i went to a musical last night in woodbury...it was pretty funny stuff...but the whole time i couldnt help but just keep looking off at this old man. . .

wrinkled and gray, hands folded in his lap, smirk on his face. . .his wife was sitting close to him and he looked so happy. he was simply satisfied..

i couldnt help but think about....just...who im going to be next to years and years from now...who i might be helping out of a seat or who will be helping me...and what kind of person i will be when ive lived so much more than i have..what kind of memories will i have made?

love -kels

waiting on a bagel in line today this song played..

When your long day is over
And you can barely drag your feet
When the weight of the world
Is on your shoulders
I know what you need
Bring it on home to me
You know I know you
Like the back of my hand
You know I'm gonna do
All that I can right here
Gonna lie with you
Till you fall asleep
When the morning comes
I'm still gonna be right here

im gunna miss these kids..



if you wanna see more pics go to my facebook ...

well. it hit me...it finally hit me. ive realized so much about myself in the last few days, not only has governors school inspired me it has taught me and opened me up to so many things that i didnt even know were options...its funny how you think youve got it all figured out, two seconds later everything changes..

im really going to miss everyone here..tomorrow is the last full day.. its so annoying how you finally get the hang of this type of "college" life and you start learning people and really enjoying yourslelf and then its over. im going to miss my little cubical in the painting studio. and coming home to a bunch of crazy sweet girls...im  going to miss laughing at and just watching all the drama kids, the many many nights in the lobby of piano playing and singing from the music kids..and of course the awesome art kids that have inspired me to do so much more.

so saturday ill be finished and hopefully totally moved out by about noon..

lets do something alright? i think a party will work...can you believe school starts back in less than a month..or atleast i think so....?

love-kels


Two hearts fading, like a flower.

And all this waiting, for the power.

For some answer, to this fire.

Sinking slowly. The water's higher.

Desire


With no secrets. No obsession.

This time I'm speeding with no direction.

Without a reason. What is this fire?

Burning slowly. My one and only.

Desire


You know me. You don't mind waiting.

You just can't show me, but God I'm praying,

That you'll find me, and that you'll see me,

That you run and never tire.

Desire-ryan adams

today was really laid back. no teacher...so i left and took a 2 hour nap!..

then later...

we watched the planets - a piano performance... it was really beautiful.. i have this thing for the piano.. there is something so beautiful about watching someone sway with that music in thier soul and watching them pour it out onto the keys..


nooow...im sitting here with a bunch of girls..listening to Usher..hes telling me to let it burn..heh.

Oh, why do they leave?

Oh, why do they leave?

On the day that you needed them the most

Simple cards and things

Rose-colored sunsets, no flowers for me

Simple cards and things

Rose-colored sunsets, no flowers for me


Lover, why do you leave

Lover, why do you leave

On the day I want you for me?


Say, say it ain't so

That he will take you tomorrow

And I will sit here today (The worst)

Simple cards and things

Rose-colored sunsets, no flowers for me

Simple cards and things

Rose-colored sunsets, Curtains for me


Lover, why do you leave

Lover, why do you leave

On the day I want you to be

..well its been a good day, ive been spending a lot of time painting and thinking...painting and thinking really go hand in hand...you cant really paint without getting lost in some thought about what you are trying to convey or just simply thinking about something that caught your eye..


sooo.... i need some volounteers to become snipers and destroy the construction workers that tend to use loud machinery that in turn tends to wake me up every morning...any  takers?
love you-kels

-kels

im sittin here in the library wondering what in the world i have to say that would grab your attension...something that will make you laugh or simply make you think...

i  guess ill start off by saying that i miss all of you so much... God has reeeally been showing me the huge importance of being surrounded by people that know why they are here...know that this life isnt about nothing...that we have a definite purpose. I  am completely surrounded with teenagers that have no idea what they really want...but they are also all very nice people..and i enjoy so much meeting people...its one of my favorite things to do..especially people that are so talented..

ive been so lost in thought today just about the people here that ive met and the people that i will meet throughout my life...and i dont want to sound pessimistic but so many of them seem so very lost...happy but lost...like they are searching and searching for anything to fill them up..also..ive been trapped in thoughts of rain..i know, that sounds kinda lame..maybe..but i love it..i truly do...the other day it poured down big fat drops of water...i watched them fall from the edge of a building until they landed on my face..so very beautiful..it rained only a few minutes ago..everything is cooled off and greener..and dont forget that my hair is soaked..

we had parent day yesterday ...that was so very surreal to me. it went by so fast..we walked through the gallery..i did a painting all for keato-burrito...my mom of course was like aww kelseey!!!...i think they all miss me:-) i was home for a little while too and mom made my favorite homemade soup and i packed up a bunch of it...had it for supper tonight too...anything is better than mcallie..ha. i didi my laundry...and layed on my bed with emily...she left for ecuador this morning and i pretty jealous..she will have been and come back and also be on her way to ireland while im still here at mtsu..how crazy is that?

