10:15 am - Anna is... (the status that I can't put on facebook) depressed, happy to be with friends, sick of crying, realized on the drive up here that disney and wicked do not help when she is seriously depressed because she ends up crying so much she can't sing, realizing that crying definitely impairs driving seeing as she almost ran off the road twice driving here, wishing that she didn't care about things too much, thinking that getting her hopes up about anything is the worst thing she can do, scared that she does not have the money to get her brakes fixed and will have to wait until Thanksgiving (depending on $), thinking her dad is a jackass for not helping with money stuff and hates him oh so much, wanting to hate God for ripping her apart emotionally, but knows she can't hate him because he has giving her an amazing family and the most amazing friends she could have never dreamed of, wants her friends to be happy and healthy, still sick of crying even right now, excited to go the Ren Faire, but know she will probably cry there too....realizing that she just needs to shut up because it is ridiculous for someone to act like such a baby because things do not go the way they were planned and is going to try and stop crying so she can have a great weekend with her family and friends. Current Mood: messed up

October 7th, 2007

04:40 pm I figured I should update since it has been quite some time since my last one. Life has been OMGWTFBBQ stressful lately, but hopefully things will thin out after this week (Midterms YAY). However one thing that is a major part of my stress is worrying about my favorite family member: d.a.d. For those of you who have not heard, he is planning on getting married. This is the more recent girlfriend of about a year. I met her once, briefly last year when I was getting my car fixed, and Kaylee has yet to meet her. Dad is still waiting for my thoughts on the matter, but I haven't had the chance (or mental stamina) to call and tell him what I think. It is funny how this stupid situation has evolved since I was in 8th grade. I knew it would be tough, but I thought it would get easier in time, however that seems to have been the opposite effect. Anyway, life at Samford this year has been tough. I am trying to figure out how to live with a roommate, my classes are def. getting harder, I have a senior recital next year :o, I have finally found my voice :D , trying to figure out how I will adjust next year with most of my best friends leaving at the end of this year (however I try very hard not to think about this one too much), DO, and just life in general. Good thing I don't have the emotional range of a teaspoon or I could possibly explode (if you do not know what movie that is referencing SHAME!! :P) Fall break is this weekend. I am still not sure what I am gonna do. I don't really want to go home since I will be going there in a couple of weeks and I really don't have the money to go anywhere else. More than likely it will be spent here in a practice room (woo-hoo!). Hmmmm...what else to talk about? Oh! Speaking of Kaylee earlier, I AM SOOOO PROUD OF MY LITTLE SISTER! I got to see her march last weekend and let me tell you I cried. I was so proud to see her in the uniform that I was once proud to wear and to see her and the band do so well at their first marching competition was the most incredible feeling ever! It amazes me how those kids can do such an amazing job with a show that looked almost impossible at the beginning with no band director, no drill, nothing. Well I think I am going to end this since it is 5 and I can finally leave work. LATER! Current Mood: improved

08:00 pm Okay, so I thought this weekend would be pretty boring since my roommate and some of my friends are not here, however it has been a lot of fun. Last night I went to see "And the World Goes Round." It was a lot of fun. Today I met up with Chris for lunch and we went to Hobby Lobby so Chris could look for some buttons for his Bach comstume. We found some, but they didn't have enough and had already sent in their order for the week, but they told us that the Hobby Lobby in Hoover might be able to order some. So we ventured there. After a little while of driving and the help of my awesome little, we found it and Chris got some more buttons and ordered the rest he needed. The shopping area that the Hobby Lobby was in had some interesting stores so we went in a few while we waited for Jenny to get into town. Unfortunately we found my new favorite store. It had all kinds of knicknacks and stuffed animals. I found some really cute things and spent way more than I should have in there. Then Chris and I went to a Halloween store up the road. It was so much fun looking at all of the costumes and props in there. I found a dress for the Ren. Faire, but it was kind of expensive. However mom said that maybe I can get it later. Yay! Well, after that Chris and I met up with Jenny M. and Liz at the Galleria. We window shopped and went into Build-A-Bear where us girls built a bear, a puppy, and a bunny. My puppy's name is Ludwig :) After that I went to dinner with he girls at Johnny Rockets. Afterwards we went to look around the music store and then proceeded to Ben and Jerry's for dessert. All in all it was a great day, even though I am totally broke for the rest of the week :P Now I must try and clean up the disaster that is my room. Later! Current Mood: content

