Pat on the Black

We finally made it back to Valdosta, & I'm happy to be back. My recital is in 4 days, and I'm still really nervous about that. I got a dress though! It's zebra print with a yellow belt. Love it :)

I'm at my happiest, snuggled up in bed wearing Kaleb's sweats, watching Grey's Anatomy, and about to go to sleep! We are getting up early for church tomorrow, and then after that, I get to FINALLY go back to my dorm. :) Maybe its weird that I enjoy living in such a small space with someone else..or maybe  its weird because there should be no way for me to enjoy 30 other people living on my hall, but I absolutely love living on my own. If this is the only way I can do that right now, I'll be happy with it. There's no one telling me when to eat, when not to eat, when to go to bed, if I can skip class, NONE OF IT.

Jordan and I are good friends. Great friends. We talk about everything, she probably knows way too much about me, and I probably know way too much about her, but isn't that how its supposed to be with a roommate? One of my other friends doesn't even talk to her roommate. She never had a huge problem with her...Its just that from day one, she was like "I don't want to be friends, I want to be roommates, and that's it". I just don't see that working out. I would never have been able to bring Kaleb over. Our room would have never been switched around. I would have less shoes & jewelry to wear. (yeh, she's definitely not my size in shirts & pants haha) I just don't understand how you can get through college with someone living in the same room as you...but never ever talking. When Jordan and I had our big fight...it lasted days. We said like 5 words to each other the whole time, and it was miserable. When one of us came into the room, the other left. My whole point is: DON'T hate your roommate. Be friends. If you have to do everything you can ever think of to be nice to them, do it. It will be worth it.

I know I wrote every single day over spring break, and maybe some of it was stupid, but I have to get my thoughts out somewhere. Anyways - Spring Break was overall a good week. I spent time with my family, and got to do some things I don't get to do at school. I'm not wanting to go back though, a week was plenty of time for me. A lot of things happened over my break, things I probably shouldn't talk about on a blog where anyone can see. I didn't 'grow up' over spring break by any means, but I have learned some things this past week. I've learned for one, that I will be a lot busier from now on. Not only will I have school, Kaleb, friends, choir, and the sorority, but I will also be catching up on some things I haven't been doing that I should have. (can't believe there's anything else to fit into my schedule, hunh? me either.)

Be that as it may, (I looked up the word 'anyway' in the thesaurus. haha) I am going to watch my show now, that I have been talking about for like 3 days now. Night <3

Tybee

I have missed going to the beach whenever I want. Last year, I was free to go whenever I felt like it. Now, I live 2 hours away from any beach. I've gotten so ready to come back to Savannah for spring break and go to Tybee. When I got there today - just like usual - I was ready to leave within an hour. Not only was it excessively windy, but it's still St. Patty's Day weekend in Savannah, and there were a ton of people...on the non-crowded end of the beach!

Tomorrow is basically the last day of my break, I don't know when we're leaving to go back, but I'll be back in V-town  by tomorrow night! Sunday, of course, is church, so I have to be back Saturday night so I can be there and sing on Sunday morning. Dorms don't open til Sunday at 10am. That's really dumb if you ask me. 

I was at Walmart today, and I heard this lady on the phone behind me complaining about how Savannah was taken over by drunk people. Seriously? She was decked out in green, traveled here from somewhere else, and you're going to complain about it? DON'T COME HERE THEN....just sayin'.

I've been practicing for my Wednesday recital. It's next week. I'm absolutely terrified. I'm sure I can't be the absolute worst, so I guess I'll get over it. :)

I'm going to go watch some more Grey's Anatomy! I'm halfway through season 4 now! I just can't wait to finish 5, 6, & 7. lol I wanna start on 8! Oh well. I'll get there eventually. :) Good night!

Spring Break

Today I took my history and psychology tests that I've been stressing over for 2 weeks now. I don't know how I did...but I guess I'll know after spring break! Anyways, my psychology class was at 3:30, and that was my last class of the week - so my spring break has officially begun.

I will be spending my entire break sleeping and learning my part for Holst's 'The Planets' & practicing my solo piece that I have to perform on March 23rd. (By the way, in that picture...I'm only singing G for eleven measure straight...[haha] & that's not the hard part...I just didn't take a picture of the hard part.)

Now, since there's no more class to worry about for a week, it's time to clean my dorm. I hate coming back to a messy dorm after a break from school. Even if I just leave for the weekend...

Laundry is a must...I guess. haha I need clean clothes at least for one week. 

Just to throw out there...I'm going to New York at the end of May this year, and then at the beginning of June I'm going to Seattle. I'm a bitttttt nervous...I've never flown by myself before. (that'll only be for Seattle though, I'm flying to New York with my choir) Anyways, I think it's naptime for a while.

1. Naptime.

2. TBΣ 

3. Cleaning/Laundry

4. Pack

5. Sleep through tomorrow because I have no class. :)

Best Day of My Life

No, that's a lie. Actually - I'm terrified of getting a lecture & being yelled at. I got sick this weekend, and I missed church (where I get paid to sing in the choir) and I also missed my rehearsal for school choir. We have a concert tomorrow and I feel like I'm going to get yelled at in about 30 minutes when I go to class.
Also, I can't find my music folder. I'm not really sure how this class is going to pan out...

I have dance later on though - So maybe that class will be better :)

I'm still feeling awful, but a tinyyyyy bit better. I'm trying to suck down some hot drinks so I can fix my throat. I can't NOT sing today...we have a concert tomorrow! We'll see how this works out as well...haha

Jordan's asleep and I'm just trying to be quiet, so that's why I'm blogging. I think Toddlers and Tiaras is on, so that's what I'm watching. Hunger is setting in...but I'm on a diet, so I'm trying not to think about that either!

I WILL do laundry tonight...no, that's a lie. I'll probably do it on Wednesday or something.
I just found out I have to stay here for Spring Break. FML. I don't have the money to drive home. hahaha. I'll be alright though. Okay - I'm gonna put some eye makeup on & attempt to look like a person who's not at all sick. :P


***EDIT: My day got better...we got our TBΣ pins :) We crossed December 3, 2010. We JUST got them! (along with our membership cards of course) YAY, We're actual members now. :) hahaha
