Pretty Music!

What an interesting day, I worked Janitorial wish Saraiah and Esra. Esra chased us around the school building spraying us with citrus air freshener....don't ask me why. :P

Then Mr Hinds told me that I was one of the ones chosen to record for the filming project. I was completely and utterly shocked, I mean...like everyone at this school is better then me so why on earth am I one of the ones!?

Then...we had class....I fell asleep in science, that's what happens when you get up at 4 to practice. PE was awesome we did caneoing and landscaping!

And now I'm sitting in the lobby listening to my music and writing this. So it's been a pretty good day. Pretty much any day can turn good if you have music. :) But as it happens today was good anyway, music just made it better.

A blog of rambling

Well....Lets see what's new that I haven't already posted about?

We're going on tour this weekend, then it's thanksgiving break. So I wont have school for a week, just work. So that will be nice....ish. :P Then we'll start on the Christmas music.

I talked to my mom the other day, and I don't have to work the whole summer!!!!!!!! Only part of it..and there was a change of plans and now I'll have to weed for part of the summer..The other part I'll be home or traveling from church to church with my parents. I remember last time we did that...yeah...well it should be interesting. And I'm really excited to be seeing my family and I'll actually be able to spend some time with them.

I CANT WAIT TILL CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!! It will be SO exciting to go home! My dad told me not to take anything except a carry-on though.. so I should have fun with that. His logic was that I have clothes I left at home, my logic was that I left them home because they were unapproved. :P Oh well, better to have a skirt that shows my knees when I sit then to have to lug around a suitcase from airport to airport. And then after Christmas moms coming up to Canada with me to visit. So that will be alot of fun.

Update

As an update for the past few days, Saturday night was AMAZING! We had family night with the whole sophomore class of 23 together in the cafeteria with biz and Jeremy. We stayed till 10 PM playing games, it was so much fun! Our class got to know each other alot better, especially in "I have never" We learned that mason put purple streaks in his hair, Esra put a smoke bomb in a nursing home, Raina shaved her head when she was 5, and I...well I'm not even gonna say that one!

Then last night the basement flooded....yeah it wasn't a nice smell. Girls with boots gave girls with socks piggy back rides upstairs to dryness. I was one of the one's with socks....But thankfully all the water was out by 10 so most of us went back to our rooms, except for the girls who's rooms got flooded. They slept in the lobby.

My computer got checked....I'm not even gonna say anything else about that. But long story short, I had THOUSANDS of songs, I now have about 10. The new dean dissaproved alot of stuff that was totally approved, Mrs hinds had approved it. But now it's all gone. All my Josh groban, casting crowns, Chris Tomlin, rascal flatts, soundtrack from a walk to remember.....yeah I'm sad.

God is SO good!

I'm SO excited! I had just run out of money like 3 days ago, and I didn't know what I was gonna do because I cant ask my parents fotr more money when their already struggling to keep me here. I was about to sell anything I could find in my room, and then at worship Mr Hinds announced that on Aundrea they needed people to work for as many hours as they wanted in MG for CASH! Which like never happens! It's SO amazing! SO I'm working all day and I'll have enough money to last me a long time. Thank you God!

5 Months

I just realized that today marks 5 months away from "home".
It's odd how you almost become immune to missing things after a while. I only miss home on my off days like if I'm sick...or if a certain smell or sound reminds me of Albania. Or even a song on my i pod that I listened to while walking past something in Albania it's burned in my brain and the whole scene comes back when I listen to that song....

Oh well life goes on.

Morocco vs Saudi vs Jordan

Oh I almost forgot. I talked to my sister a few days ago and she gave me an idea....She said I should go to college in Jordan, Morocco, or Saudi Arabia because they have great Archeology schools there. I haven't decided yet, but I think it sounds pretty awesome, except for the fact that I would be leaving all my friends in North America, but hey...it's not like that's a first for me. I'm leaning towards Saudi....I guess cause dad lived there when he was in the Air force. It would be kinda cool to follow in his footsteps. Except for the fact that I would have to wear a Burqa and not go anywhere without a guy with me. That would be hard for me...But hey I got a few years to decide I might just end up going to Andrews or something normal. We'll see.