10:26 pm So I don't normally post song lyrics, but when I am in a bad mood I tend to belt "No Good Deed" from Wicked so here is a some of the lyrics from it because I am in an especially bad mood: No good deed goes unpunished No act of charity goes unresented No good deed goes unpunished That's my new creed My road of good intentions Led where such roads always lead No good deed Goes unpunished No good deed goes unpunished All helpful urges should be circumvented No good deed goes unpunished Sure, I meant well - Well, look at what well-meant did: All right, enough - so be it So be it, then: Let all Oz be agreed I'm wicked through and through Since I can not succeed Fiyero, saving you I promise no good deed Will I attempt to do again Ever again No good deed Will I do again! No this isn't all of it, but it is what I am particularly singing about so there. Current Mood: oddly enough wanting to leave

02:28 pm Okay, I know that this summer has had more bad things happening than good, but this is simply ridiculous. I am at the point where I just want to tell God to go ahead and strike me dead because I am sick and tired of the crap I am having to go through this summer. It is to the point the I don't want to go to the Harry Potter book party tonight because I am so upset/mad and I am starting to think that withdrawing out of Samford is the best thing right now. Why does "currency have to be currency of the realm?" *screams!!!!!!!!!* :'( Sry about this I just had to vent and venting to a computer just seems like the best way. Current Mood: miserable

July 15th, 2007

07:54 pm So yesterday Josh and I went to Birmingham to visit. Since he had never seen Samford I was really wanting him to see where I go to school and to meet some of my friends. We got there and did a quick drive by tour of Samford and then headed to Panera. There we met Amber and Meagan and were later joined by Brett and Deidre. We spent a leisurely almost 2 hour lunch there. It was so much fun. Afterwards Josh and I went to visit Lindsey where she works. We then went back to Samford so her could see where I really live...the music buildings. haha I was very excited because Emily P. and Perry were there. Josh has heard about Emily since she lived with me (all good Emily, all good :P). They were having "oh-so-much-fun" putting together the hat boxes and putting the hats in them. I showed him around Brock and then Buchanan. We checked my mail and then proceeded to my car. After a quick stop @ Cool Beans for some Chai we headed back to Florence. So that was my day off and I couldn't have had a better day. I love that I had company on the drive there and that he got see to and meet almost everyone. Today I got up and went to work @ 6 AM. Joy of joys. This afternoon my family and I went to see HP. It was sooo much better for me the second time. And, now, thanks to Amber, every time I see Lawhon I will think of Umbridge :D So that has been my weekend. Woo-hoo! Current Mood: drained

