Pictures!!!!!!

Ha so sometimes I like to upload old pictures that I find, so I did........enjoy =)


Back of our dresses in front of my house. Homecoming 03, I loved that dress, just not the date. lol I don't think I could fit into that red dress now if I tried.....haha



Dearborn Youth Symphony, 10th grade, back in the old clarinet days.




Blue Lake 04! Back: Amanda Anderson, L-R: Caitlin Pack, Amanda Verna, Me, Krissie Reardon, Kelen?, Martha Seroogy, Sarah, Meg Bowers, Leslie, ?, Madeline (sp?)



7th grade band trip to Cedar Point. Me and my good friend Brittany. Look how long my hair was! See you guys didn't believe me when I said I had long hair....lol and that's when it was shorter.

I'm so excited! I just can't hide it!

I just talked to my advisor and omg I am sooo excited. Right now we are in the process of getting me an internship with the BBC!!!!!! (as in THE BBC in Britain!!!) for my senior year or junior year! The classes in the telecommunications major seem so interesting and cool. I think it is what I need. She said its about how many people you know in this buisness! lol So she gave me a list of people to get to know before next fall. lol She suggested that I try to volunteer at as many radio stations as I can or do internships there. But I need to go swich my major so it has time to switch over.

Thanksgiving is in14 days!

Love?......I call it pizza.

I can't wait til Thanksgiving break. This semester has gone by so fast! I can't believe thats theres only like 4 weeks left! I mean one of my classes are practically done and we get two weeks off. Prospal 2 passed, half of the students here are seriously thinking about moving out of Michigan. I haven't drank pop in about 5 days, I only had a coke today because they burgers at the cafe and water just didn't seem to go with that. lol

Wheres my 100.3 WNIC?! Where's my Christmas music?!

Awwww Why doesn't the online radio work with my mac???? That's the only station with my Christmas music!! Well in other news......I'M GOING TO CALIFORNIA, ARIZONA, AND MAYBE LAS VEGAS!!!!!!!! Yippiee! that's our plan for spring break. My aunt and uncle live in AZ, my cousins live in LA, and Las Vegas is just awesome! I have never been to Arizona and they have been telling us to come visit them for years! So we might. Not sure who would be going, my little sister is going to Florida for her spring break like two weeks later with the band, and my older sister might have a dance compeition that time. hmm I'm free to go.... =) I finished my rough draft and it feels so good to have it done! A guest lecturer on Tuesday and again my class on Thursday is cancelled! Well we have to play the lecture online but still I don't have to go to class! Math test tomorrow, he said its more important than the final...eek. Math Learning Center here I come! lol Maybe I should get a tutor. But I understand the material and when he puts a problem on the overhead I get it right like everytime, so I don't understand why I am not doing so hot...

Mamma Mia!

Mamma Mia was awesome! Very colorful and loud. lol Sometimes you couldn't hear the sining because the pit was louder! haha Then we went to Buffalo Wild Wings, it was good as it always is! lol I forgot what sauce I like, I also switch Sweet BBQ and Honey BQQ. Oh well they are both good. Like as of two minutes ago I am almost done with my paper! It has to be at least 9 pages and I made it to the 9 page mark, so now I can just keep writing or start my conclusion. But I stil have to get my end notes in and my bibliography. It isn't due until tomorrow at 1 so I think I'll make it! lol I also have to get stuff ready for my 8am exam, augh. I have a math test on Wednesday. Save me now! lol I can't wait til Thanksgiving!! That's the next time that I get to go home. But I think my parents want to come to the football game this weekend so thats good. Switching my major either today or tomorrow but probably more tomorrow. lol

Not feeling so hot

My cousins are 100% Chinese and cuter than yours! I also have a Greek cousin, I won't try to spell her name. lol I took a nap hoping to feel better, only to wake up feeling worse. Since its snowing I don't want to venture outside to get food. So I'm sick adn hungry but I did have a candy bar from the vending machine. I also have a 12 page paper due on Tuesday, so I guess this weekend consists of being sick adn typing for hours on end. Well technically I have one page done and so that only leaves 11...lol But Mamma Mia on Sunday! It's so cold in my room, maybe I'll become Ms.Handyman and turn on the radiator. lol I want pizza. Real bad...real bad...I want it so bad I would walk across campus to what I feel to be the best pizza in E. Lansing. OMG I go home for one weekend and what do I see?! HUNGRY HOWIES is GONE!!!! They sold the franchise!! My favorite pizza place EVER!!!! I mean there still is A pizza place so it better be the same pizza or someone is going to get it! lol ooo buffalo wild wings also sounds good.... =)

Great =)

Some good things happened today (in no particular order):

1) I'M GOING TO SEE THE LONDON PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRA! OMG I went to buy my Mamma Mia ticket and was OMG they are comnig here? For only $25?! I am so there......It's December 1st and I am beyond excited.

2) John L was fired today!

3) My parents are finally putting texting on my phone plan, so go ahead text away!! I know I will, and random texts you may all recieve....... :)

4) I'm related to someone who has TOUCHED Wynton Marsalis' trumpet!!! I guess my grandpa met him after a show and got to touch it! lol I was talking to my friend and came to the conclusion that only hard-core band geeks would be as excited as we were about that.....LOL

5) My ISS class is cancelled for tomorrow so only one class at 1 is all I have!

6) Got the highest grade out of all of my professor's students on our huge quiz. Now the class hates me ;) Can't help it that teaches love me lol j/k

LALALALALA I'm excited!!!!! ABBA songs all weekend.....I should get the soundtrack....

