Wow it has been a while since I have written in this thing... I went to the choir concert tonight it was good. I have to do this paper but I get sidetracked. I am doing a lot of stuff with geneology lately... I have found tons of info. That's about it.

I think I got a bad case of Fanta.... I got some fanta grape at the store and iut is really gross. It tastes like something was added that wasn't supposed to be added; it doesn't even taste like grape! Yuck. It doesn't taste remotely close to Fanta in a bottle. I hope I can return it or something.

Still suffering from post-home depression. Tomorrow I'm going to this festival with millikin men so I am happy, because I don't have my busy Wednesday! YEAH BABY!

I'm back now... I don't want to be back. The weekend went by WAYWAYWAY too fast. Oh well.

I got sick on the way home. Like puking sick. It was not fun. Poor Molly had to pull over off teh interstate like 3 times for me to vomit. And then on the way home from Molly's I puked up the Sprite I drank. But for the stomach flu do you know what works? WARM COCA-COLA. It can't be cold because it will make your stomach contract and you will throw up again. And it can't be Pepsi or generic brand or whatever because that isn't as acidic... Coke will kill the bacteria. And it works wonders I attest to it.

Friday I visited school and went to a musical rehearsal because I most likely won't be going to the musical... I am still clinging to the 1% chance that I can go. I will look everywhere for a way to go. But I got 2 of my observation hours down!

Saturday night we made a power run to Door County because Aria wanted to go to this dance in Sister Bay because these 3 boys she met at Marina Fest wanted to see her... I don't know but Vanessa went along and they had fun.

And the way back was much better than the way up. I was not sick. But I wanted to stay home! I still want to be at home. Oh well I'll be home in a month for thanksgiving and shortly after that I will be seening my family for vespers and like a week and a half after that is Christmas break. OK I have to finish unpacking and then I have to eat and then study for midterms.

Last day of class before fall break!! I can't wait to go home.

Today has been a good day. I saw the opera it was good but Garrett was supposed to be in it and I saw him for one second and that is when he was moving the throne... I don't know. Anyway I got an A- on my conducting lab from FORBES!!! That generally means I did pretty dang well. Good. Then I find out I don't have to teach for music ed! At least not by myself... the whole class will be there and Dr. Shields will do most of it!!! And I sang in Masterclass and did well, and he did well in Vocal Jazz. Good day today. I'm happy. Tomorrow will be awesome because tomorrow I don't have choir! The only problem with that is since I don't have choir after about 4:30 (pending how long my lab will be for physics) I will have nothing to do for about 14 hours until I leave to go home with Molly at about 6 in the morning Thursday. I can't wait to be home!!!!!!!!!!!!

I got my Bernstein CD yesterday and I can't stop listening to it!! Especially The Masque. That is my favorite part of the entire Symphony #2 (the age of anxiety). Awesome song!!!

MUSIC I AM LISTENING TO: Leonard Bernstein, The Age of Anxiety, The Masque

Well, I just had my first Krispy Kreme donut. I thought they would be long johns but they are just regular. They are really good! Not what I expected exactly, but good just the same. They do indeed melt in your mouth. Good times.

I told Garrett my dream and he's like "Oh, my word!" Like he always is lol :) He also asked "Where was I?" when I went over to the Golden Girls house.

The Choir was good at church again... I want to be in UChoir so I can sing "Praise to the Lord the Almighty the King of Creation" that is SUCH AN AWESOME SONG!

I saw Red Dragon last night with Don... it was very good but it gave me a weird dream, of course lol. This was my dream. I dreamed that people started to act really weird; it started small, like I was in a chemistry class and the teacher said "Move this to the right" and I said "You said yesterday to the left and only to the left!" and he got all mad at me. Then people started saying sex was awesome and stuff... people were saying "sex sex sex sex sex!" So I went over to the Golden Girls house (I knew them apparently and they also lived in Decatur even though they are a walk away from the beach!) and Betty White was weird but the rest were fine and the one lady said that Revelation was starting. So I thought yeah it all adds up. But then I went to Mills Hall and it was totally different; There were no doors there were curtains on the doors and it was totally different! And everyone was crazy! So with some other people's help I was going to blow it up because everyone in there was weird or something and so I rigged a wick that would last a half hour so I could get everything I needed out. Clothes, books, other stuff. The thing that would blow it up were Two tomato slices and close to the end someone yelled "Hey I'm not eating these tomatos!" or something. But I just got out in time when it blew up and it was totally weird and I would never do something like that in real life. Bizarre.

Now I'm going to church. And then I will be watching the Packer game!

I went to the game for a while... the first 5 minutes of the first quarter were awesome Millikin was up 17-0. And then it went downhill from there. I left after Wheton scored again to make it 39-20... middle of the 4th quarter... First homecoming game I have ever been to where the home team lost. Crap. Oh well it was still fun. Shanan sang the national anthem that was awesome.

I'm getting over my cold finally, I guess.. I'm a little less stuffed every hour. my nose hurts though... it's tired! It's tired from all that blowing. I can't help it if my sinuses are stuffed up!

I had this weird dream. Brad Holmes told me I had to do a speech. There were like 3 people doing one. Well I was gone when it was my turn and then I showed up so I stood on a car and did a speech, but it was really stupid like "hey, I'm cool!" Dr. Holmes got really mad and it made the national news there was like a helicopter view of me standing on the car, and then my choir teacher from high school wrote this essay that was published in all the newspapers and magazines. It was weird!

Today was weird too with my sore throat... I can sing bass it is that bad. Oh well I'm not alone, both Christie and Jason have sore throats too so I think it is going around... I'm drinking Lemon tea and eating salty foods and stuff... salt is supposed to kill the bacteria in the throat that's why people gargle salt water with a sore throat but I can't it's gross and my sister puked once while doing that. SO I'll just eat a salted pretzel. And lemons i KNEW were good for the throat so Lemon Tea is it.

OK I"m eating now then I have MVOP... my movie is not here yet hope it comes tomorrow.

I have a sore throat and I hate it. It hurts when I talk and sing. Blah. I think I am getting a cold. Just my luck. But the Packers won!!! Yay!

Something interesting is going on! I tried WinMX yesterday and I got on the actual network!! And I did it this morning too and it works! Even though downloads are slower than a modem, I'm on WinMX so that is awesome! I am excited. I downloaded quite a few songs yesterday, and I have quite a few that aren't done.

Candide was so funny last night. Garrett's line as the priest saying the boy could add to their services (using a lisp on the s on services giving the stereotypical implication that there was more behind that, adding to the recent events in the Catholic Church and boys being molested) had the hugest laugh of the night. Also Katie's line "Many years ago while they were eating my buttock" was hiliarious. Man. That was a great show.

I saw Candide tonight it was awesome but I am really tired so this is going to be short bye.

It's been a good day. I went to the recital because I knew everyone who was performing except for the low brass group (but I knew one of those people too). It was good. But I was really hyper today. It's one of those days.

I'm talking to Mike right now and he says that the dances for West Side Story are really hard, but it will be great. I wish I could go see it. It doesn't look good so I will have to settle for going to rehearsal.

Well I got my timeline back and I got a perfect score on it! 200 out of 200. Then it was worth all the hard work on it. Well, today begins the busy day of the week that I absolutely LOATHE... wish me luck.