July 8th, 2007

04:58 pm I figured I would update since it has been a while. My job has been going quite well. Maybe a little too well since every time I have a day off they call and ask if I can work. I finally said no to working today (however they did rope me into working yesterday). Hey, it's money, and lord knows I need it. Let's see recent activities.....ah. Emily F. came up this past week and spent the 4th here in Florence. This town is so boring that I was trying to find things to do so she wouldn't think "My gosh this place is boring and I am never going to step foot in this town again." (which is how I feel sometimes) Anyway, thanks to Josh, we came up with a few ideas. Tuesday night we went out to eat @ Chile's with Josh and Jenny and then came back to my house to play Apples to Apples and watch Jenny burn her finger with a glue gun. BTW, that night I also got two of the most amazing things ever!! Em brought me the 1st and 3rd Harry Potter books back from the UK. I was, and still am, so ecstatic about them. Thank you sooo much Em..again!!! :) I have actually finished the 1st one and am starting on the 3rd. Ok, then on Wed. Em and I had lunch @ the park and then went to pick up Jenny. We went to McFarland to see if it was worth getting out in the hot sun to see the fireworks. Conclusion: It wasn't. So we got back in the car, went to Linda's so Jenny could grab some music, and came back to my house where Josh met us. We spent the evening playing Quidditch (which Em was quite good at and I beat Josh...TWICE [sry Josh but that was an accomplishment on my part:)]) and we played more Apples to Apples this time with my mom. That was interesting especially when we got to the part where we say what green cards we had that "described" our personalities. Then we went out and played with fire....I mean shot off fireworks and took many random pictures :) Last night Josh and I went to a musical theatre workshop/performance thing. It was fun. While most of the show was exactly like show choir (no sense of pitch and coordination) Jenny stole the show. She was an amazing Lady of the Lake! LOL The next big adventures for my summer include: HP 5 (woo-hoo!!); going to Birmingham next Sat. w/ Josh (so excited!!); My aunt coming to visit (*sarcastic* yay); HP 7 party and reading (can not wait); and then some little wedding thing that I think I HAVE to go to (:P Luv ya Linds!!). And then band camp. I can't believe this summer is almost gone. Anyway, enough boredom. Later!! Current Mood: chipper Current Music: Watching Harry Potter PoA on ABC Family

06:39 pm Mom starts her new job tomorrow!! It is basically the same thing she had except working a little longer. Even though she didn't get exactly what she wanted, but hey it is a job and we are no better off than when we started all of this crap. I had my Kohl's interview today. It went okay. It ended up being a group interview with me and about 8 others. There was another group interview this evening and the lady interviewing us said that they may need to do another one this week. I should know something by the end of next week. I have another interview tomorrow at a place in the mall. Hopefully I will know something about it a little sooner. Other than that today has been the usual: get up, do nothing, go to the gym. Well, I got an interesting wake-up call though. It was from none other than the amazing, wonderful, and much talented....Dr. Fouse. She was wondering what had happened to the recording I did. I told her what I did with them and then emailed Dr. Richardson. Apparently they got put into the library or something cause they are not sure where they are. Greeeeeeat. So yeah, that has been my day. Now, to wait for Jenny to call so we can begin our random trips to Wal-Mart for the summer :D Current Mood: thankful and very tired

01:43 pm Sry for not explaining earlier. I was kind of pissed and left quite abruptly to go and apply for another job. So, I was supposed to start yesterday and the lady told me that the grandparent's were going to take the kids for the day and that she would call and let me know when I needed to be there this morning. She didn't call last night so I tried a couple of times and never got an answer. I decided to get up and be over there around the time she had originally said. When I got there she acted a little weird and the little boy kept asking "Is that our babysitter?" The mom wouldn't answer. She then took me outside and said that her niece got laid off and was going to watch the kids instead. I was so mad and hurt, but I didn't cry until I got in the car. Mom was pissed too. As soon as I got home she told me about a place that was looking for a kind of receptionist. It was in Killen (where I had just come from) So I drove out to this new gym place and interviewed. I have a trial run Sunday night and if that goes well I have the job. The money will be fine, but I would love to find something else a little closer to home. There are still a couple of opportunities in the air so we'll see. Current Mood: determined to find a job

06:55 pm This requires a post. Okay, so I was quite bored this afternoon and decided to go out to BAM and hang out there for a bit. As I was walking through the store I saw this girl that I recognized from high school. I didn't really remember her name or anything, but I smiled and kept walking. I heard her turn around and she said "Don't I know you from somewhere?" I said yes and she said "Were you in band?" "yes" "At Florence High?" "yes" "You were a majorette right?" "yes I was" "Yeah I remember you, you hit yourself in the head with your baton." "Well, yes I did that quite often." (I really didn't hit myself that often I was just trying to joke with her) She continues on to say "Oh yeah I remember that, it really brightens my day to think of that." I just kind of gave a small laugh and turned around and almost ran in the other direction. I was in shock that someone I really don't know just did that to me. I looked in my yearbook and realized that she was the flute player who constantly kept passing out to get out of marching and such. Tiff, I am sure you remember her. It really hurt that that is how I am remembered to some. However, I don't feel as bad after talking to Josh and my mom...and having Josh's mom on my side :D Anyway, yeah so that was fun. In other news, I started the gym today. I am really going to like it. It doesn't take THAT much time and I can go before work (which I start tomorrow YAY!). Also, apparently Tiff is coming this weekend. Yay! Finally we will all be in the same town at the same time. I smell Waffle House! XD AAAANNND....the Harry Potter movie has been bumped up 2 days. Woo hoo! Okay, later all! Current Mood: In awe of people