Let the beat from the Speakers run through your Sneakers

So my weekend wasn't as I thought it would be. This morning I had a huge exam in writing. I think my hand was shaking the entire time. I think I should treat myself because I got through day 1 of exams. Because surprise, we have two more exams next week! Went to church yesterday for the first time since the funeral. It was like we were in a mourning period. I got some shoes this weekend. I wore my new flats to class. Bad idea...When I got back to the dorm, the whole back of my pants had blood smears and so did my socks and my shoes (good thing that they were red shoes!) I guess I managed to get 2 blisters on each ankle and have them open. It had been bleeding for like 15 minutes before I noticed it. At least my boots don't give me blisters...

haha

- Get Your Own


Getting ahead of myself...well maybe =)

Feng Shui?

Yesterday me and my roommate rearranged our room. It probably would have been a sight...lol Two petite girls trying to move bunk beds, dressers, desks and all the plugs. OMG I unplugged my surgebar to move it and I plugged it into another outlet and flipped the switch.........Then I screamed bloody murder! lol I guess the outlet was bad and it just exploded....on me...it looked like a fire cracker! It burned my hoodie alittle. I was like ok maybe not that outlet...But its weird, I actaully feel better and when I woke up I felt better. I think its like that feng shui, the art of putting things into a room to create harmony. But there is no way for me to get on my bed....I had to pull out the bottom drawer of the dresser and holst myself up and swing onto the bed......I think I am going to build a ladder. Well I should probably go study like a good college kid.

Monday, Monday

Yea I know, you wish I was your child!

Anyways...

If those 3 or so audio blogs decide to show up, I'm sorry! lol I did one and then my sister called so I was like, do I put audioblogger on hold? lol So I hung up and then it called me!!! I was like Hello? No answer. So I hung up and then did another one. So I don't know how it turned out...lol Surprise it is cold again. OMG did anyone see the game on Saturday?! Greatest comeback in NCAA Divison 1-A football! (and I was there!!!!) Ahhhh! So usually we turn in our math assignments on Wednesday, and so I went to go print mine off to get a head start (or so I thought) and the due date said the 23rd......wait isn't TODAY the 23rd?! lol But as you can see I am still putting it off, by playing on the computer. I have til 4 and there are like 5 questions and I did one. Still have to write my paper. Well I had started it and you know what? My mac froze!!!! I thought it like was above these sorts of things. So I have to start my paper over. Oh well I hadn't done too much on it anyways. Hopefully I'll buy my Mamma Mia tickets today!!!! I have had ABBA songs stuck in my head all week! Coming home this weekend!!!! Yay! Meredith turns 16 on friday, my how they grow up fast. I guess she's having a party or something of that sort. Not sure, all I know is that my mom made my dad paint the basement. lol

Sucker for Ballads

Me and Katie's LAST band concert....:(

I decided while riding the bus today that when I get married I want this to be my wedding song....

"When You Say You Love Me"

Like the sound of silence calling,
I hear your voice and suddenly
I'm falling, lost in a dream.
Like the echoes of our souls are meeting,
You say those words and my heart stops beating.
I wonder what it means.
What could it be that comes over me?
At times I can't move.
At times I can hardly breathe.

When you say you love me
The world goes still, so still inside and
When you say you love me
For a moment, there's no one else alive

You're the one I've always thought of.
I don't know how, but I feel sheltered in your love.
You're where I belong.
And when you're with me if I close my eyes,
There are times I swear I feel like I can fly
For a moment in time.
Somewhere between the Heavens and Earth ,
And frozen in time, Oh when you say those words.

When you say you love me
The world goes still, so still inside and
When you say you love me
For a moment, there's no one else alive

[bridge:]
And this journey that we're on.
How far we've come and I celebrate every moment.
And when you say you love me,
That's all you have to say.
I'll always feel this way.

When you say you love me
The world goes still, so still inside and
When you say you love me
In that moment,I know why I'm alive

When you say you love me.
When you say you love me.
Do you know how I love you?


What would I have done if it wasn't for Josh Groban? Oh that's right, gone with a Whitney Houston song....lol :D

Birds Up!

Aww I miss my church.....I don't miss those glasses though......LOL At dinner they were showing Star Wars, it made my day. What can I say, once a fan always a fan. Tomorrow I get to sleep in! Praise the Lord! I napped a lot today, my roommate probably thinks thats all I do. Every time she comes in on any day, I am always sleeping! lol What can I say, I tire myself out! Augh I leave for Chicago at 5am! Not cool. I sat outside the music building waiting for Ashleigh and it made me sad listening to all the bandish conversations. I mean stuff that only band kids would say. My math teacher makes me wanna shout. He always messes up! Then he'll be like, why is the answer wrong? Because you did it wrong, you idiot!!! Augh I sweat my IQ goes down 5 points everytime I ener his classroom. "So Magic Johnson shot a basket adn signed autographs for an hour" So Mr. Brandt, what in heaven's name does that have to do with factoring.....just wondering......FYI: Magic Johnson graduated from the high school that my sister works at! He also went to MSU and was here like last week! Boo-yah......just kidding....

