Dance Dance Revolution!

Tonight is the first performance of the JSC Dance Ensemble!

Hooray! I can't wait till tomorrow night when it's all over and I have a life again. Haha.

Got some disturbing news last night from Shawn. Hopefully I'll get better news from him tonight.

Julifer spent the night last night. Neither of us wanted to be alone.

I got an interview on Wednesday at 7:30 for the RA position. Hopefully it will go well. It sucks though kinda because Michele and Shaina the RAs in Arthur apparently have been terminated which sucks cuz they're my favorite ones in Arthur.

I gotta go to dinner now. Bye.

Sleepless in Vermont

It's 3:00am, but I can't sleep.

I don't know why.

I'm tired. I want to sleep, but I can't.

My dad accepted my invitation to Facebook today. He's now officially online and a part of my college life I guess.

Tomorrow is my Psych group's presentation. Then I am finally done with that project. Halle-bloomin'-lujah.

I cannot WAIT for Saturday night. It can't come soon enough.

OK, I'm gonna go try and get some sleep for reals now.

Busiest Day of My Life

That's what yesterday was. Super duper busy!

It didn't start off too rough. I went to lunch with Amanda. Then I went to check my mail.

As I was walking to my box, I hear the mailroom lady (whose name I should learn) calling my name. So I'm thinking that there must be someone named Shane or something similar working there. I walk by the window and she goes, "Shane, I think there's a package for you." So she looks in the bin and hands it to me telling me it saves her the trouble of writing it up.

Guess what it was!!!! It was Rosie Freakin' O'Donnell's book!! IT CAME! I was so excited. I rushed back to my room and started reading it.

So after reading it for a bit, I checked my phone. It turns out I had missed a call while I was at lunch. It was my Psych group project member Marissa. She and another girl Kate-Lynn were working on their parts of the paper to bring to me later that evening. So I called her back and left her a message. Then at 2:00 I had to go to class.

After my music classes, I went over to my Elementary Methods class. Before class, I tried calling Marissa again. This time I got in touch with her. She said she and Kate-Lynn would bring what they had written over to me at dance at 7:30 and then when I was done with dance, I could bring it back to my room and finish the paper. Fine.

So I go back to my room after class and read for like 20 minutes. Then I head over to dance.

Marissa and Kate-Lynn come in and give me the flash drive.

At about 7:40, we started staging the part of the finale that everyone is required to be in. It took forever. I was not impressed. Then we finally started the run-thru. After we did Ghostbusters, I asked Jenn if it would be OK if I missed Grease so I could go work on my group project. She said it was fine so I went back to my room.

I got to my room and plugged in the flash drive. Turns out the files were made with a newer version of MS Word, so I had to download some update. Then I put together what was given to me and went back to dance.

I made it back in time for Grease. I did that dance, and then I asked Rayshelle to call me when it was time to do finale. Then I headed over to Marissa's room.

I got there and she, Kate-Lynn and I worked on the paper until Rayshelle called me and told me to come back. I left my stuff and ran back over. I did finale and ran back to Marissa's.

We finished working on the paper together, and I headed back to my room. I got to my room and took a break. I finished reading the book. It was beyond fantastic. I enjoyed reading it so much. Thank you, Rosie!

Then at about ten past midnight, I started working on the paper. I finished at 1:30AM. Then I took a shower.

I got back to my room and had missed a call from Shawn. So I called him back, and then I went to bed around 2:30.

Today, I woke up at 7:30 for breakfast and dance at 8:00. It was so early. After dance, I went to the library to find my article for my personal Psych paper. I went to my room and finished it. Then I went to the computer lab to print out both Psych papers. Luckily, my group member, Chris, was there, and I gave him both things to turn in. I had decided against going to class due to lack of sleep.

I went back to my room and slept from about 10:30 until about 2:00. I woke up and laid in bed until 3:00. Then I went and worked on the presentation part of our group project until about 5:00.

