I'm back in Starkville. I promised a blog with pictures of my house and all that, but I just haven't gotten around to doing that much. I've been busy with all of the decorating and chatting with my roommates, Kayla Moore, Kelsey Hart and Mary-Kathryn Quigley. They are all pretty fantastic and we've been having extremely too much fun in our little house. Even though we live across from the CLASSIEST (nastiest) bar in Starkville, we still have a blast! Thursdays through Saturdays, also Tuesdays, all we hear from 10p.m to 2a.m is bass from the music they play. We'll end up getting sick of it by next month, but right now it's some of the best entertainment.
Since I got back, I've been being busy with the decorating and visiting most of the time. I've been going to Pinelake Church since I got back and it makes me SO excited to be back there! I have really missed the people and the lessons from Pinelake.
We just started classes today, and I have had a SUPER busy day. This blog's going to be on the short side, because I still have to make dinner (being domestic is weird).
Here's a few pictures of the house and my first few days back in Starkville!
Here I am with a random, unplanned blog post! YAY!
Lucy just posted this to her facebook and I KNEW I had to share it with my blogging family (how could I have not though...it is the title of my blog and all).
Now, I'll let you stop waiting and get to the beautiful music that is Lucy Schwartz.
Now, seriously?! You just can't get any better than strings and that perfect voice. I love watching Lucy sing. You can tell it is what she loves to do and she sings with such passion. When I saw her life she was so entertaining to watch. You couldn't really take your eyes off of her because she has so much passion. She's also such a goofy person, which really makes her stand out from other artists that just stand there, sing, perform and leave. She interacts with the audience. So, there's my favorite song, redone to make it my favorite again.
For real, no WAAAAAY it is August?!
I feel like the older you get, the faster time goes by. I've had 3 months of a break and I feel like it has only been a few weeks. I want to go back to school, but then again I don't. I miss all of my friends and all my girls that I'll be living with (shoutouts to my women, Kelsey, Kayla and Mary-Kathryn), but I just really don't want to go back. I'm one of those people that LOVES being at home and I may be one of the only college kids out there that actually enjoys being around my parents! I am so dang excited about having a house this year though! It's going to be so different and so much fun! I'm just excited about all the decorating and actually having a kitchen!
I move into the Highlands this Saturday, and you kiddos can BET that I'll be having a blog up sometime shortly after that with pictures of our lovely abode! And, of course, I will have housemate pictures up too!
I'm a bit worried about this year school wise. For some reason, "sophomore slump" is just now hitting me this summer (which is just great because that means that I've done NOTHING to prepare for school). I also got some pretty sucky news the other day from my voice teacher. Long story short, she will no longer teach at MSU after this year. This woman is the ONLY professor that can keep me sane in the whole music department at State, so this is going to be a big transition. I know I'll be fine, but I'm one of those people who doesn't like change unless it is for the better and this just won't be any better. However, our new choir director is going to be auditioning all choral students before school starts...uhhh, PUMPED! I have always enjoyed choir, especially at State. I think this new era is going to be a good change for the choral department and hopefully for the music department in general. I'm blabbing about stuff you probably don't care about...but whatevs!
Hey, guess what?! I found a song perfect for this August 1st occasion!
Rilo Kiley is a pretty fantastic band, if I do say so myself.
I'm going to leave you guys with this ramble and this song. I'll be back later with finished crafts and my home! (I know, I'm still not done with all my crafts...it's CRUNCH time.)