Trust me I'm a professional...

ha On the bus back from Meijer (not MeijerS lol) and there was this guy and he talked rather loudly. (Asking the driver) "When is your birthday?" A couple of minutes later "I'm hot, I'm taking my coat off." Then later "Oh that Martin Luther King Jr. was funny!" I had to keep myself from laughing! lol My presentation went ok I think, she said I got all the major points and did fine. My test was pretty easy for the most part. Aww I got my schedule for this weekend, leaving here at 5am, great. We have to meet in the commuter lot (mind you this isn't even in East Lansing...) thats where my truck is parked lol. But you can call the bus to come pick you up. Oh Tomorrow we are having an emergerncy (man why can't I spell today?) water shut-off. I don't like the sound of that...Ahh I can't wait for next semester to get back into band! Oh I miss it soo. Oh I'm tired I think I'm going to bed........G'night......Oh one more thing, that movie with Borat in it looks soo funny! Watch the trailer or go to youtube.com and look for it there! lol

...Another package?! Geeze...

Ok people what is with people sending me candy?! So This is the 3rd! package of candy that I have recieved in the last week. Did I like hit the jackpot or something. Strange......OMG My writing class FINAL exam is in like 2 weeks! What the heck? Augh that lady...Tomorrow I have an oral presentation, I am SOOOOO nervous! lol It only has to be like 5 minutes, I'm just summarizing an article, but still. The freaking article is like 14 pages long and took forever just to read it. What a boring topic, history or poetry? Hmm who cares if Herodotus was a poet or a historian? I don't. Then 2 hours after that I have an exam in my ISS class, wow what a fun day. not. But the rest of the week I don't have an exams or assignments due! So if I can just make it past tomorrow I think I'll be fine. Chicago this weekend!!! :D that menas some mad shopping!!!....and good food! You guys should call me on Sunday because I have a six hour train ride by myself and I'll have nothing to do! lol I hope I get a window seat at least. Then the next weekend is Meredith's 16th birthday. Man, I remember when I turned 16......Katie and my parents and our youth group surprised us! We were actually surprised too! lol Seems so long ago........... :D

Real quick

If the Tigers win the world series we should all makes shirts that say "Tigers eat YAMS!" (Yankees, the 'A's, and the Mets!) lol I thought it was quite clever myself!

Go State?!.......maybe not.

I always root for the underdog. lol I was a Tigers fan when they used to lose. I support MSU even if they never win....Well if they can win 3 more games, they have a chance for a bowl game.....HAHA lol Like that will happen. Don't mess with Michigan sports.....look what happened to the Yankee's pitcher.......ok sorry that was mean but I can't help myself. But in other news Katie will be here soon!! I'm uber excited! She hasn't seen my room yet, I don't think that she has ever ben here before. Hopefully I can give good directions! lol That's not my strong point..........lol Ha Father of the Bride is on again! lol This is the second time I have seen it in the past weekend. Ok she should be here soon, so I should go get ready.

Augh

Its 3:12am and I can't sleep. My stomach hurts like I have to throw up or something. I think I ate something, I never feel like this. Augh of all days.....the Ohio State game. But I would rather not go and drive home to see my parents and it is really really cold. Augh I'm going to try to sleep it off....

How is a girl supposed to keep her figure?

When your church sends you so much great food! lol I had just went two weeks without having food in my room. lol Tomorrow I might go to Monroe with my parents and have some nice warm chili! hmmm with cheeze-its! Yes I put cheeze-its in my chili. lol Ahh Katie might come visit! I hope it works out!!!

Fun and festivities abound in Lincoln Park - Features

Fun and festivities abound in Lincoln Park - Features

See my city's not too shabby......lol

Imagine all the people...

Imagine, if you will, a scene that is out of the ordinary. For example, outside my window I see something that just seems well off. A blue cloudless sky, its snowing like whoa, and the trees are still yellow and red and dropping leaves. So it is a mix of snow and leaves falling with a clear sky. odd. Got out of two classes early today, not too shabby. Hopefully going to the free showing of The Devil Wears Prada. Should be fun. OMG What luck! Ok, so at the Wharton Center they are showing Mamma Mia, which I have been dying to see since it came out. Before the showing they are serving a huge Greek dinner to get into the mood. Well that starts at 5 and my class (on opposite side of the campus) gets out at 4:50. So I am like, man, I guess I could skip or leave early. So I am looking through my syllabus to look something up and notice that on the day of Mamma Mia, we don't have class! I was like :D. So I'll see if my friends are still going and then get my ticket! I love Greek food. Saganaki and Baklavah could probably be the best foods on earth.......Ok so now I am hungry......lol

Grandma?! Grandma?! lol

Omg my Grandma called me like 12 times yesterday. She left me like 3 voicemails. One was just her saying, "Lisa, this is Grandma.............Lisa, this is Grandma............Lisa this is Grandma." lol I could hear my mom in the background coaching her on how to leave a voicemail. lol but I hate it when my phone doesn't give me any indication of a missed call or voicemail. Geeze. Math exam today. pooey. Then I have to come back and write an outline, term paper proposal, and a bibliography all by tomorrow. Did I mention I changed my topic yesterday? So all new research is in line as well. But I know a lot about Egypt and I have to compare it with how Herodotus (I know, who? lol) writes and describes it. Ahhhh shoot. lol I had a dream about my family and our crazy Christmas dinner. lol It was funny. My family makes me laugh, omg are they funny. No, not funny like me, it's funny when I talk about them! lol :D

Wasting time...

