Back to school.

Well, I'm finally moved in to school, and classes started today. I can't guarentee the frequencies of my blogs now, because for some reason the USD firewall doesn't like to let me on this site. I can see other people's blogs, but not my own. So this is the first time in awhile that I"ve been on here.
Anyway, I actually have homework I have to do. I have to memorize a song and a half for an audition I have tomorrow. I just got the music about 2 today, so I have a lot to do. Love ya all!

Courtney Linn.

This is my friend Courtney Linn and me. She just sent me this picture, and I thought it was cool, so I'm posting it. She is one of my great friends from Northwestern, and she has aspirations toward photography. She's a sweetheart.

Packing.

Well, once again I'm multitasking, and really not doing the one thing I am supposed to be doing. I'm blogging (obviously), chatting with Chris and with my dear Sara, listening to music, and surfing the web. I should be packing, but dinners going to be ready soon, and I'll have to head down, so I figure I'm allowed a bit of mess around time.
I have to be packed by tonight, or at the very latest tomorrow morning, and I'll be back at school by Saturday.

By the way, Cody? If you're still checking out my blog, you should call me from whatever number you and Susan want me to call you at, and I'll stick it in my phone...otherwise I'll just be calling you one of these days...either way. :)

Multitasking is addicting.

I'm currently watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer (the movie) surfing the web, chatting on AIM, and sorting papers that I should have gone through two months ago. Well, actually, I just finished the stack of papers. What should I do now? The debate is between trying on jeans and studying music theory. Since the theory doesn't necessarily involve moving around a whole lot, and therefore not missing my movie, I think I'll opt for that. I'm such a geek. Oh well. Time to study, I suppose.

All night, All Day.

Ok, so I pulled an all-nighter. I didn't even do anything exciting. I cleaned the bathroom, and my room as well. How sad is that? I also wrote for a bit, but mainly I cleaned. Now church is in an hour, and I'm so tired! Oh well. I have the afternoon free, and I intend to use it! Naptime.....mmmmmm. I have a very large coffee sitting next to me. Somehow I think I"ll be making another before heading off.

I miss school.

Yes, Kit, I know, I've joined the league of conformity! I have rebelled against rebellion! Oh well. Don't worry, I'm sure it's only temporary. Anyway, let me explain why I miss school. I want to go practice. How sad is that? Ok, maybe not so sad since I have to do that to survive as a performance major. Still, is there something wrong with me? Who cares. I guess I'm stuck. I also miss the whole regular meal time/food intake levels/lower snacking levels. Summer really screws with my schedules. Maybe I'm more anal than I let on? Somehow that's really hard to imagine, especially for me. Oh well. It sounds like I have a nice roommate. I was kind of worried about that, it being USD, but somehow it's worked out. She's a peppy freshman, or at least that's what I've gathered from our one phone conversation. It should be fun. Hey, at least I don't have to learn a new roommate name! Her name is Mary Anderson, and my last roommate was Mary Elston. (For additional knowledge, our neighbor's name was Mary Hiemstra.) I know a lot of mary's. Ok, so now I think I'm going to work out and go to bed. By the way, if anyone has figured out how to fit in a workout at another point in the day when working a full time job, without! having to get up earlier, let me know. Thanks. :) Ok. time to go.

Sunshine, Lollipops, and Rainbows.

Ok, everyone will understand the title once they go to bounceeverywhere.com and click on the "download the song" link in the bottom right corner. You don't actually have to download just to listen (I don't think...). Catchy, huh?
That's all for now.

Modelling.

Well, I'm happy to report that the day actually went very well, despite my working a 9 hour shift. (I didn't have to clean smoking rooms! Yay!) Michelle played the model tonight and I played makeup artist/photographer. Wanna see some pics? Well you have to, because here they are.

Work.

So I'm actually in the midst of getting ready for work today. I get to go and clean up after all the bikers, and then come home and clean up after my sister and me. Oh well. At least I'm getting paid to do one of those. How much you wanna bet I get stuck in the smoking rooms again? Sorry, I blame my slightly grumpy attitude on having just woken up from too little sleep. I really, really am looking forward to Wednesday. My day off!!!!!!! YAY!!!!!!! Ok, back to getting ready for work. I have to leave in about 8 minutes.