so...something interesting that happens almost everyday here in the lovely mtsu library is STORY TIME..ha..its halarious ..our latest book was...Do Little Mermaids Wet the Bed?...talk about funny stuff...my friend john reads them to us..all he has to do is open it and ill laugh for 10 minutes straight..i put up a picture of him reading..

all in all governors school is an amazing experience...very mind opening... new fresh outta college teachers that are pretty awesome..new friends..and lots of junk food and dance parties:-)  love-kels

but only for a while...

i uploaded some pictures of my crazy governors school friends...check it out!

i love and miss all of you..-kels

i thought this was so neat...its by andy goldsworthy...he does nature art.

he takes the simplest things and makes them unique

he let the rain fall on him..

fall leaves...

just thought you might be interested in something a little different from your typical art..:-)

write me a letter!!

-kels

hey everybody...

well. here i am in the MTSU library...its so weird being stuck on the campus that ive been on forever..but in a way its nice.. i dont feel like im in college at all..but hey its only day 2..

my schedule is pretty cool....i start my dayt off (usually) with a shower. Then i run off to the mccally (?) lunchroom and eat lots of fruit, because it atleast looks real..

then i go to the todd art bldg for  my painting class..i have my own little studio thing set up..we havent done anything much yet....just set up and played cards ..the art professors havent exactly made it here yet (they lack in organization- we go tour schedules today as opposed to the vocal and music kiddos recieving it the day the arrived..ha)...so we just hang out and talk..yesterday we snuck around the bldg and ravaged through the leftover artwork and explored any open doors..after that i wander around with many new friends...until lunchtime rolls around and off i go back to mccally..

after lunch i have "art appreciation"...thats an adventure...our teacher enjoys being enthusiastic and assigning lots of reading. im actually going to be tested and my grade will determine my college credit....ooo.

afer that we go back to our studios to paint..on mon. and wed. i have painting...on tues. and thurs. i have Advanced Drawing..so today was drawing...it was neat...the teacher was actually there for most of the class and we were given an object to draw every 3 minutes...13 total ..and had to fit it together the best way we could to make a piece of "aesthetically" pleasing art...:-)

after classes...i have suppa and usually lots of free time.. tonight theyre showing a movie..

love you -kels

long drive home today on 96 was perfect...60mph, sunshine, air, and music..what more could you want out of summer?

....well.

-kels

so, i was sitting on my bed and it hit me that i needed detergent and hand soap.. .. half way to the store i forgot what i needed and went to hastings instead..ha..once again... procrastination at its very best...

Dear Chicago,
You'll never guess.
You know the girl you said I'd meet someday?
Well, I've got something to confess.
She picked me up on Friday.
Asked me if she reminded me of you.
I just laughed and lit a cigarette,
Said "that's impossible to do."
My life's gotten simple since.
And it fluctuates so much.
Happy and sad and back again.
I'm not crying out to much.
Think about you all the time.
It's strange and hard to deal.
Think about you lying there.
And those blankets lie so still.

The wind's feeling real these days.
Yeah, baby, it hurt's me some.
Never thought I'd feel so blue.
New York City, you're almost gone.
I think that I've fallen out of love,
I think I've fallen out of love . . . with you. -ryan adams...

3 days and ill be gone until july 15th..

i am the epitome of procrastination ...im wasting my time on itunes and phusebox when..

im moving out for over a month... (yea, that hasnt even hit me yet)

and i have to work all day tomorrow... that leaves me with saturday..ha..cest le vie
-love-kels

Took a walk with you
In the shadow of my shoes
Danced around the broken blues
In the dirty summer rain
Moonlight on the cars
Parked in single file at bars
With a thick and rosy smoke
Waving its busted hand

Bringing you down, can't bring you down
Bring you down, can't bring you down
Bring you down, can't hear the sound
Run through the river and into town
Pretty little moon with it's head hung down
Chin up. Cheer up. -ryan a.

--------------everyday has lyrics-------------------

what a looong day. i havent done anything...ive been thinking alot about governors school and i keep finding myself just wanting to go ..get there and be happy..just get away from everything.... all i did today was swing under a tree, listen to music, and paint.. . .summer is alright with me

Nemanjas goodbye party was so fun...especially when everyone was gone and the rest of us layed around on couches and played games...then..brian drove me to my car and we threw cheese at peoples mailboxes..ha.. and you cant forget reading the labels of aquafina bottles seductively..ha..

i think tomorrow morning at 6 a bunch a kiddos are meeting at cracker barrell to say some goodbyes to nemanja and brian...so come ..you might see me there (i dont like mornings)

love -kels
