RECITAL!!!

my recital is slated for april 7, 2007 at 5pm in harper hall, right here at lawrence university. sadly, though i will not be performing with elise, my lovely cello friend, but with keegan white.... he plays saxophone and was head rla in plantz when i was an rla... he's a cool kid and i'm excited to perform with him. :D although it would have been way sweet to perform the mark summer things on the same concert. but alls well that ends well... and at least i got the date i really wanted. :D yay for not completely stressing out for third term. i hope.

things are okay this tenth week. i do have a lot of stuff going on, but i feel pretty confident about getting everything done. just one paper left to do and my listening for lessons.... of course.... siiiiigh.... next term... i'm just gonna get it all done like the first two weeks... damn!!!! OH!! and i got an a on my paper for borrowed music in movies!!!! YAY!!!! i am SO relieved.... i really needed an a.... so perhaps i can still manage an a in this class... if i do well on my final. :D i hope, i hope......

well, work time is quickly approaching... siiiiiigh... but at least our performance is this thursday... :) exciting exciting... we are pretty prepared... i think... i guess....

peace and loves to all.... i hope final times are treating you all well.... even though most of you have a couple more weeks of class (hahaha!!)... but i know how stressful this time prolly is for most of you....

bye!

thankful.

welcome to my cheesy thanksgiving day post.... enjoy...

i am thankful for: pretty much everything in my life. i have shelter, food, family, friends, pets, a cute boy living in my house, a nice college to go to, books to read and movies to watch, i have a good life. i know i never say thank you enough to pretty much everyone in my life. just like i never say i love you enough, either.... but i would just like to say thank you and i love you. to everyone in my life.

thank you. :D

you know that he cries.

over the bridge, under the water
time waits for nothing
nothing at all

i go home tomorrow, for which i'm so thankful... (prolly more thanks to come... we'll see how ambitious i feel later...)

why do i have such a thing about heidi being pretty much better than me in all respects and why do all the guys i like have to be in love with her?!?!?!?!? seriously. i mean... can't there just be one who is just my friend and doesn't ditch me for her... god, why am i still a 6th grade girl?!? i thought i would be over this by now... ugh!

i don't want to fake it
i just want to make it

love you madly: cake
embraceable you: jane monheit
pennies from heaven: louis prima
the asshole song: jude

it's been that kind of week. thank goodness my paper is done. :D

later, yall....

getting close.

i'm so close to being done with this term... i can taste it. :D somehow just being in another term, with other classes and the like sounds like heaven. which is sorta sad because all of my classes this term are actually pretty good. whatever... you know...

stupid glow people... why the fuck aren't you taking those assholes to j-board?!?! or at least get a lawyer... it was a freaking hate crime... ugh! it's just so stupid. the whole deal. they only win if you don't do anything. dumbasses.

today and tomorrow my plan is to write a whole first draft of my paper for borrowed music in movies. :D then i'll have a whole weekend (plus two days, thanks ms. mcquinn) to edit and perhaps relax. :D and then since our project isn't due til the week after thankgiving i can kinda relax about that... and thus our paper isn't for another week after that... SWEEEEEET...

but now i think it is time for tea.... or coffee...

bye bye!

intolerance right here on campus.

on monday morning of this week... the day before the elections, a group called 'viking conservatives' posted about a million posters around campus stating things like 'vote yes' (which is fine..) but other very offensive things like legalizing homosexual marriages would lead to 'pedophilia, beastiality and sex with trees.' Not to mention that they posted these things all over the campus, but they flooded the GLOW (gay, lesbian, other, whatever) house with them. they specifically targeted this house and plastered it with truly offensive, homophobic comments.

needless to say, i was pissed off here on campus even before the election took place and the people of wisconsin 'spoke'. i'm all for these people to have their opinions, even though i think they are incredibly illogical and asinine, and it is important that people should have an avenue for voicing their opinions--- BUT that shouldn't mean that you can personally attack a specific group and post blatantly hurtful things (especially on a house that is geared toward the thing that you take issue with).

i was so sad to hear that there are people on this campus who could be that insensitive and that hurtful. but more importantly they are pretty much refusing to apologize and the administration is doing mostly nothing. i feel like that is even sadder. why would or should these people be allowed to harass and post hateful things? i can guarantee that if it said 'black people are monkeys' (or other such equal bullshit) that they would face severe punishment, if not expulsion from lawrence.

the election made me very, very sad. and very, very angry. mostly because we shouldn't have even voted on this stupid amendment. i don't understand why we would vote on something that people already don't have the right to do. same-sex couple have NEVER been able to marry in wisconsin- so what is the point of further legislating something that people already don't have the right to. not to mention that we now are writing blatant discrimination into the state constitution of wisconsin. it is all so horrible.

the only positive thing i can see is that this may be our generations issue. the issue like the women's lib or civil rights or protest of vietnam, that unites us. that brings us out of our usually apathetic lives and DO something. fight against hate and intolerance. finally do something about the horrible things that are going on around us.

it's about time.

hope is out there... i think... if we take the responsibility of citizenship in our own hands.
