly bring; had lunch right after with Shane and Kirk and a guy named Seth (who also knew a homeschooled family with 10 kids in it, cept they were weird. He applauded me on my normal-ness hehe) then went back to my room and took a nice hour and a half long nap :D Came back to the Caf to turn in my Pref card and in order of importance: Laguna, Swannanoa, Kissimee, and Nenamoosha. I'm reeeeeeeeaaaaalllllyyyy hoping I get Laguna BECAUSE almost every girl I met there was somebody I could see myself easily being friends with and they kinda reminded me of me and my sister when we get crazy-awesome together (and yes, that is one word). Met Laurie's little sister Lee who's coming here next fall and can't wait for it and she'll be a music major like me! Went to Kroger with Shane to get some laundry detergent because I think I left mine in the laundry room and somebody stole it.. psh. I got me some of those sheet things that you can use for soap, a dryer sheet, and a static guard, or something of that sort. Ate dinner and then Laurie, Meagan, Lorin and I went to the movies to see Easy A. It was an alright movie, there were definitely retarded parts, like maybe the whole movie, but the cute parts were really cute.
As of right now, I'm in the laundry room, sitting on top of about 3 washers with my Mac in my lap and my earbuds in jammin away cause no one else is in here (=D) and when I'm done I'll go back to my room, snack on a little somethin, and take a shower. Why are you taking a shower at night you may ask? Here's why: tomorrow is "Squeal Day" where girls from your future tribe come into your room, take you with them to a secret room and reveal to you what tribe you'll be in. This is all before the 9am hour, which sucks. And they did tell us to sleep in our shirts, brush our teeth the night before (which I will anyway, duh) and be ready. Code for: you won't have time to do squat when we come to your room to get you. Mmmm. This excites me. :-p I mean I am excited about the tribes and where God wants me to go, but 9am?? FORREAL?!??!?!?!?!?!!!!??!?!??!
I'll let you know how it goes
