Today is the first day of the second week of my third year at Wenatchee Valley College. I skipped months in there, but that is pretty "tight" the way that worked out (btw, "tight" is apparently the new word for "cool"). I love all my business and math related classes and I am ecstatic at the thought of being able to excell in the business world (someday, after much toil). I am in the process of applying to Whitworth University in hopes of getting accepted, so that I can apply to their Business Program, in order to get a Business degree, to get a job, to make money, to travel the world, to find my FH, to marry the man of my dreams, to finally have some kids for all the awesome names I have collected over the years. And that is just one of my goals.
Last week went as smoothly as can be expected for the first week of school. On Friday, I went to Trinity Teens at the Eiferts. Had a blast. The parents made plans for the year of Trinity Teens, changed the rules, and may even change the name. It started out as First Friday. Saturday I WAS going to go to the Whitworth Homecoming Football game with Grandpa Tom and his brothers, but was not allowed to go because if I was able to go to that in spite of homework, then I should be able to go the the Bible Quiz. But if I did not want to go to the Quiz, then I couldn't go the game. It was a lose-lose situation for me both ways. I was very disappointed. But I ended up going to the Cross-country meet with Gretha and Anna. We saw Kayla run, and she ran great. We also saw Hannah, but she wasn't running, because she was sick that day. Anna and I met a friend of Gretha's, who was very nice and polite. I almost greeted him like I knew him, but stopped myself just in time. I know a lot ABOUT him, I just never actually met him. He probably had never seen or heard of me in his life. Then we went to the Owl and had a milkshake. We finally had our get-together after months of saying we needed to BEFORE school. Then the Halls invited us to a BBQ as a Barger substitute on short notice. We had delicious pork ribs, grilled by Mr. Hall himself. Then on Sunday we sang for the prelude like we always do. I volunteered to sing Alto because Melanie was going to move one of us Sopranos to that part for the song. But ANNA had to take it away because she did not feel like singing high that day. I was not happy about that, because sometimes I like to sing Alto, and this was a chance to do it for an actual prelude, not just for fun during the service.
I am going through a jazz phase music-wise right now. I love all the oldies. I prefer them to most of the modern music these days. I absolutely love swing dancing and I really want to learn the art, but the parents must have a problem with the music...I really can't understand it. I am the odd one out of the family in this case, because I am the only one who really appreciates jazz.
Campus Crusade is starting up again this Wednesday, and I am excited to get back into it. The only problem is it starts at 7:00pm and I have a night class till 7:45. If I could convince enough people that they would like it at 7:30 instead, I would only be 15 minutes late instead of 45. But I don't know how that will go. Also, my parents are somewhat opposed to Campus Crusade because it is not Church-based. It is mostly independent, not affiliated with any one church, and I can see how this would be preferable...but I still love it.
Choir rehearsals are back! They have been for a while, but I am still excited. I am the OFFICIAL Attendance Keeper, and I have a super system all worked out, in line with the new attendance policy. I need to ask people to tell me instead of, or in addition to, Melanie, because I never seem to hear about people's whereabouts until choir is started, then I feel clueless. Speaking of Choir, Mrs. Appel's Funeral was absolutely glorious. I cried almost the whole time. She was such a dear lady. I will miss her.
I need to ask Mrs. Unger if she will hire me as an English Tutor in the Tutor Center. I know they have them in the English Write-labs, but I don't want to be stuck in one of those dismal dark dens. I much prefer the Tutor Center atmosphere. I also need to see if I can be a Computer Lab tech. I want to make as much money as I am alowed to with financial aid. I also need to look more into Student Senate. I would really like to be more involved, but I don't know how much I can handle, and how busy I will be.
I love the way this runs on, and on, and on...
ReplyDeleteSorry about you not singing alto. Next time I need another alto I will ask you first. :-)

Oh my goodness! I didn't mean to sound ungrateful...! It really was okay.
ReplyDeleteWell, I haven't blogged in soooo long. I needed to catch up...:)
