Summer is Here!!! =)

I realize it has been quite awhile since I've posted. Summer has been awesome. Way greater than I ever expected! God has blessed me soooo much! I actually just got home from the beach yesterday. I did a wonderful job of allowing the sun to burn me...hopefully the swelling will die down soon. (And yes, I did put on sun screen...it just didn't work I guess.) It was so great to spend time with my mom, sister and my mom's sisters and thier kids. I have like 27 cousins on my mom's side and every year we get this great beach house for two weeks. We don't all fit in it anymore. So for the first four days of the two weeks, it was just my Grandmother, my mom's two sisters and thier kids and us. One of my cousins is living in Ocean City this Summer but other than that I was the oldest cousin there. That was just strange, cause I'm like ninth in the line up. But we had a blast. It was good to be at the beach with everyone again. On the way home we listened to the Orginal Broadway Cast Recording of Les Mis. I forgot how good it was. I found myself in tears most of the time because of how beautiful the music is. (Is "is" a preposition? Cuase if it is then I just broke a grammer rule.)


I got my permit about a month ago, but I still have 57 hours to go...so it'll be awhile! But driving is fun. My dad is constantly telling me to use the gas pedel...cause I forget about it. (scary....I know.) And I cannot understand how to fill in the manuel thing that keeps track of your hours....so I have to like figure that one out still....

I've been zipping through my booklist. Right now I am reading Lost Moon. It's about Apollo 13 and written by one of my mom's friends who writes for Time Magazine. It's quite good.

Edit: I just realized I said, 57 hours to go...what I meant was 53...

Blaah! Dis is Cwaziness!

So much school! Yikes, I'm drowning. (Actually I'm not, especially not if I am posting on a blog. Goodness! )

Anyways...Studying for my final bio exam. Kristin had Lindsey, Anna and I over to go over all the info for a few hours. Fun times. And guess what? We actually studied. I love biology and I am going to miss my wonderful teacher. But I get her next September for Advanced Biology. (I can't believe I ever didn't like Science. What was up with me?)

After Thursday, the business of school ends and another loaded weekend shall commence. It's packed with rehearsals, parties, concerts, sleepovers, meetings, shopping, and much to my liking, very little homework. Then I will fall back into my packed school week when I wished I did more homework over the weekend again. And so on and so forth and the pattern will continue. Until June 1st when I take my final drivers ed class, throw some clothes in a suitcase and drive off into the horizon with my Daddy, to meet up with the rest of my fam, off to vacation. When I come home, the seniors will have graduated, and I shall be an Upperclassmen...upperclasswomen...
upperclassgirl....upperclassperson whatever!

Back to today. After totally boring myself with nearly two hours of piano practice, and too much History reading for my own good. I went purevoluming and discovered some new bands. Grey Holiday is one of them. They have a very unique sound, but I enjoy them.

Okay, enough of this.

A Year Ago Today....

I was on my way to Sienna....::sigh:: I feel old. Man, that was a year ago? Go to www.tic-tac-tantor.blogspot.com if you feel like reading about my travels.

This is a pic that Josh Tucker took of me and Joanna Jones on the first Saturday Night of Godspell. I am deff gonna miss singing backround with her! =(

Well, this is my first Saturday since sometime in September that I haven't had any type of Godspell rehearsal. Last night I stayed up extremly late...(for me anyways.) and watched Maroon 5 DVD's with my brother. I must say they are extremely talented.

It's strange...it hasn't hit me yet that Godspell is like, over. Maybe it never will...

Oh, here is a super funny video that makes me laugh really hard everytime I watch it!

Okay well, I'm sick. I've had three cups of coffee and six and a half cups of tea today and I still can't sing! Ahh! I need my voice back! Time to go watch more movies...bye.

Okay...so I was wrong.

Hm....busy homework day.....almost done with my first lit paper that is due on Friday, about to start the second. Still need to practice piano today and finnish some biology before tomorrow.

Recently, I've been reading over Matthew in my devotions. It's been really great cause Matthew is really coming to life to me. So much of the Godspell script is taken from Matthew that no matter what I read, there is a moment in the show that I am reminded of. I would highly recommend reading over Matthew these next few weeks, if you are planning on seeing the show.

Speaking of which....Production week commences tomorrow!!! Very exciting and very unnerving...but I am really looking forward to the Production Nights! I am going to be sooo sad when it's all over. Man, I can hardly remember weekends without rehearsals! Please be praying that we complete a lot in this next week, but most importantly that we glorify God as we proform this show.

Well, I should go finnish my school.

Not that anyone reads this....

Okay, so Godspell went well today. After warming up, I was sent over to help my mom out with teaching the singing usher's their parts for Day by Day and Light of the World. They got everything super fast, it's really gonna be great.

Then we did fixes for the rest of the night. Seemed to me like we got alot done, but I don't really have anything to compare it to. At some point in the evening, I understudied for each of the girls. So that was cool, cause I had never really done Lauren before, and it had been awhile since I'd done Ally. I actually just got home from rehearsal...it was a long one! Tomorrow we have rehearsal from 9:30-4:30....yikes! But I am excited not only cause we are doing a run, (starting at oneish) but then I am going to frederick to hang out with my "second family" the Silards. It will be great fun. Sunday, I'll go to thier church, then come home in time for family night. Yeah, it may mess up my school week, but oh well. This is prolly the last time I'll get to go up before Godspell is over...so it's worth it.

I don't have anything else to say really....I need to go to sleep.....