I have returned!

Well we just got back from the camp out! It was a blast, we saw a bear, smelled like smoke at the end of it, and sat on big rocks. The perfect camping experience. :P

It's still early and I'm not quite awake yet, and tomorrow the whole week starts over again...This school year's going so fast!

I should go get my Sunday going, I'll post more as things happen.

The darkness closes in once more

And I'm off on a camp out! Which they said could possibly end up in snow because it's so cold where we're going! So this should be fun.

Another interesting thing in the life of me, almost every girl in school has been getting little notes of encouragement in their lockers that deal with exactly what their going through even though they haven't told anyone. I got one today, a bible verse about EXACTLY what I was going through. It was amazing....

Then I got to miss half of PE class because Johnny forgot me :( hee hee! I asked him if I could go get water right around the corner, he said yes, I went, I came back and they were gone. And since I had no clue where they were hiking Rosa said I should just chill in the school building until they walked by or something. So I did. It was a very relaxing 40 minutes! *grins*

Ugh...and I just realized it's dark..again. I always seem to get caught in the dark on my way back to the dorm, you would think I'd have learned by now. I hate walking by myself in the dark...Well at least in this country I do. In Albania it's not scary because there's street lights far away, and sheep and shepherds fires, and gypsy music far away, and it's just all nice and homey. But the silence here is sometimes unnerving at night.

Wow....I not only succeeded in making myself scared of walking back but also homesick. Way to go me.

Well this blog is going downhill

Where to begin....well I was supposed to be on that bus to Oregon. Last minute thing, then it fell through so I am still stuck on campus. I'm on the work list as in Oregon, and I'm sincerely bummed /depressed. The one highlight of the day is that I got out of 2 classes to pack for a trip I never went on. Oh and my phone card isn't working today so I cant call anyone. Isn't that just the topping on the cake....


I'm sorry that my blogging has been so depressing for the last few days. I'll umm....try to be less depressed....

Adios

Ah...well today is going better then the last few days.

I worked science-lab and finished so quick that they sent me to work music office. So I spent 2 hours looking for a keyboard case for tour. So that was kinda fun. Then loaded the bus.

The campus is going to be so quiet because all the loud people are going on tour. :P So that also means free wash machines, phones, piano's and computers! And I would write more but the first bell just rang so I should go get my stuff and go to class. :( I'll try and post a more put together blog later.

Heehee, and we have a quiz today so we're gonna get mr Ras off topic by bringing up arranged marriages and having a heated discussion on the matter. This should be interesting

Tuesday, September 14, 2010

Well this is life I might as well get used to it.

Well....yeah today didn't go much better then yesterday, it might have been worse but I was immune to the horribleness of the day it was normally bad. Wow.....that made no sense whatsoever...oh well.

Their leaving on the Oregon tour tomorrow. I would do ANYTHING to be on that bus and out of school and away from certain teachers for a week! But unfortunately I suck too much at violin, and sing like a dying toad. So I wont be on that bus. Depressing I know.... Well...yeah. I guess thats pretty much it.

Monday, September 13, 2010

I'll carry on

Well....I'm having the worst day that I've had in a long time.

But I trust it will be better tomorrow. But sometimes it feels like God forgot about you for the day, I know that's not true but that's how it feels sometimes. Expecially when you spend in between class peroids crying into your locker....I'm just really stressed out today...but I'll be ok. I just need a nice long quiet time to talk with God.

Today.....