May 22nd, 2007

04:56 pm Okay, this summer has already started to stink from the minute I walked in the door. (well, since last night but let's not go there) I discovered that my mom was home when I pulled up this afternoon. When I inquired as to why she told me that she had been "fired" yesterday. I use this term loosely because she did nothing wrong it was jsut a conflict on personalities with 1 other attorney out of the 3 attorneys and 3 other workers in the office. Luckily they have given my mom this 8 week pay option. (way too complicated to go into on here, I am not entirely sure how that is working) She is currently looking for another job. This past week or so God has really been doing a number on me. Last week with AC, yesterday with my dad, stress of school, and now this. I am just praying that everything works out and soon. I am thankful though because I am on the yes side of close at having a job that will make me a decent amount of money a week. I am also applying at the movie theater to work nights and weekends. This may not give me a summer, but at least I will be able to make some money and help out, maybe not with bills or anything, but with school stuff next year. There is another thing I am praying about. I love german. You all know that and I added it as a minor this year. Due to financial situations I am afraid that I may not be able to get the minor. It would require me going to Germany next summer or possibly staying an extra semester or year (which I am already worried about with my major). I know that will be a strain on our finances. I don't want to give up yet, but I will need to make a decision soon so I can tell my professor that I am not taking the german class I want to and sign up for something else in a time slot that is available. If you guys have any advice feel free to leave me some. I am just asking for lots of pray. I know everything will work out how it needs to, but it is just scary not knowing how or when it will happen. Em, Ber, Josh thanks so much for listening to me cry and rant the past well...semesters (and in Josh's case 9 years {wow!}) :) *sigh* okay, I must go and get ready for the band banquet. Later! Current Mood: worried

May 13th, 2007

11:04 am Okay so besides making feel miserable this cold (I believe) has provided something else. Extremely WEIRD dreams. I have had at least 4 in the past two days that have just simply weirded me out. See I rarely ever have dreams so that is already weird, but what these are about are just odd. They tend to be about people here and my dad (but I haven't talked to him only Kaylee has). I am surprised that no one from home (besides family) has made an appearance since I have been talking to Jenny, Josh, and Tiff a LOT more than usual. *shrug* I really hope they stop soon.... Current Mood: blah

10:22 pm - I wish this cold would go away and leave me alone!! Yeah so I'm still sick. My nose and throat and are not my friends right now. Anyway, so I just got back a wonderful euphonium recital performed by my amazing suitemate. It was great, a little sad that I didn't get to hear the concerto (however I did hear it when she auditioned for Concerto/Aria I assume it is the same one). I was working her reception with Emily F. and Jamie (both of whom are amazing). It was funny cause we were so glad that Emily P. had an intermission because that would give us more time to set up.....well we were extremely happy for the intermission for a another reason. Apparently Campus Safety decided to lock ALL of the doors to Divinity and we could not get in to continue setting up. After running around the building I finally called and pleaded with them to come and open a door (which they did). I am pretty sure I have had to call Campus Safety about 5 times now to open things that should have been open. Good thing they do not have CallerID XD I am so excited/sad about this next week. Excited because the last day of classes are Mon. and exams start Wed. and sad because I will greatly miss the seniors who are graduating (even though some will still be around) and I will miss my friends that I will not see for a good 3 months (depending on who goes to weddings and places I can visit this summer). So yeah. It is scary to think that I am almost done with half of college (well at Samford anyway). Okay enough sappyness (doubt thought is a word). Tis bedtime G'night!!! Current Mood: sick and tired, but content