Figures whenever I want to shower, the showers are closed for cleaning. Well I only have like an hour before my class. Hopefully it gets done soon, it doesn't take long to shower and I guess I won't blow dry my hair to save time. Tonight I won't have time because Ashleigh, Chris and I are driving to Pinckney. I think that is how you spell it...lol He has a rehearsal and since I have my truck up here me and Ashleigh are going to eat at her house. I don't think we are getting back until late tonight. I can get my reading done while I am waiting for him and I can do my research tomorrow. Hopefully start my outline. Those showers better be clean soon. lol But I actaully finished my paper like in the afternoon. Usually I don't start it until like 6. lol Ahh time's awasting......lol I hate feeling rushed. Ok I'll go see.....lol

Ok enough of all of that depressing stuff..... :D

lol So that was just one of my little bad days. I don't think MSU is the school for me. I think I am going to tell my parents when they take me to Chicago that next fall I want to transfer to Specs Howard. I think that they will understand, I'm pretty almost positive that they will let me. I'm lucky for one thing, having parents that only want their kids to be happy. Unlike the rest of my family that only care about whether it will bring in any money. Sorry that politics make me want to shoot penguins and if I was a lawyer I would probably throw tuna at my clients and tell them to fix their own problems, I want ice cream! lol But instead of transering mid year I'l stick it out for the rest of the year, don't want to miss out on my racquetball class! Hellz no! lol I wonder if Specs has dorms, because I am very wary of living at home since it is in Southfield. I mean that is like an hour away so hopefully.....Well my friend goes there, I wonder where she lives.......for the first 16 weeks you get to take a little of each cass, either in audio or tv, then you can choose after that and they evaulate you to see what you might be best at. I def. need to find Katelyn's number and see how she likes it.

Life

Empty is my life, why did I waste 18 years of my life? What do I have to show of my life? Scrolling through the list of majors here, I come to realize that none of them are for me, but then what do you do? It is hard when you aren't good at anything or have any inerests to fall back on. I wish it was clearer. My life has just been one big lie, one big act. Well the curtains have fell and the show is over. I wish my life had more direction. I wish that someone could just evaulate my life and give me a list of different careers to look into. The sad part is that no one understands because I was stupid enough not to let anyone into my life. Maybe I just dream too big, I mean I guess opera singer, Broadway actor, a Rockette, or a famous actress are just that....dreams....and can never be more then that. My old minister suggested getting into the ministry, and for a while when I was younger, I considered it. I used to sit in the balcony when the sactuary was empty and would just imagine having my own congeration, them holding on to my every word. I always wondered how minsters know how to say the right thing at the right time. When they say a prayer, how do they know what to say? Does it just come to them? Maybe I am just too complicated of a person. Why is life so hard to figure out...

::gasp:: No more Audioblogger?!

In November, audioblogger will no longer be offered on this site. Pidizzle. That stinks. Oh well. Had Taco Bell today for the first time in like 4 months. lol I got another email from the front desk saying that I had a package at the front desk. My aunt sent me some Halloween candy. lol Laura is napping on my bed and then driving to Western. Bought a new book today, The Kite Runner, we have to read it for class. It seems interesting from just reading the back, so maybe I'll read a lot of it tonight. **Edit I just read the entire book, it was soo good and depressing at the same time, you should all read it! lol** Since I'm here all by myself this weekend. I'm sorta in a The Notebook mood, maybe I'll watch that.......lol I just realized that I can watch a movie on my computer and have the UofM vs MSU game on mute on the tv. lol Multi-tasking at its best. My sister just informed me that she will be napping here for another hour. ok......I did find a Blockbuster though. I am not sure if my account from home works up here.....I guess I could call first.....So if anyone of you guys get bored or anything, just remember that I am probably too! lol

My toes are cold

Ok I can not stand this coldness. This whole let's leave the window open is not going to work. I guess I can just bundle up but in the winter, this will not fly. I'm all alone this weekend so if anyone is bored and needs some excitement feel free to talk to me! lol My roommate is gone until Monday and my friends are gone until Sunday. Lalala so I guess I could do homework. I really want to rent a movie. But I don't know where a movie rental place is....and buffalo wild wings, why is it no one wants to go with me? What is everyone here's problem? I thought everyone loved BWWs, or at least I do ;) Maybe if katie comes to visit she'll go with me, oh that reminds me I need stamps......maybe tomorrow. Oh pray for us, oh lordy. Tomorrow's the big day, there could be some riots lol. I mean I know we are not going to win but one can only hope. I can't believe my little sister's class is going to Ann Arbor for a field trip!!!! What a horrible place to go........especially tomorrow, I hope she is not wearing any MSU stuff, for her safety.......seriously. I can't feel my fingers........I wish the heaters would kick on, my desk is pushed right up against it. Only like 9 more weeks of the semester. I'm thinking of planning a new year's party or a christmas one......so watch for more on that........ :)

Chicago!!

I'm going to Chicago! Yippee! Well I'm going to the MSU vs. Northwestern game. My parents are like well let's just spend the weekend down there. My parent's friends are taking a train from E. Lansing and I am riding back with them. My grandparents and relatives from WI are going to the game too. Not sure if they are staying the weekend.....hmmm. Guess what I ate yesterday. A FRIED TWINKIE! Top that. Yea I will probably have a heat attack. lol But it tasted like heaven on a plate and we ate it on the floor. It was one of those special dinners and the tables were on the floor, like in Japan. lol What a night. Today I have History and ISS and I should probably do laundry, I'm running low. lol It is soooooo cold in my dorm room. Long story. lol My sister's class is taking a field trip to MSU tomorrow. So I am tagging along...lol Mrs. Cady thought she got rid of me....hey I still have her cell number....haha ;)

My one rebellious act of college...

