I think I'm getting the school cold I get every year; last year it was around october or november and this year it's quite early. I keep coughing and stuff... I guess it's going around so I guess it was bound to get me sooner or later... blah.

Last night was a good night. After lighthouse we went to Christina's apartment (I have a slight feeling that now that Dustin is my roommate this is going to be a common occurance), and Dustin and a couple of others ditched us to watch Lord of the Rings in Weber's apartment. So it was Me, Chrissy, Amanda, Nancy, Don, Breanne, Heather, Dan, Caleb, Alisa, and Ashley. Give or take a few because some joined in later and stuff like that. So like last week we played the couch game. That was fun and at one point Don called Ashley Satan because Caleb had gotten her off the couch but then Don called her back on and he called her Satan. That was the funniest moment of the night. Then people started leaving when in walk Weber, Dustin, and Alissa (a different one). They couldn't get through it because they were talking more than watching. The girls in the apartment happen to have an old skool NES (of which I HAVE to get one of within the next year or so because I loved my NES as a kid and I miss it dearly and emulators are not the same), so Weber was bragging how good he was at Super Mario 3 and I'm saying "No way" so we started a two player game which turned to three which turned to 4 when Dustin and Caleb joined. We were going to beat the game all the way through without warps. We got to World 6 but it was getting really late (i.e. 2 in the morning) so we are going to do that again some night not starting so late.

Walk home and discover my shelf had fallen AGAIN so I went to Menard's today to get another bracket for more support. The two I bought didn't fit with the 3M hangers I got since we can't screw anything into the walls which really bites. So I had to go back to menards and I found one the same size only the groove where the hanger thing goes is on the other side and there was only one of them. So I bought that one and will use it for the shelf that keeps falling. The other shelf hasn't fallen yet but last night I discovered that one of the things was cracked so I got more 3M things. So I'm going to hang those things up now.

So, I'm looking at everyone's away messages right now and most of them say at the UChoir banquet. Envy and sadness go away. You are in Chamber you should be happy. Still I know almost no one (with the exception of those I just met) in Chamber, whereas I know about 95% of those in UChoir. Oh well. Maybe Chamber will have a banquet. If anyone is reading this and is from Millikin and is or has been in Chamber and knows wheather or not there is a banquet let me know. Leave a comment.

OK first things first.

Tracy is a dorkbutt.

OK now on to news that you may not know.

I made Tudor Voices! So I'm excited. Only 8 people are in that group. And we get to be in the opera so that kicks butt. I get to be in the opera without auditioning. I'm totally psyched. Down side is I can't be in jazz but hey, I would have been in Vocal Jazz Company again which wouldn't be too bad except I wanted to do something a little more challenging. And then OneVoice is going to be weird with Dr. Holmes conducting it this year. But anyway, time for something knew I decided so I got into Tudor. I'm happy.

Had my first lesson with Terry today. And he has helped me already. I have a good feeling he's going to help me the most and what's more I will have him the rest of my college career. YAY NO MORE SWITCHING VOICE TEACHERS!!!! So I'm excited about that too.

MVOP had a lot of people at the meeting last night and even more who signed up at the table at the activities fair who couldn't show up at the meeting so that is REALLY encouraging. I"m excited about that too.

To make a long story short, I have a big feeling that this year is going to be an excellent year.

So this is my first post in September. It was weird because so far September has been about 30 degrees cooler than August. It was sooooo hot last week, and it's been cloudy rainy and cool this week so far. I spent Labor Day at Aunt Barb and Uncle Jim's. So that was a break from Decatur although I took about 25 wrong turns so I was on the road about 45 minutes longer than I needed to be. But hey I got there and now I know the right way to get there.

OK you know I love the wizard. I can quote the movie front and back. But there was one thing I didn't know about it until this week when I read it on imdb.com. And here it is.


TOBEY MAGUIRE IS IN IT AND HE HAS A MULLET!!!!!

That is correct!!! That is freakin' hilarious in my book. This was like his first role. So that makes more famous people starring in a movie most people think is cheesy but awesomely nostalgic. I mean we have Fred Savage at the height of his stardom, Beau Bridges playing another role as a dad, and Christian Slater AND NOW Tobey Maguire before they became big stars. Who would have thought Tobey Maguire would be the biggest star of them all today?

I have one thing to say.

Dustin is weird. ;)

OK maybe I have a bit more to say. Like I can't seem to focus on reading. Granted the book is boring as heck. Child development. I can't seem to concentrate. Could I be pregnant? Dude what a coincidence.

Also my class is so weird this year because Some days I start at 9, some at 10, and some not until 11. So my sleep is all screwed up, especially after waking up early for work the last two months. That I needed to work at 7:30 for music camps at GB really screwed up my sleep metabolism and now I have such a hard time going back to sleep if I wake up at like 7 or 7:30.

Tonight we had a fire drill. At least it wasn't at like 6 in the morning like it was once for a tornado drill, or when Jason Fairfield woke up the entire dorm to yell at us about smoking pot (that was freshman year in Mills, the all guy dorm for those of you who don't know millikin and didn't read my archives.) OR at least it wasn't 20 below (overexcaggerating slightly but it still was like close to below freezing at least) like it was last year. when I was in shorts. and a t shirt.

My audition for Chamber is tomorrow, and I'm fairly confident it will go well. I hope it does. I really want to be in a choir that is committed, not only to creating great music but also committed to all rehearsals and activities, and is going to tour. UChoir just didn't work out.

Oh I forgot about my audtion yesterday for Vocal Jazz. Dr Holmes is teaching OneVoice this year so the audtion was weird. OK the song was fine, but the scat wasn't. When Wiedenhoffer did it he played an upbeat chorded beat pattern (although then some of hte chords were kind of hard to pick out since they were so dissenent). Dr Holmes however doesn't play the piano as well as Dr. Wiedenhoffer. All Dr. Holmes did was plunk out a medium pased bass line. Which is REEEEEEALLY hard to scat to. All in all I think I did OK, but I doubt I will be in OneVoice since it's so small and they already have Ian and Chris who were in it last year as tenors so..... you know...... I wouldn't mind being in Vocal Jazz Company again except that I was in it the last two years, and I think I am ready for something a little more challenging jazzwise. So if I don't get in it I may try out for Tudor Voices. But I still don't know.

OK that's about it except now FINALLY my space is ALL ORGANIZED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And Dustins is TOOOOOOOOOOO! YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAY.

Well that was weird.

OK Tuesday, my internet stops working. So I go to the lab and email the annoucements if anyone elses was working. Turns out my network access was blocked because of the Welchia virus (WHICH, PARDON MY FRENCH, SUCKS MORE ASS THAN THE BLASTER VIRUS). So I went to AT and got the disk and cleaned it and they said my internet access would be restored within 15 minutes. So I go home and wait. and wait. and wait. Still no dice. So I called them and went to bed internetless. Which made me sad.

Wednesday morning. I got a call from the head AT guy and he was coming over. So that afternoon he looked it over and thought maybe my ethernet card had died because the light didnt' even go on and nothing was working. So I took it to AT to be replaced.

About an hour later, I get back and they said my ethernet card worked fine. I take this back and it worked fine, except AIM didn't work. So I updated that along with Windows Update, and AIM worked fine until I tried to start a chat and it didn't work. Someone else started it, and invited me but it didn't work. A third person did and it did.

And to top it all off, the internet is still kind of slow. But basically that's the end of my day minus internet and I hated it.