May 8th, 2007

10:27 pm So after 8 hours of moping around my room, taking a multitude of drugs (thanks to Lindsey and my mom), crying, discovering I actually missed the last day of german and we have an oral exam on Thursday, lots of crying to Josh, sitting through the first song of the orchestra concert, more crying, standing FOREVER onstage waiting to "sing" (since I didn't sing a note during the concert), more crying (Sorry Em ^_^), working on jury forms, a few minutes of practicing (that went ok, but my throat hurt so much by the time I got through my 5th song I quit), even more crying, hot shower, and hot tea (which I have discovered I kind of like English breakfast tea) I am feeling LOADS better. My throat is still sore and such, but I am now in the mind set of "I will be fine tomorrow" YAY!! So that has been my day in a nutshell. Fun huh? :P Current Mood: drained

06:31 pm *sigh* So I am really wishing I were not alive right now. This week is going to be absolutely horrible unless a miracle occurs and I can get through my last few classes and not fail, pass my jury with a sinus infection, and find some money growing on some trees. Okay that is my rant; back to doing laundry and studying in the sauna that is my room (the AC won't work) and keeping armed with hairspray in case my spider friends decide to make an appearence (3 more weeks, 3 more weeks...) Current Mood: Stupid AC

08:16 pm - Yay for my big coming to the rescue! Okay, so I was walking back to Wesley from Rosa and I was almsot to the stairs when I see this, what appeared to be a stick. I stopped, looked and realized that is was a snake. Well, I decided to be brave (sort of) and called Em. I told her that I wanted her to stay on the phone with me until I got back to my room and then told her there was a snake. She had me stay there and she came over while calling campus safety. We watched the snake slither across the sidewalk (me extremely far back and my "oh so brave big" went to try and see what kind it was since she knows more about snakes than I do). The campus safety guy came (ironically the same guy who came to DO's rescue this past week)and him and Em proceeded to try and find the snake in the bushes. No luck. He then decided to tell us a story of when he brought a snake home (yes it was interesting but I was becoming more and more of a wuss). After he left Em walked me back to the dorm and tried to help me chill out haha So yeah, everyone in Beeson please be careful and watch where you step. Now off to work on DO forms. Current Mood: Things are getting better

April 27th, 2007

08:11 pm - Currently working on conducting homework Yeah so I will probably end up killing myself due to my constant clumsiness. This week I have fallen down the stairs twice (foot is purple from one today), hit my elbow yesterday (it still hurts), randomly keep hitting my elbow, hand hurts from fall and ring almost cutting into my finger (again), and I was just now getting off my bed and I stepped funny and my stool flipped forward. Luckily I landed on my feet, but my ankle didn't like that very much. I just don't know why I can't catch a break these past couple of weeks. It seems like, to quote Bruce Almighty, "God is a mean kid with a magnifying glass." I know that isn't true, but one does wonder. I know that everyone else has much bigger things going on and that I have no right to talk so I just try and shrug off everything and act happy all of the time. (okay well apparently not all of the time considering that a couple of people yesterday kept asking if I was okay, which pushed me to hide until I could regain some kind of composure to show that I was okay) There are just a couple of things that I wish I could catch a break on so maybe I would stop acting so paranoid and such. ANYWAY, 'nuff rambling. We had our band concert last night. It went well. I missed some things, but overall it was great. Today was the faculty appreciation dinner which went smoothly. We got to sing Emily's piece for Dr. Shepherd. It sounded beautiful. I am so proud of my big. Tomorrow I am booked ALL day and the same on Sunday. (hence the sort of trying to get my conducting homework done now) OH, btw one amazing thing did happen this week. My little is officially a DO sister!!! I am so excited . We both got to debut our jerseys today :)So I should probably end this. I figured I would give a little bit of an update since I haven't in a while and apparently I only call people when something bad happens. I hope everyone has a great weekend. Back to translating. Current Mood: I am a klutz
