Man of the hour: BEN HARPER

Just because no one should die without listening to Ben Harper, listen to his album "Burn to Shine." Heckshya

So kids, I am about to get the rest that I haven't gotten all week. I'm so excited...sleep. Who knew that sleep was such an exciting thing? I am not really sure of my name at the moment, or how I am holding my eyes open.

Goal for the upcoming week: get more than five hours of sleep total. Heckshyeah!

Oh, by the way. Dr. Penny Kemler is my hero! I ( Read more... )

Amazing, simply amazing. One night I'm throwing music across the practice room, and the next I'm tearing it up (not literally of course! I mean that I was playing well).

I already miss you guys soooo much. It is a little easier now, knowing that most everyone is gone and I only have a few more goodbyes to say (kendyl, you're going to have to kick me out of the car when we get to the airport tomorrow...you'll have to MAKE me go home). I just said goodbye to Reuben and Jen...I felt like treating myself to Wendy's ( Read more... )

I am not even sure why this break seems so foreboding...I know I will be back in about a month and a week to pick up where I left off with all you ( Read more... )

I haven't written in this thing in how long? Britt just reminded me that I have a LiveJournal when we were studying for our music theory final (...or should I say "when we were supposed to be studying"). Although Facebook rocks my world, I still want my friends that do livejournal to know what is going on with me. I don't have a computer at home ( Read more... )

Okay, this is it. I am finally going to stop feeling sorry for myself and my busy schedule and do something about it. Every one is incredibly busy. Every one feels like there should be more than 24 hours in the day. Every one is tired. Most every one has bags under their eyes. I am going to stop complaining. Go Jesus!

running around....around and around in practicing circles....around and around....Ms. Brittany, are you ready for our audition?
