OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMYGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOd
check it out: I've wanted one for so long and now they have it!!
AH I JUST DIED. I had originally asked my relatives to get me a Gryffindor hoodie. Forget that. And actually, it's the same price, and I'd rather have the Hufflepuff one.
As I usually do, this post is late. This event happened on August 15th. YES! It was Musicfest, and it was a huge success. I was there from 1:30 to around 3:30, I only saw two bands preform and both were amazing.
Before JC Satellite went on I wandered around and talked to a few vendors. One was Payton Woodcraft, she was a very nice woman who makes jewelry out of recycled leather and wood. I also spoke to some people working at the
Cambridge Sound Studio's table, they are the people that organized all of the bands.
From what I could tell, they were a huge hit. Looking around at the crowd I saw people singing along of all ages. There was a middle aged man in front of me nodding his head.
Jake, the lead singer. I asked him about how the band started and if the three brothers had always worked together. He said "Well me and Jeff [drummer] started it and then John [guitarist] joined later on."
So I suppose I should catch up on this, considering Day 9 was really on Thursday, July 29. The reason I have not posted about it is simply because I was busy, college visits and all that jazz.
Before any actual business was preformed a captain in the army was received back from Iraq and another was given a flag on the structure behind the board's table. It was a very nice ceremony.
What I enjoyed most was the people watching. There were so many little hints at who hated who. However, Jeff was taking notes because he could not record it. Then I realized that while I was having a great time watching people...I was alone in the first row. And became extremely self conscious.
Some of the people who preformed were the Philadelphia Mo-town group, Josie [this girl who I think was lip syncing], Cody Simpson, Jason Castro and Mitchel Musso.
We got in line and that's when I realized...I was shaking. It was the same kind of shaking that I got right before presenting in class. Why in the world am I nervous about meeting a Disney celebrity? It wasn't until after it was over did I understand why: Mitchel Musso does the voice of Jeremy on Phinias and Ferb.
This had to be one of the best days ever. I kind of wanted to record his voice because it was so nice. This morning I saw that there was an episode of Hannah Montana where Oliver came back. Of course I watched it and smiled at how adorable his hair was. I never would have thought anything of him if I hadn't met him, but I guess he's just one of those celebrities, you have to see them to believe them.
This may look artistic, but I assure you, it is not. I have to admit this looks a lot cooler on the computer but in real life it looks weird.
Because he felt like it.
That I will never be on. I hope you get that there is a sunset behind me, sorry if it's confusing.
Look it's Hannah! And she looks awful, I am so sorry. It is 11:22 and it's no excuse so I am going to redo it...someday. I just wanted to say that she got an awesome haircut and this doodle does not do it justice.
I do not own this image, please, this is just for the awesomeness because they are awesome. Now some people may not understand: Hannah is a Batman fangirl. She has Batman everything, well maybe not everything but a belt buckle, and a shirt.
Tada! It's me, with brown hair...because senior pictures are deceiving? Yes, yes, I think so. I looked really strange in all of my senior portraits, the background was close to my hair color and even though I am a dirty blonde it made me look like a brunette. My eyes looked extremely small and out of place, and I was really pale. So much for a tan.
So on Saturday, July 24th I went with Jeff to a Native American Powow at a local park. It was extremely hot and I was sweating within minutes but it turned out to be a good experience.
Ooh, aren't I artistic? That's my hand, holding a video camera, recording an interview.
So a few days ago, Friday July 23rd, I went to a local high school to interview the cast and director for the musical Annie Get Your Gun. I have never seen this musical and I will be seeing that very same one this weekend, my cousin is in it.
First we interviewed the director and Jeff and I asked questions about the organization, it's a summer club/organization that teaches students about acting. Then we went inside the auditorium to watch them rehearse. After they finished that we interviewed some of the leads from both nights.
I, too, have my fair share of irrational fears. Do you see that thing? It's HUGE! And it has tusks, who ever had the genius idea to put a large tusk-wielding animal behind a thin glass cage is not a genius at all. Yes, I do know that the "thin wall of glass" is actually very thick, but this fact does not make me feel any better about the huge mammal. I mean, come on, the Saber Tooth Tiger didn't make it, why should this thing get to be all tusky?Because you applied online, we may or may not have received all the documentation needed to review your file. A complete file includes the admission application, official high school transcript, SAT and/or ACT scores, and class rank, if applicable. Although not required, an essay and letters of recommendation are suggested. The Secondary School Report is also very helpful when reviewing your file. You should print the form and give it to your high school counselor or advisor for completion. And, please make every effort to complete your file within the next three weeks."
