OK, it's my last day here and it's only 9:00 and it's already dragging. Sooo.... since I'm on my you-should-listen-to-this-music kick, here are some more to check out!
http://www.virginiacoalition.com/ Kinda country-ish, but verrryy catchy
http://www.michaeltolcher.com He has opened for Gavin Degraw and Howie Day most recently, but also Maroon 5, Virginia Coalition, Everclear, the Pat McGee Band, Sister Hazel, and don't hold it against him, but Hanson.
http://www.plainwhitets.com More punk than the others, but still not heavy. They also have awesome harmonies.
http://www.wakingashland.com/ Kinda like Plain White T's. Same label. Very good.
http://www.greenstreetband.com A band out of Troy, MI. Young and good-looking with an awesome sound.
http://www.bluemerle.com/main.html These guys are fun... they have a fiddler.... and they opened for GCB. That automatically makes them good in my book. AND they're recently on the radio, but not around here, of course.
http://www.islandrecords.com/marcbroussard/site/home.las Nice and blues-ey. His voice melts me.
http://www.jasonmraz.com I'm sure you've heard of him, but he's got a new CD out. Frickin hilarious. Make sure you check out "Geek in the Pink."
That should keep you busy for a while...

OK, so you'll probably read this AFTER you read Bekah's because she's cooler than me, but I'm writing it anyways. Last night = AWESOME. Free tickets, promoting my favorite guys in the world, baking them cookies, taking pictures after the show, watching them dance with each other.... now that's my idea of good clean fun, kids.
To keep my Graham Colton Band street team duties, make sure you check out their web site. They're from Dallas, TX and are kinda pop-rock. They like to call themselves plain old Rock'N'Roll. They've opened for Counting Crows, John Mayer, Maroon 5, The Wallflowers, and Better Than Ezra, among many others. You can also sign up for the mailing list and/or street team if you'd like. Did I also mention that they're adorable and nice Southern gentlemen??? Yeah, now you're listening....

I'm sooooo bored. Only today and tomorrow, Christen, and you're DONE. Apparently I talk in third person when I'm bored.
I can't wait to go back to Ann Arbor. And to live in my house. I'm such a nerd... I'm most excited about COOKING in my house. That and using my new knives. Yeah, you're jealous. Admit it. My house is going to be the best-fed on the block, baby. Our barbeques are going to be legendary. You should only hope that you'll get to partake in the goodness.
OK, I'm bored and restless because the CONCERT IS TONIGHT!!!! I plan on baking cookies to give to my favorite guys tonight. Oatmeal chocolate chip, I think. I know they'll appreciate anything homemade.
Anywho, I hope no one actually took the time to read this, and I'm so sorry if you did. |

My random thoughts:
~Do you really think there's 1 person out there that you're made to be with? And if so, what if you never find that person??
~Is it worth risking a friendship to try a relationship?
~How do you know when you've met that person you're made to be with?
Have I messed this up beyond repair? |

I get paid $11 an hour to do nothing. And by nothing, I MEAN nothing. I surf the web and draw and read all day. For 8 hours. That's $88 dollars of nothingness, per day, five days a week. Actually less than that when the take 20% out for taxes. I feel bad, but when they have something for me to do, they bring it in to me or e-mail it to me and apparently, I get it done too fast. Go figure. I'm fine with it though... |

Whoo HOoooo!!! Free tickets to a Graham Colton/Kelly Clarkson concert just for loving me some GCB boys! (Notice how I put Graham Colton first, mainly because I couldn't care less that I get to see Kelly, but for the sake of the conversation (with myself) I had to inform anyone who actually reads my journal which concert I'm going to)
I am optimistic that these free tickets are only the first step in my life getting better. I personally have nothing to complain about, but my family has been striking out lately. No, not striking out. More like being hit in the head repeatedly by a 90 mph baseball...
Anywho, I'm once again bored at work and have nothing better to do than update this. |

Since I never have anything better to do at work, I figured I'd update this after such a long time. However, I won't bore myself (or anyone else who happens to read this) with details about what has happened since I last wrote.
In present times, I can't wait to go back to Ann Arbor. As much as I love my Marshall friends, and I suppose my family also, Marshall doesn't feel like home anymore. I'm not made to live in a small town.... give me the lights and clubs and firetruck sirens at night, baby. I CAN'T WAIT to move into my new house. I haven't decided whether living with 5 RICH kids will be a plus or a minus.
I know it's supposed to be the other way around, but I feel like life is more complicated here than it is at school... just perspective, I guess.
Anywho, I've got a little less than a month here, and I plan on making it fun and relaxing... if at all possible. This means quitting one of my jobs and probably spending more money than I should.
P.S. Great job to you Grease youngens: It was a very entertaining show... hope you guys had fun doing it... I miss being in those shows.... |

So I have 2 more days here and 1 more exam. The Bio exam kicked my butt. My parents are just going to have to accept the fact that my best is good enough. Now, I'm desperately trying to study for damn Astronomy, which I absolutely HATE. The professor is this cute Greek man. I think I would like him if I didn't HATE his class... Everyone else is done with everything and they're all rubbing it in my face. Good friends.
I am starting to get really sad though. My room is already partially empty because one of my roommates moved out today. As much as I hate to say it, I won't be missing her anytime soon. Someone who reads my journal (not this one, my personal one) doesn't rate very high in my book. |

I woke up this morning and thought that maybe I was just dreaming and it's actually sometime in December or so. Ok, so I didn't really think that, but it would be plausible. Here in AA, ("A-squared" as the people who think they're cool call it when really no one IN Ann Arbor call it that...) we've got a couple inches on the ground right now and it's still going strong. NOT cool.
My dorm room is pretty darn empty right now. I found some weird stuff when I was cleaning to pack. I found a shirt I was missing in our recycling bin and about 20 socks that have no match. How does that happen? |