Ok, so I really plan to be better about blogging in the future. Perhaps, when I get back to school, and have less, but more spread out, time, I shall blog more. What else will I have to do? (Besides practicing, homework, a job, a WONDERFUL boyfriend, and friends, of course.)
So anyway, I got to see my summit roomies, Sara and Hannah, for a few days, and we had a blast! Amanda, if you're reading this, I will call you....I'm sorry I haven't called sooner!!! I'm sure to the rest of you that was confusing. Don't worry. If you want to be more confused, please do ask and I shall elaborate. No. You know what? I'll just post a picture.

Ok, left to right is Amanda, Hannah, me, and Sara. My roomies from summit, and some of my close friends. Congrats Amanda on your soon to be new last name! I wish you the absolute best with your Love.
Well, that's about all I can handle for now. Perhaps I shall write a few letters before bed. Who knows? I can be productive when I choose to be.

Ages and ages have past...ok maybe a week or two.

Today is my day off. It is the first I've had in four days, and the last I'll have for five. That doesn't sound bad, except that I'm used to it being broken up a bit more. Oh well. Anyway, a lot has sort of happened. My iPod broke. Again. I have to call apple to see if I can talk them into trading this month old broken one for a brand new 60 GB model. If I do get it, it will be my fourth iPod. I got a 20 GB B&W screen when I left for college. Within a month, I had it nearly filled, so I sold that to Chris, and I bought a 40 GB. About a month and a half ago, that broke down, and I sent it in for repairs, and they sent back a brand new iPod. That brand new iPod is the one that has just broke. Confusing enough for you? I'm hoping for a 60 GB color screen.

Other than that in my life, I'm really really looking forward to having my dear friends from Summit, my roomies, come visit me. We're going to spend four days in the Hills, and I'll show them around, and we're just going to hang out and have fun. Yay! Ok, now I need to run errands, so I should probably shoot off to do those. And for the record, I still haven't called apple, because I'm a little afraid to do it on my own. Chris has much more knowledge in this and I'm afraid I'm going to screw something up and screw myself over. We'll see what happens.

I'm like a duck.

My mom and I are going swimming. It's 5:56 am. Sorry it's been a few days since I updated this. Oh well. I will more maybe tonight? We'll see. I'll let you all know how it goes. Bye!

I went swimming...way early.

Ok, as my title says, I made it swimming. It was so much fun! I was the only one in the pool for like half an hour, but that was great too, cause then I didn't feel like anyone was watching me (except the lifeguard, but he's just a kid :D )
So I"m going back tomorrow, and it's late, so I'd better sleep now.

Swimming way early.

Hey all.
I decided to go swimming really early tomorrow before work. I'm going to get a bag ready tonight with all my hair stuff and work clothes so I can just head off from the Y. I will let you know how it goes.

Working on the 4th.

Today I worked from 9ish to 5:30. The great thing about this is that I worked on time and a half. It was a great day. I even got tipped! For all of you that don't know, I work at Holiday Inn Express, as a maid. We don't get tipped often, though you'd think we would. Oh well. It's not a bad job.

I need to do homework now. There usually is a study session at this time of the week, but since it is after all the 4th of July, being a holiday, there is no session. Which means I'm all by my lonesome in trying to figure out my homework. Oh well. At least I have the day off tomorrow to work on it more. I want to do some other stuff too, but I haven't even looked at the homework, so who knows how long it'll take me to do. Hopefully not long!

On one off note, I listened to The Phantom of the Opera soundtrack at work today, and I have to say, there is a LOT of screaming in that. You don't notice it, how frequent it is, once the songs are flowing, but really, people scream all the time. Just so you know. In case you were curious. Yeah.

Jenna's all grown up!

Ok, Susan and Cody are visiting this weekend, and they brought Jenna. She's a doll, but she's no longer little! I had to post an update picture. (She's the dog in the witch hat further down the page.)

iPod.

My iPod's back and so am I. I just got back from registering for USD classes, and it wasn't really stressful until I got away from my advisor and realized what I'd done. You see, I'd registered for a class that I want to be in, that sounds great for my major, and sounds wonderful to me, only I have to pay a whole lot extra to be in it. $3000 to be exact. That is the cost of the European tour that the choir I signed up to be in is going on. And it's required for all members. So yeah. I am in the class I really really wanted, but the price tag is way too much. Wow, it's a dilemna. One to sleep on.

A cute dog, a dumb dog, three cool dawgs, (ok, that is a stretch,) and a worm....on my sister's head.

Back to the grind...mmm....coffee.

Well, my day off is officially over and I didn't read, but I did shuffle some books around a bit in my room...ok, a lot. They're all over my bed and my floor. I need to go organize them so I can sleep tonight before working tomorrow. Yeah. That sounds good.