Yea so I still need to tell my parents... :) But if that is that is the only crazy thing I do in college, then I think I will be fine! lol and hey it is not like it will be there forever like a tattoo. I think I'll tell them today, Dad first, he is more open minded. lol It is thunder storming again this morning, do you know how not cool it is to walk to a class during a thunder storm for more than one day? But today I have class at 8 and then not again until 4, so that leaves plenty of nap time, only I can't sleep on my side or stomach.....It actually didn't hurt that much. I watched videos on youtube that made it seem like it was painful. But don't take that the wrong way, I'm not getting anything else pierced ever. lol See I figure you can hide your navel, so it is like I know it is there but it is not really exposed to the world.

hahaha

Ha my blog says I should be in history! But our class was cancelled because the teacher didn't show up! :) But it stinks, I have another class in about an hour so I can't relax to much, and I have a big test in that class. pidizzle. I just remembered that my printer had a scanner on it, and unlike my scanner at home, it actually works! lol The one at home always said it was unplugged. OMG Did everyone hear about that Amish school shooting??? Geeze of all the people, they kill the Amish. One time I went to church camp (I think it was 5th grade) and we were making ice cream (which doesn't have anything to do with the story) and I was talking to this boy and because of my accent he thought I was Amish. He almost had all the kids there convinced I was Amish. Lordy....what a childhood! lol You know my professor didn't remember that she wanted me to talk to the class. I had even prepared some stuff.....geeze. k dokey......

You want me to do what??!!

OMGEE I went to my professor's office hours and she talked to me for like 2 hours! ...AND I told her about my city and school system and such, she wants me to do a lecture about my city TOMORROW. What does she want me to say? Half my friends are pregnant or have babies, a majority of the student body get drunk regularly and use drugs. There are gangs at my school that kill people. Our teachers don't teach adn so we are unprepared. Since we fail the MEAPs we are told from 9th grade on that we can't amount to much because we are just from Lincoln Park. No, not me, I'm getting out, I'm going to do something. I have always felt, since I was a kid, that God had something in store for me. Something special. The task is finding out what it is. I'm not going to end up in a cubicle job in a building with no windows. College is a new start for me. I'm starting over and I'm going to do it right this time. I found the cord to my digital camera! Finally! lol "Is this it? It's been here the whole time!" Shut up Meredith, I knew the cord was there......lol So I put some pictures of my 12x15 lovely living space in my flickr. lol Lovely small is more like it.

Well at least it shows that people acutally read this...

Ok my bad. I'm sorry, I'll rephrase my thoughts. I didn't mean that community colleges are bad or anything. I meant that in my city people don't try and just use them as a crutch. They barely pass high school knowing that they can just go to Wayne County CC or Henry Ford. They use it in a bad way. I'm not putting it down, my mom went to Henry Ford CC and lived at home. I was just saying how the druggies in my city use it, not like regular people who have more goals than just getting drunk everynight. So if I offended anyone, I'm sorry. Well at least it shows that people read this...

LP-6 Woodhaven-46

So we lost, no big deal. But MSU lost too, now that is a big deal. Not cool. It was weird not being the one going to the dance. Took my Grandma to Mexicantown for dinner. She hasn't been downtown in years. I think she had fun, she is really lonely now and we are trying to help her. ha The Benchwarmers was a funny movie, but with a nice ending. Those kind of movies make you go ahhh. Had dinner with Jenny, who has lost 70 pounds since Jan., and we got to catch up. It is nice to see that her life is going well. Almost all the alumni didn't really go and do anything. Yea you are at some community college, but the whole experience of college is living on your own and learning how to live. My friend goes to Colorado State. I think it is cool to go out of state. The out-of-state tax is ridiculous (I think I almost nailed the spelling...lol) My parents pushed me to stay in state, my cousin almost talked me into ASU, almost. I kinda like winter, thank you very much. lol Well I'm at State and I guess that is where I will stay. I just need to figure out what I want to do with my life. So many interests and I don't know what path to choose. I'll be back in E. Lansing tomorrow to start week 6 of this semester.....augh :)

New status

I'm going home this weekend, I'll still be online but it'll be on my old computer. Yay, go Rails!

This is a picture of my friend's tattoo. I thought it was neato, I have never seen a Detroit tattoo like this before. So anyways, we went to the pool hall to play some pool instead of bowling, you know spice it up a little. So guess who won??? ME! I have never played before. "Look I did a Lisa!" Yea but I won, and that is all that matters. Then I saw someone spill their coffee everywhere, I was just about to laugh, when I looked up and saw that it was my sister Laura. lol ha This is the first time I have seen her on campus besides times that we are supposed to meet up! lol

Have you ever had your earphones on all day and made a soundtrack for your life? I do. For example, if I am working down a busy street on my way to class "Unwritten" by Natasha Bettingfield is a good song. On the bus just looking out the window and thinking, any song from Rent is good, I prefer "What You Own", "Finale B" and "I'll Cover You, the reprise". Inspriational songs, like "All or Nothing" or "You Raise Me Up" is good thinking music. I think a lot now, about where I am and where I am going in my life. I suggest you all try it, it makes you happy and it is fun to match up music to parts of your life. Go ahead, try it!

