much ado about...a lot of things.

so....i know i haven't posted in awhile. sorry everybody!!! i always i'm gonna do better and post more often, then i get busy or i just forget....O:-) so, where to start? well, only this week and next week and then i'm OUT OF SCHOOL!!!!! i'm graduating from Hill on May 10, with my Associate's in music. yipee!!!! it makes me feel all smart and important. :p *gasp* i have to tell everyone my *scaaaaaaaaary story* about: *intense music* ATILLA THE MOTH!!!! *dum dum dum* yes, it's very scary. you might want to skip this part if you are easily frightened, have a weak stomach, are pregnant, nursing, have heart problems, or a general fear of bugs:

soooooo....last night some friends and i went to Starbucks, like we do every week. :p nothing unusual there. we went to our normal table outside on the porch area. well, when it started getting dark, they turned on their outside lights. we're all watching a video on Patrick's laptop when Jesse goes "oh my God...." and we all turn and look, and THERE HE IS!!!!! that freakin' moth was seriously as big as my hand. he could've passed as a bat. i'm serious. he was GINORMOUS!!!!!!! it was so scary, not only cuz he was like Mothzilla or something, but i'm scared to DEATH of bugs anyways. so Melissa, Jesse, and I all get up and run to the farthest corner of the porch to escape, and i grab a chair for protection just in case. Patrick just sat there laughing at us...me with a chair over my head and the other two hiding behind me. :p finally, he flew away never to return.......or so we thought. *more intense music* it was prolly 15 minutes later or so when we were being attacked by Atilla's little minions (the small moths) that we decided it would be more peaceful back at the band hall. so we get up to throw our stuff away, when HE returns.......we all (minus Patrick) start screaming and run and throw our stuff in the trash (at least i think....i didn't stop to see if it made it in or not. lol) and we ran in the car and didn't calm down until we were back inthe nice safe moth-free band hall. so that's my scary story about Atilla the Moth. :p we even drew a picture of him on the chalk board, with laser eyes, a tommy gun, claws, and a "Stephanie sensor." hehehe

let's see, what else....well next month my grandmother and my uncle are taking me on a cruise to Jamaica for my graduation. oh, yeahhhhhh.......i'm sooooo excited!!!! i love the ocean, so i'm really looking forward to it. :D then the next month (June) i'm leaving with a group from Tarleton (where i'm transferring to next semester) to study music in ITALY for like 3 weeks. GAAAAAAHHHHH!!!! i'm REALLY excited about that...my first time "abroad." of course, it's not IRELAND, but it'll do for now. besides, i don't wanna go to Ireland until i learn more Gaelic. oh, yes. i'm learning Gaelic now. have i mentioned that? prolly not since i just started a few weeks ago and my last post is pretty old. O:-D but i found this awesome site that teaches you Irish Gaelic for free, so i'm on like lesson 4. lol but i can say, "dia duit!" ("hello!") and "Ta me gairid" (i am short. hahaha). minus the accents.

hmmmm....let's see, let's see....oh yes. i'm getting a copy of Tolkien's new book, "The Children of Hurin." WOOT!!! however, it was aparently more popular than they expected, so they ran out and i hafta wait a little longer to get it. >:( dumb amazon. i mean, it's TOLKIEN!!! of COURSE it'll be popular!!!! dummy-heads. and when my dad bought it, he also found an Elvish-Sindarin text book! yes, an actual textbook that teaches you Elvish. mwahahahaha!!!! that'll hopefully be here sooner. the guy that wrote it (David Salo) is the same guy that did the Elvish for the movie btw. ;)

well, since i'm down to the last 2 weeks, i'm in "finals" mode. :/ it's not that bad though. i had sightsinging final today, which was pretty easy. then i have keyboard final, which is just finishing my scales for her so that's a piece of cake. then there's dictation final, which i'm not too worried about cuz i usually do pretty good in that. then our music theory final is next week, which is the one i actually hafta study for. :p and my computer final is open book, so it's really easy too. lol

i guess that's it. oh, i do now own a special limited-edition Enya cd clock, which i might have mentioned, but now i also own a LOTR:FOTR soundtrack, *signed by lady Eithne herself*. yesssss. it's niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice. ;)

so long for now. i'm hungry. lol
