So I have my first class of 19th Century US History tonight. I walked into the room and Tiff Roos was sitting there. That was definately cool. There are only five of us in the class and it's great that someone I know is in there. We had a good conversation during our 20 minute break and it was fun to talk with her again. The class was pretty ( Read more... )

So, I figure it's time to give an update for this poor, lonely journal. The last week of school was pretty busy. My finals went well and I'm pleased with my grades for this semester. I'm totally psyched b/c I got an A on my huge paper and an A for CC for the semester. That's way huge. Otherwise, things went well for the last week. I got my ( Read more... )

WOOHOO!!!!!!!!! The Paper is done!!!!!!!!! I am now going to put all my research, note cards, and drafts into the recycling bin. It will be a very vindicating experience. A special thanks to Mr. Taylor and Pastor Boyer for their help this morning as I finished my research 7 hours before the paper was due. I am now free. (actually not, b/c I ( Read more... )

Now that juries are over, it's time for an update. We'll start with juries. This past week has been very busy getting ready for juries. I've had to practice with all three girls whose voice juries I accompanied. We had a studio recital on Tuesday, then I went to two lessons each this week. They all sang well this morning, so that was good. I ( Read more... )

My new theme song. "We'll see." Probably accompanied by a twisting of arms with hands clenched in a fist, otherwise known as the "Jen Dance."

Here's the big news of the week.

"Another series of twister touchdowns were reported in northern Indiana, stretching from near Indianapolis northeastward to Fort Wayne. No deaths were reported."

Yep, I'm officially in Tornado County.

So I do believe it's time for an update. Last week was pretty busy. We had a horn studio recital that I was playing in, plus I was accompanying two ppl for it. I also had a Musica Viva to accompany for last week. It was some crazy accompanying and piano playing. The horn recital did not go particularly well. I would say it's probably the ( Read more... )

I guess this journal needs an update. First of all, we need some closure for the Ghetto Oklahoma. The last two performances went pretty well. Nothing too ghetto to talk about it. They invited us back to play with them next year. They're doing Guys and Dolls. Oh yes, everyone, ghetto Guys and Dolls. It'll be fun times ( Read more... )

Ghetto Oklahoma fun occurance for tonight: A cell phone went off ON STAGE tonight. Yep, that's right. It was the en dof the dream sequence adn the stage crew walks slowly on stage to carry off the body. The violins are tremoloing on an E-flat and the cell phone goes off on stage, amazingly, in the key of E-flat. Just another example of this ( Read more... )

I'm very upset that no one posted on my ghetto fab Oklahoma experience, especially you Stroudsburgians who have all those wonderful years of musicals wtih Mr. Mell to compare this to. Shame on you for not posting.