Great, I thought. I'll just email my counselor, they made it seem easy. Well turns out that I can't get any of these forms sent until September, why? Because no one is in school until September! So why, oh why, did I do this to myself? It's because I finally think I know what's going on.
I think maybe knowing what's going on this early in the process is not the best thing for me. I find myself talking to people about college and I'm excited. Then I get home and tell my mom about my new finds college wise and then I find a con about the college, go on a mass search through the College Board and then get extremely discouraged. But I can't stop! I can't just stop looking up colleges, summer is the best time to look at colleges, or that's what they say.
If I stopped now I would lose track of what I really want to do. In a way I'm glad that I'm crossing colleges off my list but with every new college that has something that I want I find a reason to dislike it.
Today I found a college from a suggestion I was given and I became really excited about a major it offered; I didn't mind that it was a short distance from my home because I have been looking for major over any other factor such as location, cost [I mean that would certainly be a factor later on], or name. When I mentioned the distance to my mom I got the idea that A] she thought that because of the closeness it was a commuter college and that I would not receive boarding or B] because it was close she would rather I stay home and commute to the college.
This "commuting" is not ideal. I don't dislike my home life, I love my parents and brothers but when people say "picture yourself in your dorm, what do you see?" I really don't see myself sitting in my bedroom trying to write an essay while my brothers complain to my parents, yelling down the hallway.
I was given the advice from a local state school graduate to commute until Junior year, in which she suggested to get an apartment. As a social person I said I was worried about not knowing anyone on campus, which she said would not be possible. Then I said that I was worried that I would never get anything done. [Thinking about it now, I almost know that is true. I love television and being at home it would be as if nothing changes and I would slack off and watch TV instead of doing my work]. She told me that at the college she attended no one was ever in the library and if I commuted I would be more likely to be in the library. [Which I think is silly, because I think that I might be more inclined to avoid the library and socialize because I will see people less frequently to begin with. Also, I think that if I commuted that I would have less free time on campus to go to the library]. But she says that my hours would be different from my family members and it wouldn't be so much of a problem.
I am not so sure. I am completely unsure about the entire thing. I see my graduated friends and wonder how they decided on a college at all.
I feel that going to college is like the change of seasons, it has to happen. But commuting is when it turns to summer and it is insanely hot and what do you have? An air conditioner that is broken and keeps the room at the same temperature. So you are sitting in college, but not really because it's just like you're home and you never left, all that's new is the broken air conditioner. [This may not make much sense but what I'm trying to say is that you're in the same place you were the year before but you feel different and you have a ton of work that never really existed before [that's the AC]].
On top of all of this I have to go GP and I can honestly say that I do not want to write an article about a signing of a paper that opened a national park. It's so boring. Would I rather read about 1950s cowboys and write an essay or write an essay about a park I know nothing about? What do you think?
I know this must be the same thing being said from every high school senior but I just have to say it. I hope this gets easier. I really do.

In honor of my good friend Nick who will constantly say "Chase Utley, he's the man." I will begin with none other than Chase himself. Awe he's so cute. And there are so many pictures of him with puppies! Who doesn't like a guy who likes puppies?
Look at this home-run hitter! He's just a big teddy bear. Definitely a person I think is worth meeting, given the opportunity of course.
Speaking of teddy bears...anyone up for a Hawaiian? Oh well, they only have mongoose there. OUTFIELDER, they never get respect, but he has earned his unlike some other people....Awe cutie!
PITCHER! Sure, you don't get to see him as often as the other players, but that just shows how good he is. Just kidding, he's a pitcher, there are quite a few of them. But he's awesome anyway. So awesome that I have another picture of him.
This, my dears, is Cody Ransom. He previously played for the minor league team the Iron Pigs, which I have seen in person. I have high hopes for him, now only if he had a personality or was interviewed...
That's right, I want a T.A.R.D.I.S. for my wedding. It's not too much to as, is it? TARDIS stands for Time and Realitive Dimensions in Space. If you have seen the season finale you would know that Amy used this phrase to remember the Doctor.
Oh Mario Kart Wii why must you torture me? I was having such a lovely time on Luigi's Circut and Moo Moo Meadows and thinking that with a name like Rainbow Road nothing could ever go wrong.
