Updates!

 As of Monday, I am officially starting as major in music with an emphasis on vocals! Tested into the program and passed with flying colors. I am excited! However... my schedule is going to become very busy in January... 

I was given the solo for our choir performance last Sunday and really impressed our Director of Music, I wish I had a video of it, I wanted to see how I did T-T

 This is the new course schedule! 

Intro to Music Theory I - M/W/F - 7:45am
Music Interpretation - Th - 2:30pm
Applied Voice - TBD - TBD
Piano Techniques I - M/W - 9am
Aural Comprehension - T/Th - 7:45am
...College Choir - M/W/F - 1:45pm
History of Music I - M/W - 2pm

That is my schedule as of right now for majoring in applied voice. Probably going to need an english class and a wellness class as well. Fun?

:(

Squishy is never gonna evolve T-T

Summer Days Driftin Away...

Summer is almost over... but what an amazing summer it has been. I don't think I've had a summer this great, ever.

The people I've met, the things I've done... all working toward what I'm doing now.

School started Monday. And what's odd is... I LOVE my classes so far. I know, weird right? I'm not looking forward to english class though... bleh

But oh well. Sitting outside the grill here at CC enjoying the cloudy but perfect temperature day. This breeze is absolutely amazing.

But, I'm almost finished with lunch, and I have a bus to catch. TTFN

Hm.

Yep. That's pretty much it.

what...

Ok, I guess it's alright to place all the blame on me without getting the full story.

That was a very fast and unfair description of what happened...

A brighter horizon...

Well... things have been looking up since Worship Camp, but I still don't even know if you can see these.

Just got back from an amazing week of camping in Pentwater right on the shore of Lake Michigan. I met some really awesome people there. I went stargazing on the dunes during the meteor shower a few days ago. You would've loved it...

Anyway... I'm exhausted after work today, and I need to sleep terribly. Drop me a single line just to let me know you're there please... I miss you.

Farewell my Squish...

So I'm only assuming from your blog becoming invite-only, that your parents have officially stopped all communication between us... I'm so sorry if my coming to worship camp caused any of that.

If I don't hear from you within the next week, I'll know for sure. I hope it hasn't come to that... I really don't.

Just know that I'm always here and will be updating my blog every few days.

I hope to see you soon... but in all honesty, I really don't see that happening until next year. :\

If I don't hear from you soon, I hope you have a wonderful end of the summer and a great new school year. Pray for me, my life is going to become super busy after the 30th, and I only hope that I've chosen the right thing to study in college...

Seriously?

Now this is just getting ridiculous...

Well first and foremost, I got to see my Squish today... but for like 2 minutes, and we couldn't even talk... I gave her my gifts, but was basically kicked out of the camp by the program director.

And here's the real problem I'm having... apparently Deanne didn't want me to come to Worship Camp because of Squish... THIS IS SO STUPID. Like seriously? I can't come volunteer at a camp because I'm friends with her? I don't get these adults sometimes, I swear...

To you Squish:

You looked amazing today, and I'm really sorry I couldn't tell you that in-person. I'm sorry for not being able to talk with you, Deanne wasn't exactly happy with me... And I'm really sorry if there are any repercussions from my being there today. The last thing I want is for us to have even less contact than what we already have. I hope you enjoy your Arnold and Peanut Butter. I was definitely picturing more fanfare and fun as I gave them to you instead having to just give them to you so unceremoniously... And I totally forgot to leave you my awesome glasses to debazzle for us... I'll just have to give them to you next time I see you, which only God knows when that will be. Thank you for the Green Tea by the way, how'd you know it was my favorite!? ;P I hope you have a great time at Worship Camp, and I hope it's not too long before we see each other again.

In other news... I'm going back to Spring Lake tonight, gotta work at 3, so methinks it's time to make some food and get on out of hear.

Updates and moar!

So, vacation bible school has been going awesome. I think I might make my FB less priv so you (you know you are) can see some of the pictures and stuff as they come up. I got my hair cut, so no more flippy emo hair! :O I know, it's like... not even me anymore!

I now have a MUCH better paying job working at Trillium-Gilmore. Gonna be a server/bartender makng $12 an hour not including tips. I can't wait to start tomorrow!

I can't wait to see you again, if I don't get the chance at worship camp (which I know I will) maybe family camp if you go?

Ok, picture time!

I has a faux hawk :O

I shall call him... Mini Me.

Me, Rachel, Callie and Luke

A new dawn, a new day..

Welp, sorry I haven't had any time to do anything on here for awhile, and since only one person I know really reads this, I can kinda direct things at said person.

Umm... Dear you. I hate your stinking guts. You make me sick. You're scum between my toes. Love, your PW. (Insert Little Rascals ACTUAL note here). I sure do hope you've seen the movie, if not... well... this blog might be taken out of context :P

Anyway, been in Spring Lake since yesterday. Going to Grand Haven really makes me wish I lived there... Took a bike ride with Rachel and Luke today, went through downtown Spring Lake and saw that they have this REALLY nice closed off hockey rink at central park, and I heard that they freeze it over during the winter. Umm... can you say me living in Spring Lake this winter? I think so. I miss hockey so much...