Well to my utter shock I passed my math test. :) I'm pretty positive I passed my science test, and I still have the 2 other re-takes coming up soon. And I'm back to working MG tomorrow so that should be fun. I'm glad I'm in MG again I cant wait to do harvesting tomorrow! And we're going on a camp out this weekend while mixed chorus is on the Oregon tour. I'm glad, but slightly bummed cause I wont be able to get my 15 hours of practice in if I'm on a camp out I'll only have like...11 or 12. Oh well life goes on.

I talked to my dad yesterday and apparently my Mom is gonna come visit me after Christmas for a week. So that should be fun.

Not a normal day go's by...

Oh my goodness this is so exciting!!!! Blog spot was blocked for 2 days and it was SO SAD!!!! But now I have it again so I am happy. :) And we got to have a town trip today so that was exciting...after I got back and added up my receipts I gave my debit card to Rosa and told her not to give it back till Christmas. :P

Other then that my weekend was pretty good, spent most of it writing a song with Sam. And then we have to preform it in front of the whole school in a few days! I dont have to sing though. :D I'm playing the guitar instead. :)

And I got to talk to all my family members this weekend except my Mom cause she's in Serbia. Which she didn't tell me about...I found out from my dad. My family has such odd ways of communication. But that's fine.... It gives me an excuse to do the same thing.

Oh and I had my first real root beer float today...ne with the right flavor ice cream...not peppermint like last time. :P

And Timothy is leaving on Wednesday to go home...so that's pretty sad, yeah this weekend has been a mix of many emotions! I went from happy to sad to excited to nervous to hyper to....well yeah everything pretty much.

Friday, September 10, 2010

WEEEEKEEEEEND!!!! WOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

I finished 2 tests, work, and all responsibilities for today! :)
I think I'll take the longest shower of my life. :P Anyway I would write more, but I'm anxious to get started with the exciting weekend! I shall post more as soon as I have something to say. Heehee

This song pretty much says it all.

Three in the morning,
And I'm still awake,
So I picked up a pen and a page,
And I started writing,
Just what I'd say,
If we were face to face,
I'd tell you just what you mean to me,
I'd tell you these simple truths,

Be strong in the Lord and,
Never give up hope,
You're going to do great things,
I already know,
God's got His hand on you so,
Don't live life in fear,
Forgive and forget,
But don't forget why you're here,
Take your time and pray,
These are the words I would say,

Last time we spoke,
You said you were hurting,
And I felt your pain in my heart,
I want to tell you,
That I keep on praying,
Love will find you where you are,
I know cause I've already been there,
So please hear these simple truths,

Be strong in the Lord and,
Never give up hope,
You're going to do great things,
I already know,
God's got His hand on you so,
Don't live life in fear,
Forgive and forget,
But don't forget why you're here,
Take your time and pray,
These are the words I would say,

From one simple life to another,
I will say,
Come find peace in the Father,

Be strong in the Lord and,
Never give up hope,
You're going to do great things,
I already know,
God's got His hand on you so,
Don't live life in fear,
Forgive and forget,
But don't forget why you're here,
Take your time and pray,
Thank God for each day,
His love will find a way,
These are the words I would say

Too....much....STRESS!

Well....wow, where to start? I am SO busy right now it's not even funny.
I have 2 tests tomorrow, and 2 make up tests sometime before Monday. And I'm writing a song for Craig, and getting up at 5 to practice my violin, so I can fit 15 hours of practice time in each week. Plus I have to study while cleaning bathrooms cause I don't have time otherwise. Currently I'm only sleeping 6 and half hours, unless you count the time I sleep in science class. Which is really annoying because I cant stay awake but I desperately want and need to in order to pass the class! Lets just say things are extremely stressful...I would write more but I have to go back to work.

Adios Amigo's

Yayness!