Then I went to dinner. Then I came back to my room and caught up on Ross' Talky Blogs.

Now, I'm relaxing until dance at 7:30.

Till tomorrow people!

Late Night Blog

It's late. I'm blogging. I hate missing days.

Today was so boring and stress filled.

I decided to wake up around 11:30 for brunch. Well, brunch wasn't being served today. Lame.

So I came back to my room and made two of those Jimmy Dean microwave breakfast sandwiches. They were pretty good except the English muffins were chewy. That's what happens when you microwave bread products. I watched an episode of Nip/Tuck and then went to dance at 1.

I got back early, so I started working on homework. I think it was the theory assignment originally, but I also worked on the Psych paper. Then at 4, I went to dance again. I went straight from dance to dinner.

After dinner, I came back and Joshua came over to work on theory analyzing together. We worked and worked. Maddy and Matt stopped by for a minute. Then Caitlin came in and helped us a little. Then Michaelangelo came over and helped. Then Brittany came over and we took a break. She was tired and her feet were smelly. We finally took a couple group photos to put on my wall. Quentin also called and had me come let him in the building. He stopped by for a few minutes. It's amazing how many people come see you when you leave your door open.

After we finally coerced Brittany out of the room, Josh and I went over to the library to listen to recordings of our pieces. I really liked mine. I'd never heard it full through.

Then I came back to my room and watched the end of The Amazing Race. Then I set to work more on my group Psych paper. Since only one person in my group actually sent me anything, I couldn't get much done. Then I decided to just write all the sections myself based on my research and turn my own stuff in. I emailed everyone and told them if they get back to me with their contributions by tomorrow night then I'll put it all together but that I have other stuff to do and if they don't get it to me tomorrow it's not going in.

I ate some Ramen and went over to Arthur hall for a bit. Then I watched another Nip/Tuck episode and finished analyzing the first and last pages of my piece (they're the same virtually). Then I took a quick shower.

Now I'm about to call Shawn for one last time tonight and go to bed.

¡Hasta mañana!

Break's Over

Well, I'm back up at JSC. Break is over, and I have a TON of work to get done. I'm going to take a nap, but then I'm gonna work hard all night and tomorrow because I have to get it done.


Yesterday was pretty good. I went to the movies with my dad. We saw Dan in Real Life. I really enjoyed it a lot. It wasn't as funny as I thought it was going to be, but it was still very well done.

Then, last night, I went out to TGI Friday's with Kayla, Matt, Ari and Gabrielle. We had a nice time. I threw lemons at Gabrielle. Afterwards, Ari, Gabrielle and I went to the mall. It was almost closing time, but it was still fun.

I got woken up early today to head back up to school.

I'm off to take my nap and then work for the rest of my life. Till tomorrow.

Happy Thanksgiving!

I'm sitting here watching Legally Blonde: the Musical on MTV. I love it.

Today was THANKSGIVING!!! It was an OK day.

I woke up early, well, early for me, to leave from Rachel's house. I spent the night last night. We had a really fun time.

Anyway, I got home and got back in bed watching the parade. I ended up falling asleep and waking up to the dog show.

We headed out to go to my aunt's house for dinner. We hit traffic. It took a long time. Dinner was amazing. I abso-freakin'-lutely love Thanksgiving dinner. I could eat it every week. It is SO good. The dessert was awesome too. I love pie.

It was fun playing with my little cousin Rhiannon. She's adorable. I love kids.

So now I'm just hanging out. I should start on some homework, but I forgot all my stuff up at school... Whoops.

Well, I'm off to see if I can do some homework. Ciao.

Time Flies

When you do nothing.

I've been home since Saturday afternoon. I've done nothing. It feels so good.

I really do need to work on one of my projects. Soon. Tomorrow. Definitely. I can't put it off.

College sucks. Too much work.

Nothing too interesting has happened so far.

Took Pa out on errands on Sunday. Nana fell over. We picked her up. Scary.

