Should Be Sleeping

Yes, I should be asleep...
I wasn't called into rehearsal tonight.
it gave me a night to relax, which I took advantage of.
I am worried about my recpetion now, will anyone stay for it.
How many cookies should I bring? How many brownies should I bake? What kind of punch shoudl I prepare?
I really didn't think that a recital was THIS much work.
Perhaps someone's sr project should be.
HOW TO PREPARE A SENIOR RECITAL by A. NALL
Honstely though I am preobably overdoing things. Now I have a headache from trying to install pennmush.
This is also my LAST night with dailup...as this phone line is being disconnected and I get the DSL modem on tuesday and DSL installed on Friday.

I am stuck in the midst of writing my paper...ooo...must renew books! Okay they are now renewed and due back on June 10th, which is 2 days before graduation. NO TIME NO TIME, MOVE ONE PLACE!
My I's turned to F's which my advisor said he changed to B's, I also have to pay the remainder of the phone bill.

I also got rid of my old email address and told peopel about the new one MONTHS ago, as well as sending email's to them under the new account telling them that the old one is invalid, but two days after I finally let it go I get phone calls asking why my emails bounced. I also have to figure out why my airport signal is not reaching my room anymore. I want to have my paper done by June 1.

Too many thoughts running through my head to sleep well, even though I need to be at the high school in 6 hours to rehearse my ensemble. I am impressed with these kids, I know they will do well. I am fairly certain the program will go off without a hitch, however, my last song is kinda cheesy, and I really really need that encore. This is my last moment...my swan song. Mindy told me today that it is merely a springboard to my future. Dunno if that is true or what it means really.

Last night I was called at 7:30 and didn't actually work until 8:30, made me wish I had my laptop to type my paper. So tomorrow I will bring it, and a chair or a banket to lie on, I had a perfect comforter for that purpose but I gave it to Danielle. okay once more sttempt to sleep.

Less Than A Week

Okay here is how it will run down...none of this will make any sense to anyone but think happy thoughts.

RW: I am ready, I think that L, M, & S, need to go over it a few more timse, but I have confidence.

NQWIHIM:HISLI: R and I will be fine, however I had a dream about me practicing this and doing odd wierd things. It should be fine.

MA, RY: I am sure B and H will be okay.

P: this is coming along nicely.

TS: If it is where it is at now, it will be okay, but not spectacular.

F: I need to get with T and go over this cause she will not be able to sing with the orchestra until Sunday.

EM: this and F will be interesting, I think that the AHSO will be okay as long as we get a few more rehearsals in.

Fv5.2: We just need to work it.

IGR: This will be fine, L is getting into it.

BOG: We just need to get together as a group.

S: See BOG

SOP: Cheesy

MIEM: Need to print and rehearse as the Encore

I just hope people show up.

Tuesdays Schmoozdays

o/~ What a life, What a world...o/~


Today was just plain up and down. The show was well but it seemed off, I wanted to not graduate but yet I got approved, and get this tidbit, the registrar crossed out my composition major and put in Instruction and performance! I don't even know where they got that from.

My kitty Alex (pictured in my profile) is being very sweet and cuddly right now.

Well tomorrow is a new day and I get to teach chimes to little 4th graders yay me!

Hasta...

Monday Night Mayhem

o/~ Spending my time just holding the line, never getting caught up...o/~

Okay, kinda have to be careful how I word things because you never know who will read your blogs! I love working at my church as a music minister for the contemprary service, however some people just grate my nerves sometimes. I try very hard to be diplomatic, and still things get thrown back at me with an amazing force that it hurts. Compounding on top of this my recital is in LESS than 2 weeks! I know how all of my friends hand;ed the twi weeks prior to thier recitals and I am experiencing the torment and the anguish involved in this, I still have to order the balloons and the muslin in time to tye dye it.

I will have a rehearsal with my string players on Friday and then I will decide whether I will need to use a synth to beef up the strings or not, then I need to find someone to play it, I would but i am either singing or conducting those pieces. I am really not too worried about the rest of the recital, just logistics.

The bell pieces are coming along nicely and I am excited about them, I did tell everyone that I am under stress and that I am rather fragile and prone to emotional outbursts. At least I have my kitties to calm me down.

So now I sit here on a typical monday night ready to type more of my paper. Then i will need to compose a chime solo for wednesday morning, I think I will use simple gifts as the basis for it. Then I am going to probably work on the program some more and start my commercials for the recital. Amonst this I am gonna try and get my ftp program to work so I can show you a picture of my car to compare it with Erin's water bottle from my previous post.

Toodleriffic!

In the Lounge

I am in the lounge, Erin needs Ibruprophin and Mae gave her one. Jacob WON'T do a blog! I really like the color of Erin's water bottle, because it matches my car. Brooke is practicing her conducting. That is fine, Shasta high school reports a $40k on thier madrigal evening. THIS IS AN OUTRAGE, while there are children starving in Japan.

Peace, love and Brown rice...

Oddities

Sometimes what you ask for in life doesn't always pan out. I ordered a buncha new software and I am glad that I got it, but now I can't get certain things to work the way I need them to. *le sigh*. Anyhow tonight I go to dinner with mumsy and then we go see a lot of my friends in an Opera I was supposed to be in.

Okay here is the deal with that...I said yes to being in the operetta, and then I was offered what I thought was a paying gig with another theatre company. I kinda wish I could rewind time and bear with this and have done the operetta. I did have good personal reasons for not wanting to be a part of the operetta and I thought this other show would be cool to do, and in some ways it is.

Well can't go back in time, so not going to worry about it. It is cool to be going wireless though. I am able to sit in my room, on my laptop and grab files and print to the computer across the house. Soon I will have DSL, so I won't even have to be tethered to the wall, I can go outside (conceiveably) and soak up the harsh deadly ultraviolet rays of the sun and still be online, or print inside the house. When i house sit I will still be able to be tethered to the wall which is fine I guess.

My room is a mess, I would show you all a picture but I can't seem to upload files to my server for some reason (see paragraph 1).

My online times have also gone down considerably, at home dialup that is...March I was on for 70 hours, and April, 78 hours. I remember when I frequently peaked at 200 hours. One month I remember 300 (yes that is almost half a month). This month on the ides, I am only at 24 hours. However I have also discovered high speed access at school and have spent some time there.

In any case I am going to stop this blog for a while and get this room cleaned and keep writing my capstone.

Something New!

It seems like Christmas or my birthday, I just went wireless and now I have my own blog spot! A shout out to Meagan and Erin who showed me the way to this fantastical idea. Way cool!

Well I am in the lounge awaiting the sensation of a short sharp shock form a...well a choir concert. I am actually looking forward to this as a potential edumacator in musics, it will be reall sweet to hear a children's choir.

Along those lines, I am in a show called Sweet and Hot (the music of Harold Arlen) it is a pleasant enough show, but the fact that the performers aren't all well, hrmm, I will just say aren't. Anyhow after our third show I messed up a little less, and with that I don't think anyone fell alseep. Only 4 more shows (thank goodness).

Okay, I wanna do somethign else now.

Me!
