Hi there!
So I did go to prom, and I had a great time. I loved my dress, I loved my date, and it was fun. Dinner at Beni Hana's was delicious and fun, excellant choice Sam! Sadly we did not get a navigator, we got a towncar, but everyone fit and managed to behave like adults.
On May 5th, 6th, and 7th, was the musical. It went pretty well, I made mistakes on each perfermance, but none that were horrible. I was so mad at myself, Saturday would have been perfect if it hadn't been for me screwing up a song that I've had memorized forever...I don't even know how it happened, but oh well its over. Cast parties were fun, Stacey's was the best. I think it was very stupid to have the Saturday night party at Matt's, alcohol has no place at a choir party. Everyone is supposed to feel welcome and have a good time, which is very hard if you don't drink. Not to mention half the people there were his friends not from choir...but oh well thats over too.
I accepted my admission to Chicago, so I am officially going there in September. Hopefully I'll like it since its costing my family practically half our income, which I supposedly have to pay back to them after I graduate. I have every intention of doing so, but it just seems like so much... I'm also not so sure I want to even be there after reading everyones facebook and the 09 lj community. Everyone seems so much smarter then me, and it seems like very few have similar backrounds. Everyone seems to be some sort of prodigy, 12 years of every instrument under the sun, or be fluent in six languages or one girl wrote that she applied as a junior. How the f do you get enough college credit by this time to apply as an f-ing junior?? Its ridiculous. And then theres me... with two years of piano (which is all forgotten), two years of Spanish (also forgotten) and I will be a freshmen, and will probably not even place out of any courses. I think I am supposed to be the inspiration for the real smart kids so whenever they are feeling inadequate about their six languages they can also think "at least I'm not like Jessica." Someone has to finish last in the class.
Summer so far has been pretty fun. My open house was the 18th, and I got more money then I thought I would, which is always nice. I have been spending most of my time with Eric, I love spending time with him. He bought me a ring and I absolutely love it, its so pretty. He is the best boyfriend ever. Today he came over with medicine because my stomach was hurting and all our painkillers were expired, so we watched a movie and played with Polly Pockets.
The Choir trip to New York was ok. It really sucked that we had no time to ourselves, we were doing something in a different part of New York practically every hour, which with walking time means we got like 15 minutes to do something before we had to move on. It was really pretty ridiculous. I loved Chinatown though, and the illegal purse guys. If I ever go back to New York I will come home with a truckload of cheap illegal purses, sunglasses, and watches. Singing in Carnegie Hall was actually not that exciting, it was no bigger or nicer then Whiting. Our audience didn't even cover the ground floor, and it was made up of parents and people from old folks homes which is apparently the only place the could sell tickets, so at the end of our performance we only got half of a standing ovation because the other half of the audience was to old and decrepid to stand up. Oh the memories. I did enjoy seeing everyone from choir though. I got to know Liz and Sarah much better, and we had so much fun! Liz we should hang out, I want to meet your boyfriend "Matt" lol.
Other then that, I have been mostly hanging out with Kristin and Josh, and whoever else is free, like Ashley and her hott manfriend, Ricky and Danielle, Nick and Miranda?? (ha just kidding). We went to see the Bay City fireworks on the third, and although we didn't get to see any fireworks (we were behind a tree) we did have fun taking clothes off and watching Tim scuttle down the side of the expressway. But I think thats about it, so I hope your happy Erin, I updated for you!
