An example of duty (as explained below) This is my sister meredith standing duty at the foot of the fort. She stamps peoples tickets.



My dog owns you....and can fly :)



Yay so fourth of july weekend, I'll be home alone. Great. I'll be working and my family will be in Monroe. dillyo. Oh well I hope the boogey man doesn't get me! lol




free DSO concert?! heck yes! lol

Yea I so I guess this job has some perks! lol The detroit symphony orchestra is playing at Greenfield village starting tonight through monday and I get in for free!!! They said that the food tent is near the concert.....so that rocks! lol So nothing else to exciting. My grandpa's brother is in town with his family. My grandparents are in China. I wonder if they can speak chinese....hopefully lol Yay! I got new windows in my room. They replaced the original windows (and when I say original I mean 1932 windows......they weren't the best...lol) Mine never opened so now I have windows that I can open! Can I get an amen? lol Maybe I'll take a picture of them and then post it. Can't wait to get my new computer. I just need my parents to go with me to get one. They are moving sorta slow, I must say. Vacation bible school was fun yesterday. lol We did some skits adn I was the father. "Is the father from the south?" "No just the southern part of Egypt" lol I'm sorry thats how I talk lol

Home again!!!!

Havn't had a random picture in a while.....lol I have a weird part in my hair.....hmmm Picture courtsey of my best friend miss katie dupree! lol

Anyho.......I am back from my AOP ( orientation program) I have my classes picked for next year. I will admit I was quite stressed as I don't have a gasp on what career I would like...Right now I'm in history and thats nice I guess. But my dream is to become a comedian either on the radio or tv or stand-up and I don't want to throw that aside. So maybe I could try communications or broadcasting...hmm. But you need all of your core classes first anyways so. I thought of a cute name for my old high school's marching band theme (because you know i-pod sorta a registered trademark name...lol) I think it should be something like "Pocket DJ" because like 99% of i-pod owners carry theirs in their pockets. I know creative, huh? lol

I was in Barnes and Nobles for like an hour today just wondering. I actually wondered thru East Lansing for about four hours on my own. (It ended at like 10 and my sister came at like 2:15ish) I went to Starbucks and had a fab double chocolate chip frap. and I think that might be what gets me through college! lol Bonus: my dorm is like next door to it! Yay for being on the border of campus! Well I will stop rambling and let you all get back to your lives.
Great quote of yesterday: "Do you think that if I lied to ASCAP, I could still get a tote bag???" lol probably not...

oops sorry! lol

Sorry about the cut off audio....its hard with a no cell rule. I saw one of the adults and had to hang up! lol

Well it was rather interesting, I guess. Especially since I did NOT want to come back this year at all! lol Taking a year off with INW sorta made me not want to go back. Standing duty was alright. (Duty-equals two and a half hours of standing outside greeting visitors and other weird jobs such as cleaning the cannon and stamping tickets) Some days it rained and some days the sun shone so bright you couldn't even see. Flags sucked in teh beginning of the week. I was Canadian on Avenue and so all the flags go up and down at the same time. We had to practice so much! (Flags- each girl and her flag partner each have a flag to lower and raise, its sorta hard to do! lol)
I worked in the Governor's Mansion on Wednesday. It has a lot of rooms. But I did see a box of Corona! (Shame on you Jennifer Graholm!!!) We helped with the tours of her house. We had two busy days! Augh! (Busy Days-a day when your patrol can NOT leave the barraacks at all, all day. You have kapers to do and they have to be done by like 10:15. We cook all the meals for the day and do a service project. We had to sweep like 13 flights of steps on this one trail.)

So this isn't your typical Girl Scout camp, oh no, its a lot of work and energy. Well it is a service camp so its supposed to be strict, I guess. One of our biggest rules is not to fratinize (whoa spelling) with the male fortstaff. (AKA the soldiers of the fort) Of course I find the only loop hole! lol Well on my busy day, at fortstaff night I was the 'hopper' (you serve your table and get whatever they need) All of the soldiers come to our barracks for dinner. There were like three at my table. They weren't the best that we have had so I just ate and didn't talk very much. Well the next day my duty was in the fort. One of the soldiers (who had been at my table) came up and asked if I was majoring in History at MSU (I am...) I was like yes, how'd you know? "Oh, I looked you up on facebook" !! He looked me up on the internet?! lol I didn't even know that he knew my name! lol ha so we said that we can fratinize with the fortstaff online! lol (Oh and don't worry about that guy, he just wanted to tell me that he is head of the history depeartment at MSU and just wanted me to know in case I had questions about it, nothing creepy! lol)

ok I'm done. Augh I have to work today after having a week off. OOOOO yea my old high school director is now the prinicple at Keppen School. So as of now my high school has no badn director. Their first marching band rehearsal is next week!!! Well I'm out of high school so it doesn't affect me! lol

We're burning the place down! lol

You wouldn't believe the number of people who don't know what a coney dog is. I mean its a hot dog with coney sauce on it. Oh and the people who have never seen Faygo (except if they live out of state). So I am getting my hair high-lighted and I don't know if I should do blonde or light brown. hmmm.....so if any of you have any input, I'd love to hear it! lol and its free because its my hairdresser's gift to me for graduation. I have never touched virign hair, but I need to do something different for college. I don't want it any shorter, I'm going to grow it out more.

I leave for Mackinac Island in like two days for a week. Am I packed yet? Heavens no! lol Well we wear a uniform most of the time so really you just need clothes that you can change into. Augh I have to be in Grosse Ile at 5am! Augh!!!!! lol But now I have a cool I-pod pillow that I can bring on the bus! lol

People should visit me at the village, its gets boring when no one but old people come! lol

So I auditioned for the Spartan Marching Band which is one of the best Big Ten marching bands in Michigan. There is only 13 spots open for alto.....thats not counting the music majors who are automatically in and the people auditioning next weekend. The director only had positive things to say, but maybe thats just what he says to everyone. I mean words like 'from what you have played so far, I see that you are qualified adn able to be in the band' and 'you are doing perfectly'. But I mean he could be saying this stuff to everyone. But I guess if I don't get in, I'll at least know that I tryed and played my best and thats they're is always next year. I have wanted to be in this band since I was like four........