Kinda miss everyone up at school already. If only I didn't have to go to classes it would be perfection up there.

Tomorrow I'm taking Pa out for more errands, and then we're going out to lunch.

I might be going to Rachel's tomorrow night. I don't know yet; I haven't heard from her.

Well, I'm off to make some nachos. Talk to you soon.

Talky Blog with Fred Again!

Here's another Talky Blog with Fred!!!



I'm headed out. Picking up my grandfather and taking him all over.

Till tomorrow!

Love Today Bloggers!

Oh my goodness, bloggers.

I made a video tonight. It came out so well. It's great. I took the best clips from past Talky Blogs and strung them all together in a music video. It's my favorite artist MIKA's Love Today. Hope you like it!!!

Party Blog!

I'm at Kate and Mal's apartment. We're having a party. We did a Talky Blog on Julifer's computer. Enjoy!



I have to go. Julifer's computer is about to die. I will blog more tomorrow. Bye, people!

You Have GOT to Be Kidding Me...

I am so unimpressed right now...

"The National Weather Service in Burlington has issued a Winter Storm Watch for Northern Vermont and the western slopes of the Green Mountains...which is effect from 6 PM Thursday through 6 PM Friday.

Rain developing overnight will mix with and then change to snow during the late afternoon into the evening hours Thursday. The changeover will occur first at the higher elevations...and gradually move to the lower elevations over Northern Vermont and along the spine of the Green Mountains. Snow will continue into early Friday morning...and then taper off to occasional snow showers during Friday afternoon.

Total snow accumulations will depend primarily on how quickly cold air can move into Vermont while a surface low pressure system develops rapidly Eastern New England late Thursday into Thursday night. There remains some uncertainty...but the potential exists for 5 to 9 inches of snow in the Winter Snow Watch area...with isolated 10 inch amounts in the higher elevations across the Northern Green Mountains."

I am in utter disbelief. It was almost 60 degrees out today.

I never use profanity on the blog, but this time it is necessary... Fuck Vermont.

Eek!

I have been very lax lately about missing blogging days! I know this will say it was posted on Wednesday, but it's really just late Tuesday night.

So I'll be busy again, but not too busy. I'll make it work.

Well, time for bed. Sort of.

It's A Beautiful Day

It really is gorgeous outside. It's very autumnal today. There's a light breeze that makes it frigid, but when it's not blowing it's just cold enough to be perfect.

Today is Veteran's Day, and in honor of all of our courageous troops past and present, here is a video (courtesy of Rosie O'Donnell):

And also, here's a VotW:



Dance rehearsals today. Just got finished with Jenn's Greased Lightning. It's not looking awful anymore. It's not looking good though. Oh, well...

Have a great Sunday, blog buddies!

**UPDATE**
PS. Go visit Philip Athan Frost's blog (Apple drink!). He's an interesting guy. The link is over to the left, under Check These Out. While you're at it, check out all of the links there.

Totally Apologize

Holy crap. I am SO sorry. I can't believe it's been so long since an update, but I guess sometimes you just get caught up in life.

Well, it's been a pretty boring couple of days anyway. I don't have to wake up for observations tomorrow. That's nice. It puts me behind a little, but oh well. It can't be helped.

I'm going out tonight. It'll be fun. I hope.

Quentin's coming over tomorrow night to watch Patch Adams. Amazing movie.

Tonight, I promise to watch Top Model and get caught up. If I have time, I'll watch Real World too. We'll see how I feel.

Well, I'm off. Till next time.

Umbrella-ella-ella...

Yeah, this post really isn't about umbrellas. I just have that song stuck in my head.

Oh my GOODNESS, people! I TOTALLY FORGOT THE ALBUM OF THE MONTH!!

