I've got time

So I have time today to sit in the electronic music lab and catch up on my blogging. There are quit a few of us in here today. Laura decided to show us this horrible recording of Florence Foster Jenkins singing the freaking high song from the Magic Flute and the song that Sara O. did for the concerto competition. It is truly horrible. Her German is terrible and she sounds like a dying animal. Now there are some singers in the department who are not that good at hitting higher notes, I myself have squeaked before, but this woman has taken bad singing to the next level. It was hilarious to watch.

If you have nothing to do today go look up Florence Foster Jenkins sings Mozart.
That is all

The past couple of weeks have been not so fun. I went from having insane back pain to getting a cold. Which was very odd since I was on antibiotics to begin with. I know they don't help with a virus but getting sick was the last thing that I needed last week. Things are starting to return to normal, or as normal as things are in my life. I can breathe and move with hurting myself so I feel great!

My family, minus my brother, came for a college visit on Friday. I love my sister very much but I'm not sure if it's a good idea for her to come to USD. She would do great here but I want my space and she should have that experience of being completely on her own. I had to that with my freshman year and I think it's time for her to grow up and not rely on others to do things for her. That and if she goes to Northern she gets her own car...

Yesterday was Brianna's 21st birthday. I really hope she loved her day. It was fun for all of us to go to Sioux City and just hang out. I really miss that. We are all so busy! It's just nice to be with other people for a change, especially eating Applebee's:) I can't wait for my 21st birthday. Eight short months from now I can legally go to the bars. Not that I'm counting.

Well off to Choir.
Later

short and sweet

I got to babysit an adorable like guy named Isaac tonight. He is almost a year old half American half Scottish baby and was so much fun!!! We read books and watched a movie and he has this standing piano thing that makes weird noises. BUT I will be so happy when his mom comes back. Babies are cute but I'm definitely not ready for one yet!

Thanks

So lately my blogs have been complaints about things that have been going on in my life so I would like to take this blog to say how thankful I actually am.

First of all I'm breathing. This is a very good thing to do. Second, I'm thankful for my jobs. Even though I talk about all the things that go wrong while I'm working I do love both of my jobs. They allow me to pay for college instead of taking out more loans. That, and they are something for me to DO in my spare time. (Many people will probably laugh at the free time part.) Third, I'm thankful for my parents. They've been there for me when I really needed them and are willing to talk whenever I need to. Fourth, I'm thankful for Diane P. She helps me stay grounded and is always looking out for me. She's almost like a second mom, even if she is my ex boyfriend's mom. Fifth, I'm thankful that I have such great friends. I never used to interact with people as much as I have in college. The friends that I have now are truly amazing and I thank God for them. (Kevin, Kayla, Brianna, Chris, Laura K, Laura B, Alison, etc.) And finally, though many of you will not wish to read this, I'm thankful for Kevin. I wont go into the mussy stuff but he has become a big part of my life and I am truly blessed to be his girlfriend.

Thanks Everyone,
Ash