hey hey we're the monkees

lol Notice Meredith in the doorway, it's the random 'walk-by' shot. lol Yet another rainy day here at MSU! lol But fall is fast approaching and it is SO BEAUTIFUL here! All different colors and the crisp air. We had a guest speaker in my writing class (the class with an anti-American for a teacher), it was supposed to be a Native American. I think she picked the whitest Native American in the nation. We asked what percent he was but he wouldn't say, but he has a French name and a long line of French in him. Hmm..Going home for the weekend! So excited!!! It's so relaxing at home. Homecoming should be fun, alumni get to march in the parade and play in the 3rd and 4th quarters of the game! Then on Saturday I'm helping Meredith get ready for the dance. It seems weird that it is not me getting all dolled up! lol We had a fire drill last night. I like jumped 6 feet, it scared me! :0 I was always the kid in elementary school, that even though we were told numerous times that we were having a drill, when the alarm went off I would jump and normally throw what ever was in my hands. Usually I would come back and not know where my pencil was! lol I was a jumpy child, I must say. Ahh I love just looking out the window at the rain knowing that I am inside and not outside! lol My next class isn't until 4 so hopefully it will be done raining. OMG Speaking of rain, who watched the game on Saturday??? I freakin cried!! I was soaked to the bone and we didn't even win. Since it was a night game, it was even colder at 11:30, since we were wet! lol

OH MY GODDD!!!

I am sooo wet. Not sure if any of yous watched the game well it downpoured TWICE. Each time lasted for about 40 minutes each. I am soaked to the bone. and you know what? We LOST in the last 2 minutes fo the game!!!! We were winning for the entire game until the fricken end!!! We were soooo close to winning!!! I feel bad and lousy. Now there are riots outside and sirens going off everywhere. I'm so cold and have to get up early tomorrow to go home for my Dad's birthday. The nice thing is that he doesn't know I'm coming home for his birthday! Awww....Well I need to go to bed, on the bright side, some guy asked if I wanted to go to his dorm and party. lol No one has ever asked me to do that before. lol But of course I said no, because that is not how I roll. You guys know how I roll, no drinkie, no druggies, no babies! lol Ms. Dever's famous quote.

I like posting lol....especially when I'm bored :)

Ok so I was bored and was like, why do I tape myself practicing and share to the world? Well ok. So I did. Now before you watch it or make any opinions, let me explain. I haven't played in 4 months. Before that I had only played for like 2 months. I didn't feel like tuning and/or tonguing because it is Saturday and I'm tired. It's just for funnsies (whoa ok so I don't even know how you would spell that...) I mess up near the end and couldn't stop laughing so then my fingers wouldn't work the way I wanted them to. lol So ok.





Ok you guys can go on with your normal lives.

Alone again....

Game day! The big game versus Notre Dame!!! Ahh my roommate went home again, its oh so nice to eat by myself and spend the day by myself day in and day out. Except when me and my homies Ashleigh and Chris make some fun of our own. We all have roommates that float i and out of our rooms. Our movie will be sooo funny. I mena spagettios are better than ramen noodles....Well I have never really had ramen noodles. When we get it done, hopefully soon not sure how long it takes to edit it, I'll post it here. My grandma called me and wanted me to buy her chocolate cheese, because her neighbors didn't believe her that they made it. lol Oh Grandma.... But she sent me $30 for a two dollar chunk of cheese. So maybe some dinner, by myself, is in order. lol So yea so www.splu.net is a great site!!! Check it out, you will love it! Watch the movie called Questions, you won't regret it. I cried I laughed so hard! lol So go my followers GO! :)

Is this not funny/true? lol

Hahaha. Nice way to start the day. I don't know about anyone else but I get the chills when the opening chords of Don't stop believein' is played on a piano! lol Awww I love Journey!

Best quote or at least a good one of last night

Scene: I was supposed to meet my friends to go bowling at 7:40, the phone rings then asking where I am I reply...


"I'm such a band geek, I was so engulfed in my new BrassWinds Woodwinds catalogue that I lost track of time!" lol Which I ordered a really cute shirt from.........lol

So I woke of my and roommate had I guess never came back......good thing I didn't wait up for her, like I had planed on!

:)

...By letting your aspirations be your life's musical score and your personality be your timbre, you can not fail at anything...

My mom and my dad wrote this for me for my graduation. It's a nice thing to live your life by. lol Timbre..........reminds me of my contra.

Ahh what a beautiful view...

This is the view from the Fort on Mackinac Island at night. The only people allowed up here is the scouts. Normally pictures aren't allowed but one of my boy scout friends must have taken it. I just wanted to share this moment with everyone. The island is magical at night.

Only 14 weeks left?! oui!

I can't take this writing class!!! The teacher is whack and is probably on crack!!! Well first she said I got one of the highest grades in all of her classes. Ok, so in high school I told by many teachers that my writing needed some improvement. Hmm...I don't think she actually grades it on grammar and such but how many quotes from her lecture you include. I include as much as I can! So if I have to butt kiss my way through just to get the grade, I will! lol The notes from that class are wild and all over the place because she is all over the place!

"america is no better than other countries, they haven't allowed a women presdient in 300 years!" Well women have the right to run, I'm sorry that they haven't.

(Me) "assimilated" (Her) "What? We must oppose that!! Do you even know what that means?" Yeah my ISS class is all about assimilation. We are supposed to just list interesting words from the reading and I said that word.

I hope I can find the lawsuit that was filed against her last year. She was supposed to be fired. We have to read a whole novel each week and write an essay. But she doesn't have a schedule so we don't know what books are used so we can't get a head start on them or since we don't have them, when we should go bu them.