Here it is:

Hairspray: Soundtrack to the Motion Picture

Hairspray Original Broadway Cast Recording

Why'd I pick Hairspray? Probably because I'm a bit obsessed with it right now. When I got an iTunes giftcard for my birthday, I bought the soundtrack to the movie. It blew me away. I loved it beyond belief. Then I borrowed the OBC recording from Dana and loved it too. Personally, I prefer the movie soundtrack. That's strange for me, because usually I prefer Broadway recordings over movie soundtracks. Anyway, you should go pick them both up or borrow them from a friend.

So, what'd I do today?

Woke up at 11:30 and went to lunch. I woke up earlier for breakfast, but I decided not to go. I was lazy.

Then I hung out in my room and watched the penultimate (second to last) episode of the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson on YouTube. I liked it.

Then I had to head over to class. It was an OK day. Theory wasn't bad, but Ear Training wasn't a piece of cake. We actually did ear training exercises. We were really rusty.

Then I went to Elementary Methods. It was a really fun class. Our professor's wife was a guest teacher for the day, and she was really good. We had a nice class.

Then afterwards, we (Dana, Josh and I) had to run to dance. I totally forgot we were showing pieces tonight, so I wasn't prepared really.

The Ghostbusters dance went well. Greased Lightning, not so much. It was the first time we'd done it without Jenn Lindsay either doing it with us, rehearsing it with us, or yelling the steps and counts out to us. It wasn't too pretty. Plus a lot of people were missing, but we who were there held our own.

Then I came back to my room and hung out. Watched CSI: Miami and two episodes of Tyra. Yeah, I'm that cool.

Well, that's all for today. Blog at ya tomorrow.

Moo Goo Gai Pain

Wow. Today was very interesting.

I had a nice day with Brittany and Josh. We got up early and took the bus into Burlington. When we got there, we went to Starbucks. Then we went into Old Navy (gag me) because Brittany and Josh like that store and wanted to do some shopping there. She ended up getting a nice sweater and a pair of jeans, and Josh got a shirt.

Then we moseyed on to Aeropostale. Amazing store. Love it. I bought two shirts for $7.50 total. I love life. Then we met up with KC and her roommate Sarah. We all went to lunch at the Three Tomatoes. It was delicious.

We parted ways with KC and Sarah, and the three of us went to an adult novelty store. It was fan-freakin'-tastic. It was so much fun. Josh and I had fun laughing at the funny porn titles. Our favorite was Moo Goo Gai Pain and One in the Pink, One in the Stink. Looking back, it's more amusing that Josh and I were browsing pornos together.

Then we went into Borders for a few minutes before taking the bus back. We got back in time to make most of Mal and Kate's dance. Then I went to dinner with Tara and Rayshelle and Lorena and Amanda and such. Good times.

I came back to my room and hung out watching TV for a while. Then I went and helped Brittany make her bed. Then she came over and helped make mine. Then we went to Late Night. When I got back, Quentin was waiting for me and we watched the Amazing Race together. It was fun.

Now I'm just hanging out enjoying the fact that I have no homework to do.

Here's a fun video for ya:





See you tomorrow!

Did I?

I don't remember if I posted yesterday... Oh, well.

Today was a nice day. I did my observation in the morning. I walked all the way over to the college apartments in 32 degree weather. I was frozen.

The kids were just awful, but that's nothing new. Some of them were doing homework in band during the rehearsal. Who does that!? Who allows that to happen!? It was ridiculous.

I got back, and it was nice that I didn't have to worry about voice lessons today. So I just relaxed and watched What Not To Wear on TLC while eating some microwave Hamburger Helper.

Then I headed over to practice piano, and Diane told me we could start our lesson at about 2:15. So we got started early. We ended up talking a lot so we got done about the same time.

Went to dinner with Lorena and her friend Carly. It was yucky. Oh well.

Came back and messed around with piano music for a while. Then went over to see Big Love again. OMG! I didn't talk about it yesterday! It was awesome. Lots of naked though.

Now I'm just hanging out and waiting. I'll let you know if there's any developments tomorrow.

Peace out, girl scout.