Um... Vacation Bible School start tomorrow. I get to get on stage and dance like a fool (like I normally do), but all the jumping around is giving me shin splints... curse my flat feet.

Get to walk around in swim trunks and a t-shirt. Hurray?

If you're anywhere in the area, you should come by Spring Lake Wesleyan Church Sunday-Thursday after like 6pm. Come see me sing an dance!!

Kids being put to bed now, finally get a chance to relax and play some piano! I really wish i had one at home..

Goodnight!

Tired and Irritable

I think this is the first time I haven't wanted it to rain, and now it's pouring, go figure. 80 miles of biking the past 5 days, my legs are kinda tired and sore... but it's a great way to get my mind off of things. Too many things going on right now that I bumming me out, I really can't wait for school to start again.

Need a better paying job, my car is dead and I don't like it. I'm stuck to biking within a 10 mile radius... it gives me a few places to go, but not an efficient means of getting there.

Got a meeting with a school counselor to finalize my classes, I hope it doesn't change too much, I like my times right now. And once I get that figured out, i get books, and a new laptop with the leftover financial aid. I'm mucho happy about that.

I think I might go walk in this here rain, too much on my mind that sometimes I just wish I had a penseive.

Why...

I guess I just don't understand some parents sometimes... I mean, I suppose I can, but men are treated so unfairly in today's society. It's like we're guilty until proven innocent in regards to females.

In other news... I might not be going to Worship Camp, so that means I have no idea when I might see Squish again. I'm seriously bummed... I've been looking forward to this since Day Camp ended...

I've been biking a ton lately. 15 miles yesterday added on to hill sprints later... my legs are kinda dead, but I'm biking downtown again today. Gonna bring my camera this time.

Sorry blog, I feel like I'm rambling.

Bike ride time!

So I figured...

I'm bringing the camera with me the next time I go biking. I keep posting all of these pictures, but they're all from the internet! White Pine Trail would be a great spot for photos... hmm...

I shall dwell on this.

Terrible, Horrible, No good, Very Bad Day.

More rain. I loves it.

Title of this one pretty much sums up the day. Rode the bike again for a little bit. Swam in the shower again. Sat home, read, heard some things I didn't like hearing... being forced to not talk to some people for awhile...

To sum it all up: Blah.

Maybe my mammy may go to Miami and maybe my mammy may not.

^

Switzerland. I want to live there for pretty much this reason here.

It's been a long day already, and it's only 6 PM. Finally got around to getting my bike fixed. New tire and tube on the back. $37 total, not too bad. Ended up breaking the new tire in by taking a nice 16 mile bikeride through this scorching heat today... Sunglasses + sun in face = weird tan line and cherry red nose.

Got to Rockford and went swimming at my aunts, which I haven't done in a few years. It was like 75 degrees. Heaven? Oh yeah, pretty much. Rode through downtown Rockford at like 2 PM... it's so busy there during the day. It's a really nice little town, I wouldn't mind living there either.

And now, I am bored again. I need new books.

Blah.

La bo la bo la bo laaa booo laaa

^

I've found a picture that is pretty much why I like rain so much. Watching it hit the trees and such is very peaceful.

 So, I'm still pretty new to this whole blog thing. I guess it isn't much different than Facebook, only not everyone knows about it. So where to start?

It's been a pretty busy summer. Right now, I'm kinda in-between activities... in that slump... I'm sitting at home, doing nothing. I can't stand it, I'm going out of my mind. My car is dead, I need a new bike tire... it kinda limits me to walking if I want to go someplace, and there aren't many places to go within reasonable walking distance on a hot day.

I honestly can't believe it's been 4 years since I graduated high school... the past 3 years have gone by so fast, and I've done nothing but sit at home. Well, that's changing. School starts up again in August, and I never thought I'd be looking forward to getting up at 6 am again. As of right now, this is my course schedule:

Windows Operating System [Tu 1:45 PM - 4 PM - Holland Campus] 2 Credits

Intro to Computer Information Systems [Fri 9 AM - 12:15 PM - GR] 3 Credits

Basic Music Theory [Mon-Fri 7:45 AM - 8:45 AM - GR] 3 Credits

Choir [Mon, Wed, Fri 12:45 PM - 1:45 PM - GR] 1 Credit

Introduction to Theater [Mon, Wed 9:30 AM - 11 AM - GR(Spectrum Theater)] 3 Credits

Everything there is subject to change as soon as I talk to an enrollment counselor on the 27th (which is really late if you ask me...). Hopefully it doesn't change too much, but I'd probably be dropping Intro to Theater.

I miss the camp experience from Branch Adventures more than I thought possible and I miss my Squishy even more. I can't wait until worship camp, but it seems like it's going to be an entirely new ball game. Not as many kids, and not nearly as young. Hopefully it goes well.

So yeah... that's my life in a nutshell at this moment.

Alrighty

So, now that I got this all squared away thanks to Kara, I believe she's going to be forcing me to post here.

For making this, I do believe I should earn some man points. Because let's be honest, I'm such a manly man.

Halp!
