Lost in my Own Life

*Random thought of the Day: This picture is me. Or so it will be as this semester starts. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Ok. The End.*
Um. Ok. Back in School. New Semester. Last Semester. New Roommates. The busiest semester ever-No I really mean it this time. New classes-mostly. New changes. New adjustments. The list could go on but has no reason to. So, I predicted and planned that I would be busy this semester. Problem is-it all hit me today, due to me always looking the the big picture first, just HOW busy I will be. Let me give you a rundown. And for those of you who have heard this rundown-forgive me. First of all, my music classes suddenly became more hardcore. Must be a last level thing. Not neccisarily the work, but the workload. By the end of the semester, I will have written an arrangement for theory, and theme and variations for piano, and prepared and conducted a part of a choir song for my Elements of Conducting class. Among that, I will have somehow managed to also keep with all the other assignments, quizzes, and tests in those classes. I will also have hopefully managed to get just enough practice time in for voice lessons. Oh and did I mention-I now have to take some time outside of class to practice for my piano class? I'm not yelling. Oh I'm also taking English Literature which just so happens to be my intensive writing course, so I'll be putting some focus and work into that. At least it's my last general! Not to also mention, I'm still auditioning for the spring musical "The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee" next week. I know I know what you all are thinking-I'm Extremely Crazy!! Don't judge me. Ok, so I really don't know how the play auditions will turn out. I may get a small part and decide its not worth my time-I really don't mean to sound selfish, but if i'm in this show, I want to be IN it. Nonetheless, whether I'm in it or not, I'll be busy. It's really going to be intesting. At least for now-I will have my BYU Idaho and Utah State audition DVDs sent of by about the end of next week so then all I have to worry about is getting into the music programs-mainly BYU because that's where I want to go the most. I also do need to prepare for my NAU audition which will hopefully be taking place in February-thats still up in the air too. So, here I go with a deep breath. My best friend Emily said that if I can see myself handling things and doing well and not stressing too much, then I can do it! "If you can conceive it, you can achieve it!" Thanks Ema(: That is all.

Ok, that's not all. I had an extremely AWESOME choir trip last weekend when I got back to Thatcher! We had the amazing opportunity to sing at the AMEA Convention.(Arizona Music Educators Association). First we had a public performance at a Mesa Stake Center on Fri, the 8th. Then we had sang in this amazing methodist church on Saturday morning! See pictures!
Me and the BEAUTIFUL Celeste!(:

Taylor and Dakota found matching shirts that said "FREE HUGS" and went around giving everyone in choir well, free hugs of course! What a couple of funnies(:

We fit like 8 people in Tiffany's car to go get frozen yogurt(: Here's Me, Shauna, Aaron and Mitch

Me and my wonderful roommies at the hotel! Shauna, Audra and Celeste

Oh and this last pic is not from my choir trip obviously-Dad and Anne came for a visit New Year's Weekend! I love them!
Well-I hope you all are having a wonderful week and the weekend is about to start! Yay! TTFN!
