5/1 Welcome to May, everyone... There's only two weeks of school left now... one week of class and one week of exams. There's really not too much to report right now, except that I did get my final grade for French Diction... A! Woo-hoo! But that's it... so... bye!
5/4 Let's all take a guess whose birthday it is today.... Good job! haha... oh and before I get away from my daily *N Sync blurb... don't forget to watch him tonight on Who Wants to be a Millionaire... ok... enough about *N Sync. Well, I did my voice jury yesterday and it went ok, I guess. I had a brain "fart" as it were during the second song, and I ended up making up my own fun version of French for four measures, but I eventually got back on. So, I don't know what that means about my grade in the long run... but we'll see. As to the rest of everything going on in my life... I don't know... it's just a lot of stuff to try to accomplish... I'll pull through... but that's really about it from here... I've got to go to class! =)
5/9 How is it the ninth already? yikes... Well let's see... a quick recap of the last few days.... Well, I spent the weekend in Plano... Sara and I went to the PESH jazz choir show on Friday and had the dinner and everything. The show was awesome. It's really quite impressive, looking back on it. I'm beginning to sort of start to understand the difference of perception between adults and not-quite-adults. It's weird. Like, at the end of Friday's show, during Stroud's speech or whatever, he said something about having to stop and remember every now and then that the performers are "just babies". A year ago, I would've been like "Baby? Excuse me? I don't think so!" But now I'm more inclined to agree with him. It's so weird becoming one of those people who "looks back" at high school. yikes. It's like when I was fourteen and I wanted to go out with my driving friends and my parents were not necessarily pushing me out the door... and my logic was "Mom and Dad, I'm fourteen." and their logic was "Terri Lee, you're fourteen." Funny how that works. [sigh] I don't think you're supposed to feel like a geezer when you're eighteen. Call me crazy. But then, as I write this, and I think about the people who will probably read this (Dad, Wayne, etc) it occurs to me that they're going to be like "are you saying that a year ago you were a baby, and now you're not? right... whatever, Terri Lee..." haha... oh well. So at what point are you no longer a baby? I'm thinking never. Even when you're like 70, which I'm thinking we can pretty much all agree is not typical "baby" age... even then, there's going to be someone who thinks you're a baby, compared to them. The unfortunate thing is that at that point, it's probably your 45 year old kid who thinks you're a baby and doesn't want you living by yourself anymore or whatever. yikes... when did I decide to be philosophical? Can I change the subject now? ok, I think I will...
Anyway... So I went to the show Friday (yea!) and I got my hair cut Saturday (yea!) after I moved another carload of stuff home from Denton. Then I went to Dad's concert with PCC, which was highly enjoyable. Might I also add that my nephews were very well behaved... Michael in particular seems genuinely interested in the music, which is pretty cool, considering the jerk in front of me was reading some auto magazine, occasionaly snickering audibly and nudging his wife/girlfriend/sister or whatever... I just wanted to drag him to the lobby myself. I was so frustrated by him. But anyway... so after the concert I caught the last 3 songs or so of the jazz choir show and then went out with friends afterward. I got to see Timmy again finally, yea! I missed him! [pouting lip here] So that was good, to see him again. =) Let's see... So Sunday I played hookie from church, which come to think of it, I think that was a first, like, ever... To be in Plano on Sunday morning and not go to church... I don't think I had ever done that before. yikes. I hadn't thought of that until just now. Um, so anyway... Sunday night there was a kids program at Wayne and Ri's church, titled "Fun in the Son". Let me just say, how cute is that? OK... anyway, the whole thing was prefaced by a performance by the lovely and talented preschool choir, under the direction of the equally lovely and talented Maria Worley. I just thought the whole thing was great. My two little nephews were dressed alike (which I think is just so cute!) and they were adorable. They were also easily two of the most well-behaved youngins up there. I was so proud. This was also the debut of Michael's original composition "The Morning Song" which is of course, destined for greatness, as are most songs entirely composed by four-year-olds. =) My brother had the great distinction of being the lone adult in the "Fun in the Son" presentation, as "Beamer", an enlightening sailor-type guy with an inexplicable Aussie accent... which, although inexplicable, was quite good. I particularly enjoyed the pronunciation of "schedule" as (sh)edule, rather than the more common (sk)edule. All in all, it was a lovely weekend. Is this entry long enough for you yet? Oh, it's not? ok... Well, Monday I did very little but travel back to Denton and read lots of Government, in preparation for tomorrow's exam. This morning, I had my MITHI exam, and I think I did well, but let me just say that I HATE THAT CLASS AND I AM JUST SO GLAD IT'S OVER!!!!!!! [whew] ok. Well, I'm done updating now.