We have an essay on gender stereotypes due tomorrow, but now we also have to have our entire rough draft done for the essay due next week. Dear lord I cant keep it all straight. She said we should have started our other essays earlier. Well no since TODAY you gave us the thesis to write about. So all last week we didn't even know what we were supposed to write. AUGH!!!!! I have math today too but no assignmetn is due today so I'm not reviewing, just going and taking notes. We have our first test on Wednesday, goodie. She spelled Mulan wrong........She has wore the same shoes, pants, and shirts everyday. Well she rotates the same two shirts. It has been 4 weeks and she has wore the same pants, black jeans rolled up so we can see her ugly shoes. ::cringes::

Do you know what time it is?

ok I'll tell you. It is exactly 4:32 AM. The insantity. In about 3 hours I should be arriving at Central for the football game and to stay the night with my girl Katie! lol Augh so tired! I got my alto back and it plays wonderfully. You can tell I haven't played in like four months but it came back rather quickly! lol Whenenver I call my dad I always have weird conversations. "So I have to write something that I haven't never written before, a letter telling my client that she should pay me $10,000. It will save her money in the long run." WTF? Um ok dad....He is an insurance broker so I guess that is what they do.....He also said something along the lines of "Spamalot is one of those musicals that you go because of the music and because you feel all giddy inside." LOL Well I forgot to mention that he is probbly a BIGGER Monty Python fan than any of yous out there. Seriously, you can quiz him. So he wants to go with us! lol Well my sister is coming soon and we are going to go get some coffee for obivous reasons and head off!

200th post :)

Ahh so I just got the call and my altos ready to be picked up!!! Can I get an Amen?! Anyhew.......so about Spamalot the lady said that anyone can come, the more the better. She'll email me the dates and price and such soon as it hopefully tomorrow. The tickets are only like 30 dollars which as I said is amazing for the Fisher Theater. So I think we should have a group of us go......what do you all think??? Oh and I bought a chunk of chocolate cheese which I will be cutting into tomorrow :)

Oh Thank Goodness!!!!!!!!!

I took my sax to Marshalls ( :( I know but theres no other music stores....) and they said it just needs some adjusting and it would cost me 40 dollars. Hopefully they can get it done today! They stay open until 9 so.....I have to take the bus but it's not a long trip. But I finally found a National City to cash my chekc that I have had for like a month now. lol Went to the ATM surprising how much you can spend in just 3 weeks! lol Well in my offense I only bought school supplies, books, and course packs. I use my Sparty Cash for everythign else. Dang college! lol But yea about Spamalot, my sister is going to ask and I'm getting the teacher's email address so I'll email them........I think it would be fun for a group of us.....

Attention Monty Python Lovers

So this one time Spamalot is coming to DETROIT!! During Christmas break! So I am going and the magical question is who is coming with me? Well my sister is going there on a field trip and is going to ask the teacher like if other people (who don't go to lphs) can come, which I think is yes. Because they just want numbers. So maybe they'll get a discount tickets......So would anyone be inerested???????? Get in touch with me if you are! Christmas break, so a lot of people will be home from college. So hopefully by tomorrow or the next day I'll have more info. I have wanted to see this show since it came out! Augh I can't wait!!! So just email or call me if you guys are interested!!!!!

Killing some time before class.

Ok so I have a crazy teacher! She is crazy beyond belief! lol I mean some kid took her to court last year and she was supposed to be fired! lol Well she's from India and thinks that everyone is out to get her. Every other word is no racial slurs, don't think you're superior to me because I'm foreign....etc. We're like we didn't do anything. So class starts officially at 8. She wants us there 5 minutes early and to be ready, that's understandable. But yesterday at 7:47 she comes in and of course we're talking amongst ourselves because we still have a little time. "New rule, no talking in my class ever!!!" omg lol Then she started class. When someone pointed out that it was only 7:47, she's like well 7:47 turns into 7:50, 7:50 turns into 7:55 and 7:55 turns into 8 and now we are behind schedule. So when kids walked in between 7:50 and 7:55 she yelled at them for being late. One kid forgot his book (that we didn't know we needed to bring, thank goodness I happen to have mine!) She's like well I could drop you from this course. He's like what? No. lol Then she stands in front of the class and reads off everyone's grades and the comments on their papers. Ex. John Doe you failed and don't know how to write, see me after class. I mean whoa! That's harsh. I think she shall be a topic in an upcoming episode...... :) I have her class everyday but Thursday at 8am! augh

Why yes, that would be my new sax, thanks for asking...

Wish it would play as well as it looks. Augh. But I don't have to take it to a repair shop to have it looked at until the end of the week :( But hopefully they will be able to look at it and fix it and I will be able to play wonderful music on it! lol But my friend said he'll look at it tomorrow. I miss Mr. Dangerfield and his amazing skills. These last couple of days have made me miss LPHS alittle. Just like the teachers and such. It's weird I feel like I have so much work to do and read but in realty I really only have a assignment in Hsitory due on Thursdays, an essay for Writing due on Tuesdays, and a math assignment due every other Wednesday. So really I only have like two assignments a week as opposed to the 6 in high school. Maybe because I know that these are worth more. But I got my first essays back today. On the first I got 48 out of 50 :) on the second one I got 20 out of 50...oops Well she said that I changed the name of the title on purpose. What?! Well I barely understood that essay so I'm not worried because if I got a good grade on one then I know I can do it. Tomorrow I get my history paper back and today I should get my math back. I've fallen asleep twice in just the last 2 hours reading Herodotus and his dumb Histories. I feel like crap adn its rainy and cold. Yes it's like 50 degrees!! All of a sudden it drops like 30 degrees over night. So I put on loud upbeat music and ran around the room and did some jumping jacks! lol Now I feel alittle better and still 4 hours til my class. But all I can think about is playing and I can't until it gets fixed!!!!!! oui

Just Kidding! ;)

My sister said we're still going........oui! lol I better get my blaket and hot coffee. Go State! Beat those Eagles lol I think everyone has beaten the Eastern Eagles......LOL Oh well so I guess I'm going

Its cold and rainy

Augh I might not go to the game because its raining and a tad bit cold. I mean I have enough homework to keep me busy today! lol My head hurts. I want to go back to bed. lol Today is the first day that I have slept in since getting to college. It felt good but I'm still tired. Funny movie on Comedy Central right now, some Rodney Dangerfield movie. I can't even think straight because my head hurts so bad :( Ok as I type this it has just started downpouring. I'm not going now lol So now I'll be around today. lol

So I can't bowl.....

