bored...

haven't been posting much b/c honestly - NOTHING is going on, & i'm bored out of my mind here in seneca. seriously don't do much - get up, run, go to the tannin bed, eat, shower, sleep...yeah - that's about it...everyday. oh - i did write my first guitar song this week. :-) hopefully, the first of many! hoping to write some more piano songs too, but it's not something that can just happen. we'll see. the song i wrote this week is called "meet me here." hoping to write a piano part to it sometime. i'm excited about the next couple of days though - going to blacksburg for the senior class day. get to see my friends :-) also get to spend some time w/ one of my best friends this weekend too :-) headed to white oak for my summer job tuesday. should be pretty busy til then...have a telephone interview monday to hopefully be an RA at school next semester. hey - money!!!! works for me...but i doubt it will work out. anyway - i'm boring myself...gonna go find something productive to do...YEAH RIGHT!

one week down...

found out today that i'm getting my wisdom teeth taken out july 19. that's supposedly the earliest they can do it...needless to say, i'm not happy...in pain. been told for the past 3 years that i need them out...and now i've gotta wait 2 more months. oh well...
leave for camp (the one i'm workin at) the 24th...my sister and her baby have been here for the past week...they're leaving tomorrow. it's been fun :-)
started running again yesterday...but durn, it's hot here. it's really sad though - i'm so sore...i lost all muscle whatsoever over the past year. i'm tryin really hard to be positive about living here now...but i can't hide the fact that i do really miss being around friends...being able to just call someone up and say ''let's go do something.'' can't just go up to the school and hang out w/ people or play sports w/ the teams and stuff. oh well...that's life...gotta take what you're dealt and figure out a way to find happiness in it. needless to say...again...me and God are spendin a lot of time together!!! but that's a good thing :-)
guess that's all for now...i've got some readin to do...

sUmMeR tImE :-)

i finally unpacked!! geeze...it was a pain, but today i accomplished more than i have in the past 2 weeks...probably! so i got here tuesday night after my last exam (well, my jury) and today i finally unpacked. can you say procrastinator?? yes, that would be me. i also painted some shelves that will be put in my room eventually...that's been put off for awhile too...(we moved my senior year in high school). so i'm thinkin the procrastination thing is hereditary...my dad was supposed to do that. so, i'll blame my "problem" on genetics! haha...
anyway...
i'm trying to catch up on rest before i head to camp on the 24th. it should be interesting...but fun. i'm a little apprehensive about it, but i think that's to be expected.
hm...yeah, so i really don't have any interesting news. oh...(not that this is at all interesting...) but i started the left behind book last night...AGAIN. i think i could quote the first 5 pages by heart...i've probably started that book 15 times since it came out. i WILL finish it this time...you know how i can tell?? i'm now on page 21. that's a huge accomplishment - i'm not a big fan of recreational reading. but i've begun to feel like i'm losing a grip on my, oh how should i put this, um...brains. all of the sudden i can't spell anything...and my common sense (if i ever had ANY) is completely running on empty. my solution: i'm going to read this summer. we'll see how long it lasts! lol...
OH...big news...my parents and i are going to columbia tomorrow after church to have dinner w/ my grandparents and pick up one of my sisters and her daughter. schuyler, my sister's husband, is going to be out of town until next saturday, so i get to spend a week with my sister and niece :-) definitely GooD TImEs :-D i figure i'll get a lot read tomorrow too :-P 3 hours to columbia...and 3 hours back. we all know i'll probably sleep the entire time, but until it actually happens...i'm telling myself i'll read. we'll see!!
went to the tanning bed for the second time this summer today...so now i must go...in search of lotion. i'm burnt & itchy...:-O

sneezy & sleepy....that would be me

yeah, ok - so i just did the most disgusting thing ever: took the vacuum apart and cleaned out all of the hair. gross!! it was smoking and emitting a bad smell so we thought we should do something before it blew up! finally fixed it...and got the screws put back in...at the expense of a suitcase key that's now bent beyond ever being used again AND my pointer finger which was smashed by the fingernail clipper i initially tried to use in place of a screwdriver. BUT the good news is that the vacuum works...and isn't going to blow up. (i don't think)
before that we cleaned the carpet. get this...last week we went to krispy cream. while eating a raspberry-filled doughnut, the filling sneaked it's way out and landed right on the carpet. dangit. so i pulled out the wal-mart, off-brand, all-purpose...and it got RED, SMEARED filling out of our very light carpet!!! how crazy is that?! so today, we figured why not try to get out the B.B.Q. sauce out too. it fell behind the fridge at the beginning of last semester and busted open (figures...new carpet). after 9 months, that stuff came out of the carpet!! so let me just say...get some WAL-MART OFF-BRAND ALL-PURPOSE CLEANER!
so i'm headed to bed - will have to explain the eventful night last night another time. for now, i've got to catch up on some serious sleep!