Well my day was AMAZING! Go figure!
I started by cleaning 6 bathrooms and then I did landscaping for the remainder of work hours. Several things went wrong today like my bridge popped off my violin so I couldn't practice me extra hour, and my math teacher hates my guts....But good things happened too! Like, Craig said I can be 2nd violin by the California tour, and offered 500 bucks for a song about sabbath or the mark of the beast. So yeah, pretty good day! And to top off my good day we had mashed potatoes for lunch. :) It's like the cherry on top! *grins*

Oh! And did I mention I get a re-take test!? *grins bigger*

Good day or Bad day?

I figured out that all it takes to have a good day is to have good attitude. Because I've been cleaning toilets all week, the first couple days I had a good attitude toward it and I had good days. then yesterday I think I decided I didn't like it so naturally I had a bad day. SO today I am going to have a good day! (I'll blog later to tell you if I actually did or not) :P

Double GRRRRRR!!!!

Well....It's Tuesday night, personally I hate Tuesday..and Wednesday...and because they mean the week isn't over and it's not the weekend yet, AND it's the same routine again...and again...and AGAIN!

And to top it off I just found out I cant upload photo's onto blog spot!!!!!!!! BECAUSE OF THE STUPID INTERNET RULES! I hate this...I hate this so bad. However shall I live.

!!!!!

Grrr..... I realize this is not the ideal way to start a blog post but I don't care!

I'm completely freaking out! I have a science test today I didn't study for because I was too busy with the overload of math homework! And I have no idea why I'm on here between classes instead of studying....good point! Bye

Monday.....

Today was surprisingly pretty good! Which is odd...because it's Monday and Mondays are always fairly suckish. Which is what I was thinking this morning when I woke up, which is why I delayed getting up until the last possible minute. I didnt want to get up because I had nothing to look forward to, I was working my least favorite job, I wasnt getting math, I wasn't keeping up in music, and I had 2 tests I hadnt heard about till that morning. But after I got to school everything kinda worked itself out.
1. Somebody asked to switch jobs with me so I cleaned the guys bathrooms and the buses, not ideal but better then the other option!
2. In math class today show explained it better and I actually got it!
3. I ate lunch really fast and got in an extra 30 min practice time and learned a new song.
4. the science test turns out isn't till Thursday, and the Bible test he told us all the answers before the test.

Then since we finished so fast on the test we got to use the extra time for homework and internet. Hence this blog post. :) Complements of Mr Hinds.

All in all....today wasn't quite as bad as I thought.

Oh! And me and a Morgan did a photoshoot yesterday so I shall post many pictures within the next few days! :)

Wonderfull weekend!

This weekend has been AMAZING! To start it out Friday I got out of MG and worked campus instead, I got to throw big rocks in a trailer for 2 hours! It was not only character building but muscle building! :)

Vespers was amazing that night, we watched David Asscherick's sermon "oh what wonderous love is this". Tears were pouring down my face by the end of it as I thought of the people who needed to hear this. If you haven't already seen it go look it up NOW!

Then Saturday afternoon after church we all sat in the lobby of the girls dorm and read a book about a man who got drafted into world war 2 and became an Adventist.

Saturday night was AMAZING! All three girls dorms came to the main one and we arm wrestled, leg wrestled, thumb wrestled....pretty much every form of wrestling! Played Ninja, and had a plank contest late into the night. Then we all settled down to watch "food Inc" while drinking veggie coffee....never eat during that movie!

Then this morning I woke up completely dizzy, felt like I might pass out any minute, which was really bad since I had weekend cleanup at the caf, but Rosa called down there and told them to find a replacement so I went to bed for another 2 hours and woke up completely fine. Praise God!

Furthermore it has been raining and cold and windy for 2 days, it was like that this morning and we were rather sad because the campus fall picnic is today. Then miraculously when I woke up the second time around 1o the sky was clear and the sun out! :)

I will post pictures of the picnic when I have time. :)

Letter to God

God, I'm completely lost. Everyone's telling me something different. I'm being pulled from all directions....The minute my brain decides one thing my heart decides something else. I don't know where your leading anymore.....

Nothings for sure forever anymore....Show me what to do.