Ha So I can't bowl, lol. I mean I'm a band kid, thats my excuse and I'm sticking to it. Then we went to the library. Now our library is pretty sweet we have 'compact shelving'. Shelves that MOVE! Its said that they have sensors so that if someone steps in between them, they'll stop and not crush them. So of course we had to try it. lol It does stop. lol They probably thought we were drunk or something, because we kept riding the elevators (because we were lost...) and kept trying to stop giggling. lol But since I had a 8 am class this morning I had to come back and go to bed.

Augh I am not going skating today, I backed out again. I wonder what keeps holding me back? I've been trying for three years to get back on the ice. Maybe Sunday, but I would rather go the music store anyways. lol I'm hungry, maybe I'll walk to I-Hop....lol

Paper=finished!

I just realized the wrote 'sunning' instead of sunny! lol Sunning isn't even a word! duh....So writing history papers is much different from regular papers. You have to cite EVERYTHING! But I put a lot more effort and work into this weeks, so hopefully the teacher sees an improvement. Next I have to start on my essay about Superman.....lol But heres my weekend forcast:

Tomorrow: class (shoot me now) 8-8:50, going ice skating, going to Marshall's to get some stuff for my sax! :), Evertte Football game (I'm like the asst. coach for the color guard, right now, but I think next year I might help with the woodwinds or marching or something.

Saturday: Game Day!, Floor breakfast before the game, Hanging out with all of my Eastern friends! lol

Sunday: getting my sax, enough said, I will be playing and oogling it all day. lol That sounds wrong. lol







Adios mi amigos

Right about now the funk's your brother....?!

It's always so sunning in my room! lol Almost the end of the week. Tomorrow I don't have a 8am class! Thank the lord! Then Friday only one class. I'm getting my sax on Sunday, maybe I'll record me playing my song! lol I LOVED the solo that I had its called: Solo de L'Arlesienne from the opera L'Arlesienne. Try pronuncationing that song name for the judges! lol I was like this song...one of the only operas with a sax part. Pretty neato and a great song! I have it on my i-pod.....lol

Math Quiz in t-minus 2 hours......but I think I'll do fairly well, most of it is just review and stuff I did in 9th and 10th grade. So I'd be an idiot not to do well. But now I've probably jinx myself and I'll fail! lol But you can drop your two lowest grades. I just want to go and get it over with! lol Then a paper for history which I am baffled by and another essay for my writing class. The topic? Well thanks for asking......Why is Superman so Darned American and how he compares to a South Asian woman facing racism. I know, right. I'm glad I have all weekend for this one...because you know Superman is an illegal immigrant and alien. Betcha didn't know that. Booya. lol Ok I think I'm done.

:) :) :)

I BOUGHT AN ALTO SAX TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes it's a student line, but I'm planning on getting a Selmer Star mouthpiece, or whatever it's called. But the lady said that her son only used it for like 3 lessons and haven't touched it since. So it is like new! :) How great is that????? and DCI Championships is on!!! What a day!!!!! :) Tomorrow I have a math test :( pooey But I have an alto, but its at home so hopefully my oh so loving family will drive it to me........ :)

WRAC 150 can suck it!

I hate this book and class!!! :( I have it everyday but Thursday at 8am!!!! At least its only 50 minutes......

So State won! f**k potatoes! the student section comes up with oh so clean cheers! lol Did anyone watch the game? My dad said that at the end as people are filing out you can see me!!! I was on national television!!! Yippee......But there are like 0% of state fans out there so nonoe probably saw me lol

I just got done reading an entire book (see picture lol) and writing two papers on it. Is English many languages? Who cares?!?! If I have to type languages another time, I'm going to shoot the computer but only with something soft because I wouldn't want to hurt my computer, lol.

P.s.

ha I made a new voicemail greeting, I know right, I finally changed it! lol I think its quite a hoot! PBS was my inspiration for this one.......

Beautiful day for FOOTBALL!!!!!

Corner Blitz 2006!!!! Best Student Section in the nation!......and I'm in it! :) I heart MSU football!

I am going to start working out soon. I'm getting a little tubby and I live REALLY close to all of the great places such as Grand River (street full of places to eat), Dairy Store (with FAB ice cream!), two food courts......the list goes on and on......So I know that I will eat when I get bored! lol My goal is (this might sound dumb but..) I have always wanted to pierce my belly button! lol I just like the way it looks and it's not something drastic and can be covered up (well it probably will be all the time lol) So maybe if I get me some abs I'll go do that! lol But I mean the walking should be enough, I get so tired from walking. I take the bus to only one class just because there is no way I can get there by walking.

OOOOOOOOO I'm going to Central for the night in like two weeks! Yay I get to see Katie! Should be uber fun! lol It's sorta cold outside but I'm not sure if we are allowed to wear hoodies......because the point of Corner BLitz is that we all wear matching shirts with the same color......hmmm But it'll probably warm up by noonish....hopefully! lol :)