this cracks me up...

the longest week ever...

to put it bluntly, this week sucks! it's exam week and i only have exams today, friday, saturday, and NEXT tuesday. not that i'm complaining or want more exams, but it's going by SO slowly...and i've really got nothing to do. had my toughest exam this morning, so it's not like i can even cram for anything. just practice for a couple of hours a day and sleep. seriously - i'm bored out of my mind. yesterday was 'reading' day...yeah, so no classes - no exams...nothing. i did get to sleep til 12, but still...i'd rather get all this out of the way and start my SuMmEr!! the next 6 days are going to be torture. i can't even pack up my stuff...nothing to put everything in. aNyWaY...
i really have nothing to say...except that my life is pretty dull...i'm well-aware of that and i apologize. i really don't have the slightest idea why anyone would actually read this...it's more for me to waste time than anything. wow...i need some excitement in my life. ok...i guess it's back down to the practice rooms for me.

last day of classes!!!

yeah, ok...so here i am again on another boring and extremely long monday afternoon - trying to waste two hours in the SoM before my lesson. have i mentioned that i hate mondays? but who cares now...it's my last day of classes!!! i had my last 8 o'clock class this morning and i'm ecstatic! i don't think anyone understands just how much i need my sleep - and dealing w/ two semesters back-to-back of 5 days a week 8 o'clocks just hasn't gone over well. doc (the tpt prof) told me today...'my, you look sleepy this afternoon.' thanks for pointing that one out doc. but anyway...i get to sleep all day tomorrow!! "reading day"...ok, first of all...i won't be reading. and secondly, i seriously doubt anyone else will be either. studyng, maybe...but not reading. reading puts me to sleep - it doesn't take much. so where was i going with that?? hm....
oh, right...yeah, nevermind - completely lost all train of thought. (that tends to happen...get used to it!)
today's gonig to be even longer than any other given monday, but it should be a fun day. bcm (baptist collegiate minstries) is doing their annual gender wars banquet tonight...it should fun. good food and good laughs. the guys lost...they'll be embarrassing themselves tonight for our sheer amusement. looking forward to that!! and i think i'm going to check out late night carolina at the gym tonight too. free stuff! i'm up for that! ok...i'm beginning to bore myself now...i apologize...
guess i'll go and TRY to be productive...maybe practice for my piano exam saturday? although...i could take a nap...hm....

what's up with the weather???

yeah ok, so this morning i barely got up on time for church, but the good news is i made it. but my question is: what the HECK is up with the weather??? it's SO cold & windy. normally, i honestly wouldn't care, but being in columbia with bad weather is just miserable. trudging to class in the pouring rain as your umbrella is blown away inside out, although is hilarious to watch from inside, is not the least bit fun for nerds like me who refuse to skip class. (this has happened too many times to mention...i gave up on the umbrella by the way). anyway...my point is...we have a concert tonight on the horseshoe @ 6pm. i'm so not looking forward to it. it should be interesting....for now i'm gonna nap in my cold room (no heat either i might add) and wrap up in a blanket...or two.

let me fill you in...

so...today has been extremely boring and unproductive. got out of the bed around 12. used to love sleeping late, but i sleep all the time now. it's kinda ridiculous. slept until 3 a couple of weeks ago. like i said - ridiculous. i'm starting to get on my own nerves...but off of that soapbox.
tonight's been pretty depressing...i didn't get to go to the mercyme & jeremy camp concert here in columbia. and might i add - i'd been planning on going for months!! i seriously doubt my two favorites 'groups' will ever tour together again...and if they do, that they'll visit columbia. dangit...that's pretty much all i have to say about that. college is great...but i'm so broke...and that sucks big time! the highlight of my day was going to the christian bkstore and getting mercyme & jeremy's autographs. even got a pic taken w/ jeremy. it's not that i'm obsessed w/ either 'group,' but their music has just both meant and done a lot for me. enough of that...can't change it now!
i recently got a job w/ camp la vida as a summer counselor. it should be fun, but i had a nightmare so-to-speak about it last night. i vaguely remember it...but it involved duck boots. my mind is so random! even when i'm asleep! but anyway...
one more day of classes...ONE MORE EIGHT O'CLOCK CLASS. it's almost too good to be true. i'm so ready for the summer. my last exam is next saturday, but i'm stuck here until tuesday week b/c of my jury date. how i managed to get the last possible brass jury (and the last possible jury period out of the entire school of music!) i'm really not quite sure! it's also my scholarship audition - but no pressure. geeze. anyway...that's about it for now. i'm gonna go be even more unproductive....