5/11 Well hello all! Writing this time from Plano, where I am now residing for the summer... I officially turned in my key to Crumley today, so effective tomorrow at about 4, I'm off for the summer... I still have my Physics exam and my Aural Skilz exam (it was postponed) to get through tomorrow... That's really about all the news I have right now, considering that the main people that I know of that read this regularly now see me regularly... (Hi Dad and Wayne!) and the other person that I think might read this from time to time is nearby too and knows how to use a phone... (Hi Tim!) Oh, ps, Timmy... I found 2 Supersavers for Cinemark in my room today and they expire sometime in June... I forget whether it's the first of June or the end... but we should go see a movie! OK, now that I've said that.... uhhhhhh.... I really don't have much else to say... except that I'm happy to be home and I'm enjoying cleaning and sort of organizing my room and sort of redecorating it and getting it like I like it.... now I just need to find frames to fit my Power Pack poster and my Lance poster.... hmmmm.... ok, that's all! bye!
5/20 So, I never found a frame for my Power Pack poster, but I did hunt down a frame in Mom's closet that was large enough to fit Lance! haha So Lance currently resides on my wall, as does the Power Pack Poster, but the Power Pack has to depend on push pins. Other major changes include the relocation of the computer from the den/office where it was this time last year, to my desk in my room. So, that's nice.... plus, I've tried to keep as much of my college storage space in use... such as my black stacking crate things.... There really aren't a lot of other major changes, I suppose, but the whole room is cleaner and more live-in-able.... I need more space for my CD's though.... I've officially over-run my designated shelf space, with my current total of 161 CD's.... So I'm going to head to The Container Store sometime and see what there is in this world in the way of wall-mounted CD storage... Other news from the past week and a half or so.... well, there's not much to report really. I was able to check my grades online today, so after I update this section, the Academic section should reflect my final grades... but that's pretty much all I can think of to say right now.... so.... I'm going to sign off...
5/25 Funny how much can change in just a few days, eh? Well, for those of you that may have missed this piece of news... I'm voluntarily missing the NSync concert... ok, calm down... I'm ok... No, really, I'm fine. OK, here's the deal. Sunday, when I went to church, Dave Collett, our music minister, approached me and asked me if I might be interested in joining the New Horizon Choir on their tour next week... I was totally pumped to go, especially because they're going to Lexington, Kentucky, my hometown, and the trip would be free to me because of my chaperone status... it wasn't until Dad reminded me that I had NSync tickets during the trip that I was torn. So, naturally, I turned Dave down as soon as Dad reminded me about the tickets.... But, on the drive home I got to thinking in terms of priorities, role-modeling, spiritual journey, etc etc etc and decided that perhaps NSync need not be my top priority right now. So... right now I'm still looking for a buyer for my tickets, but I have a lead... some girl named Monique... but that's neither here nor there. So, anyway... this week I've mostly been practicing with New Horizon for the tour, which leaves bright and early Saturday morning... that's really pretty much all the news I have right now. So, I reckon I'll update again another time, although I don't know that I'd expect anything until post-choir tour... oh, and GO STARS! ok, that's it.
