Texas State Fair

Well......yesterday the Hill College Jazz Band, Chorale, and Vocal Ensemble performed at the State Fair. it was pretty fun. Tiffany ended up singing the National Anthem, which was probably good since we kinda sucked at it as a group....lol. she was really good though. A good thing was that Ms. Erickson put most of the piano accompaniment on a floppy disk which played in the electric keyboard, so i just hadda pretend like i was playing except for 1 song.....hehehe. hey! even SHE said they were hard!!! gimme a break! ahem...anyways, after the concert i stayed at the fair with some of my friends and we rode the rides and ate turkey legs and plenty of fried stuff....lol after all, the State Fair is known for frying practically EVERTHING. lol i ate my traditional: fried oreos. mmmmm the best. i look forward to the fair every year just for the fried oreos. lol i wanted to try the fried snickers and the new one: fried coke (believe it or not. the saying "you can fry anything" is apparently true. lol) but i didn't have enough money, and i didn't wanna make myself sick. :P so we rode tons of fun rides. ok, not tons cuz ticket are really expensive, although the food was more expensive than the rides! which doesn't make any sense at ALL to me, but oh well. most of the rides were only 5 tickets, but a turkey leg cost 14!!!! sheesh! that's almost 10$ just for a stupid turkey leg!!! i should've gone for the corn dog...lol. oh, but i finally found someone who is more chicken than me: Gabe!!!! lol i was like wow, cuz he doesn't seem like the kind of guy to be really scared of roller coasters ya know? and yet i rode more than he did! hehe.

anyways, all our music classes were canceled today so i only had English Lit. mwahahahaha!!!!! of course, i could've slept MUCH longer if i hadn't forgotten that we didn't have classes and got up at 6:30 anyways....lol. man, and Enya's new Christmas cd was released at Target yesterday, and I couldn't even get it!!! *sniff sniff*. did i already mention that? lol i don't remember. oh well, if i have forgive me. i'm just a little upset.

well, i'm gonna try and be a little more consistent with my posts, just to let ya know. mainly Katherine, Emily, and Jonathan since y'all are the only ones that really read it anyways.....lol. *sigh* ttyl,

My Ramblings About Nothing Really Important

Sooooooo, i have nothing really to write about, since my life right now is basically: school....practice instruments....school....pratice instruments....lol

so, last tuesday was the release date for Celtic Woman's Christmas Celebrations cd. and i was soooooooo excited about it that i WALKED all the way to wal-mart from my dorm just to get it. i arrive at wal-mart slightly hot and sweaty, walk back to the electronic section, AND.....................................................they don't have it. i was SO mad at wal-mart. but i did get a frapuccino from Starbucks on the way back to campus. i tried their new Maple Frapuccino. it was REALLY good....tasted like syrup. :D of course, it's not as good as their Pumpkin Spice, which is still my all-time favorite.

Anyways, i'm also teaching the freshmen music majors tonight. :D it should be fun. it makes me feel smart. lol but most of them are having trouble understanding most of the concepts, so i agreed to help them tonight with whatever they need. oh, also, i went to the apartments Sunday evening where a bunch of them stay to watch the football game with them. i don't really get into football, but they're entertaining enough just by themselves, that i had a pretty good time. lol grant it, some of them are kinda crazy sometimes, but oh well.

hmmmmmmm, what else......oh, yeah! so last night my roommate and i were talking, and she asks me: "is your hair naturally curly?" and i said: "yeah...." and she was like: "have u ever straightened it before?" and i was like: "no, not really......" lol so she asks me if she can straighten it, just to see what it would look like straight. so i let her. i looked sooooooo weird! i guess cuz i'm not used to seeing myself with straight, non-frizzy hair. lol ;) but it was pretty cool. it was SUPER LONG. it was awesome. but i think i'll keep my curly hair.

so besides that, that's basically all that's going on worth telling right now...so later gaters!!!
