So, the other night after curfew my RA has
everyone meet in our hallway. It’s been raining really heavily all
afternoon and everything is extreemly saturated. So we decide to sneak
out and go play in the rain… yea, the entire 2nd floor snuck out. So,
we get out there and I know what you’re thinking, “they’re gonna go
play in the rain? that’s a girly thing to do”. Yea, until you factor in
that we are playing tag…. tackle tag… If you get tackled you are it.
Guys hit hard. I didn’t make many tackled, but there’s no doubt I
earned respect, taking hard hits from 200 pound guys. We then played
smear the queer. For those of you who don’t know what that is, we tied
a shirt into a ball and threw it up in the air. Whoever catches it has
to run… everyone else is trying to tackle him. When he gets tackled he
throws it up int he air and the whole game starts over . It’s a man’s sport.

I love Lee

In other news, I’ve been playing alot of ultimate frisby. I’ve been playing raquet ball and volleyball and DDR.

A girl let me borrow a saxaphone that she can’t play. It turned out
to be a nice one so now I’m teaching myself to play again (I used to
play in the 8th grade. Violin is still coming well.

Well, I am now an official student of LEE and a member of the school of music. No longer without responsibility I think that makes me cool, but I'm not sure. I am taking 15 hours and Ihave 2 classes that  I don't get credit hours for (it's a music major thing). Plus on top of that I'm suposed to practice 5 hours a day on each instrument of my focus. That includes Piano, Vocals, and Guitar. I have a busy semester, but I think I'm up for it. It will definately be a growing experiance.

I love music. While I was getting my schedule strait with my advisor
I heard a girl auditioning for the school of music. She had a vocal
emphasis. All she was doing was singing Amazing Grace to a simple
piano, but it was so amazing. I just sat there trying to keep my mouth
shut because it's was so awesome. I love music. The purity and emotion
of it.

I'm going to like LEE.

Getting settled in. It's exciting and stressful. All my stuff is in
my room and I'm getting things organized and settled. I went through
most of freshman orientation today. I have just a little tomorrow I
think. I found something out, I think I am basically going to have 3
instruments of study. Primary is guitar, Secondary is Voice, and Piano
is required. That is exciting because I didn't think I was going to get
to do voice stuff but it looks like I will! I think I'm going to like
it here. I'll let everone know once I'm registered and stuff. I don't
know my classes yet.

 I auditioned for the School of Music
yesterday. I think I did ok. I probably made it in on probation meaning
that if I do well over the next semester I can re-audition and probably
be accepted fully next semester, and they would credit me the first
semester as a music major without any loss for not being fully in at
first. I will know monday if I made it or not. I register on Tuesday.
Classes start Wednesday.

I'M AT LEE!!!!

I took a MOTORCYCLE SAFETY COURSE this past weekend and learned how to ride a motorcycle. There was a test at the end... I passed, and did well. It's funny going from losing contole while walking a motocycle across a parking lot (letting it idle and 3/4 pull you) to taking a 135 degree turn at 15mph and only having a 2 foot path to travel and nailing it, and all this in 2 days (which isn't that easy).

I learned a LOT. Anyone considering getting a motorcycle or who is
interested SHOULD take this course. It's amazing. I think I've decided
to get a Honda Rebel. It's a smaller bike, but after riding 250's for
the last 2 days, I'm sure the Honda Rebel 250 is not short on power. It
can go interstate speed for somewhat limited periods of time (like
maybe out to the Jensen's kind of riding). This bike is $3000 new, so
I'm hoping to pick up a used one for much cheaper…. If anyone knows of one let me know.

Well, I finished my last day at DQ today, yet it was not without frustration. When employees leave DQ, and are in good standing with the management it is customary for the owner to buy the leaving employee a cake. I did not receive one.

I'm not sure if I have ever felt as under appreciated as I have in my time at DQ. I feel as though I have been under payed, overworked, and under appreciated. When an employee works somewhere for a year, is never late, and NEVER misses a shift, and only called in sick twice you would think this employee would be valued. Especially since this is EXTREMELY rare behavior for a fast food employee. I also can work every position (Grill, Chill, Front and Drive through) while most only work one or two positions. So, being "valued" as I am I got a raise. I got a raise to a whopping $6 and hour. While other people I work with (Rebecca included) get far superior raises in a much shorter amount of time.

Why does someone who only works drive through, and only works it for a month, get a 75 cent raise?

I don't know, maybe I'm overreacting, but I feel extremely.... abused.
Like they saw that I wasn't going to quit because of my low pay so they
decided that they wouldn't give me one. I hate when I try to do the
right thing and I get stepped on for it.

1Peter 2:19--For God is pleased with you when, for the sake of your conscience, you patiently endure unfair treatment.

Yea, but look what I can do....
Gimp power.

Look at me owning withing the time limit!!!!!!!!

So who else is addicted to MineSweeper????

My people would  whoop up on your people!!!
I have way too much time on my hands.... and some strange friends.

The blurry thing in the back is Adam. You can tell in the full size one, but the shrinkted version blurs him.

For all you complainers out there *cough cough amanda* Russ is now undoubtably orange.

I'm off to bed.

There we go... not all of them loaded earlier...

I've been taking lots of pics and doing lots of gimping... tell me what you think (they are my newest pics). I only loaded my favorites.

Everyone should visit my website RecklessMortal.com. I just put up the gallery, and once I get my digital camera I will continue to post pictures.

I took my Statistics test today.
I think I passed, but not by much. In the intire statistics book there was only one subject that we didn't cover over the year, and we didn't cover it because in past years there were only 2 or 3 (out of 75) multiple choice questions over it.
The test went like this:

• 75 Multiple Choice-50%


• 5 Free Response-25%


• 1 Really Hard Free Response-25%

Guess what that one REALLY big free response was over... Chi^2!!!!! Curses, Execrations, and Maldiction on this cursed thing called "Chi Squared." The ONE thing we didn't go over. I still think I passed though.

A.P. English is Thursday, and I don't know how I'm going to do on it. It's not even a test you can study for. All you do is write essays (which I don't have a natural tallent for) and interpret poems and find things like "Tone" and "Motifs." We'll see how I do.

But this makes me feel better:

A TERRIBLE thing happened. I came home and I see the pan of brownies on
the counter. I run excitedly to them and throw off the tin foil
covering to see that the contents had defunct, all but for a piece the
size of a small walnut. In my anguish I cried out. As my torment passed
it gave way to madness. As I flew up the stairs I had a savage
countenance. My furry had blinded me from all but my sortie. Revenge. I
approached my mother. That creature that bore me in her womb for 9 tumultuous
months. With terror in her eyes she forfeited the location of my prize.
She had hid it in the pantry.

My Choir and ensemble advanced, but my duet and solo didn't :-) & :-(

Actually it was my solo and duet that I wanted to go the most, but it's still cool. I'm off to prom now.

I'm done with fine arts (I'll know the results soon) and now I'm getting ready for prom.

WHAT A DAY!!!