I'm ready for summer. But at the same time, I'm really not looking forward to it. It's going to be weird being home...
I can't believe I'm almost done with my first year of college. Crazy. I don't want to grow up. |

Isn't it funny how when you're really upset about one thing, something else happens and it makes you completely forget about everything bad in your life? Yeah, he called me.
Bad: I got a 52% on my Bio exam
Good: I'll study my BUTT off for the next one
Bad: I hate Valentine's Day
Good: I might actually have a valentine this year... completely voiding out the bad
Bad: I have to work 8 and a half hours on Saturday
Good: After work I get to see Abby!!
In the end, it's all good.
P.S. Question of the day: If you could sleep with any celebrity, without any consequences, who would it be and why?? |

Hello journalers! I was mindlessly surfing the web when I realized that I haven't written in this thing since I started school! I just went through and read my last entries, and my life is sooo different it's crazy. Everything here at Michigan is just dandy. Except for the my first Bio exam that I took last night and um... well it didn't go well. That's what I get for coming to Michigan.
On the friends front... I love all my new Michigan buds, but also miss the Marshall crew. Does anyone else miss the simplicity of high school? Easy classes, minimal responsibilities.... I'm not so sure about this whole growing up thing.
As for boys... well there MAY be a new prospect on the line. Is it bad to fall for your younger cousin's best friend?? He's only a month and a half younger than me and is a freshman in college, so it's fine right? Except for when your cousin, who is a girl, gets upset about it. We hung out this weekend and needless to say, there's a new guy to put on "the list" if you know what I mean. Laura knows what I'm talking about. Now the big debate is whether to call him or wait to see if he calls me... any advice?
Well, hopefully I'll remember to write in this from now on, and consequently keep in better touch with everyone! |

So lately I've been living in the future. All I can think about is next year and how I'm going to have to work my butt off just to not flunk out of college. What have I done? I'm not motivated enough or enough of a hard worker to succeed at Michigan. I'm scared and panicked that I'll fail. And then there's the fact that I can't enough afford it. And this summer I really want to do the summer show, but I need to work too and right now I hate my job and things need to change if I'm going to stay there, so I have to go talk to the owner and she scares me. I'm living in a constant state of terror. Haha. My feelings are so messed up that I actually don't mind spending time with my family because I know I'll miss them next year. Oh how things change from when you're a freshman to a senior. I was just reading this stuff about graduation, and I almost started crying. While I'm so excited to get out of high school, it's so weird to think that I'll be on my own next year. Not even next year... in about 4 months! Is anyone else freaking out like I am?? |

K, so for every bad there's a good right? Well it doesn't usually happen for me, but there was actually a good this time. Bad: my parents and I got into yet another fight. They told me how irresponsible I've been this year, and how I need to turn in more scholarships blah blah blah. So I had a bad Saturday morning. Good: this really cute guy that I met at a party asked Bri for my number. Wow, this kind of thing NEVER happens to me. Hott guys just don't randomly ask for my number. He plays basketball, runs track, and is a very nice boy. Let's just hope I don't mess this one up... |

These last 2 weeks have been such a roller coaster of emotions. For all of you who know the story, you know what I'm talking about. Recent events have made me really think about things. Like who my real friends are and what's important to me right now. Much to my parents' displeasure, the only thing I want to do until the end of the school year is have fun. I know I should be responsibly and stuff, but I feel like I need to live it up with my best friends before we all go our separate ways next year. It kills me to think about not being able to see my favorite people in the world everyday. I feel so lucky to have friends who've stuck by me. I don't think I could survive the wrath of life without my friends to cheer me up. The things my parents say don't even hurt my feelings as much anymore. I've come to the point that when they yell at me, I just brush it off and keep going. Nothing really phases me anymore. I don't know that it's a good thing, but it's working out okay. I'm tired of reacting, so I don't. Just keep smiling.
"And I hope you'll always be as I remember you best..." |

Wow, I'm sleepy. I didn't get enough sleep this weekend. Sleeping in is not a concept that exists in my world. On Saturday morning though, I guess waking up so early paid off since we got a 1 at Solo and Ensemble. Talk about awesome singing.... hehe. It's so cool to be in such a small group that works so well together. We rocked. With help from Doc Sly.
Then of course, I went out on Saturday night. I kinda went out with this guy, and needless to say, I got home at 11. How pathetic. I don't think I've been home by 11 on a Saturday night in months.
On Sunday, we went to Detroit to visit the family. My little cousin is sooo cute. And my aunt is pregnant with another one, so that's awesome. My family is just awesome in general... except when my dad makes me do the dishes at 11 o'clock at night like he did last night.
This has been a pretty pointless entry, but I'm bored, so I'm sorry if you read this and are totally bored out of YOUR mind now. |

Just when you think you can't get out of this rut, something absolutely wonderful happens that makes you rethink things. I had a terrible week last week, and a not so great weekend... didn't go to the dance, lame party, and a HUGE fight with my mom. Then..... the silver lining..... my acceptance letter from Michigan. I was jumping up and down, oh geez it was funny. This brightened my week SSOOOOO much. |

Oh wow I hate Marshall drama. haha. It's crazy how you can get caught in the middle of things just by affiliation. Apparently people don't like you just because you hang out with their ex-boyfriend.... oh geez. And then when your friends talk trash about her, you get fingers pointed at YOU, when really YOU didn't do anything but try to be nice!! Marshall sucks. |
