Lions, and Tigers...

...and tornadoes, OH MY!

So for anyone that didn't see the naitonal news yesterday, there were severe thunderstorms in our area (southern Wyoming/northern Colorado) which then formed into tornadoes. Wait, what?! Yes, tornadoes! Court was at work, I was at home snoozing after being up early for work. Luckily, there isn't not really that much damage (at least here in town) compared to the damage that was done in CO. It's been reported that SEVEN seperate tornadoes reaked havoc on some little CO towns. Here's a pic of one of the gas stations that got hit in Laramie, WY out by the Wal-Mart (where Court works).

As you can see, the roof is gone. Several HUGE trees were uprooted in the golf course that's about a block from our house, and several houses sustained damages in the neighborhood on the other side of the golf course. And on top of that, it started SNOWING after the brunt of the storm moved off toward Cheyenne. Snow? In May? Are you kidding me?!

Shoes...

OMG, shoes...these shoes RAWK!






Finally...

School is OVER over OVER! You have NOOO idea how relieved I am that I don't have to deal with the music department at school anymore. Although my grades aren't all that great, they're not all that bad either. My GPA is still over 3.5, so that's ok. And go figure, the teacher that hates me is the one that gave me the bad grade for the semester. Funny how that happens. *rolls eyes* I knew it would happen anyway though. But...I'm done! I don't have to deal with him anymore! YAY!!

Jury...done!

Yay, so my jury went fairly well yesterday. Flubbed a few words, but that's not bad for 8 pages of music (2 for one song, and 6 for the other). Went really pretty well in my opinion, but who knows what the faculty will have to say. Bummer that I won't get their comments until the fall though.

I wish (meme)

I thought it might be fun to start a meme about wishes...

I have a lot of wishes for my friends, and family members... for some people I know of and yet have never met and then also for people in general.

But rather than telling you my wishes, I would love to hear if you have any wishes for me! :") *LoL* Please keep them generally decent... I mean, you can wish me death by meteor (see photo), but really... what will that achieve? It's up to you, though...

Share three wishes you have for me, and if you care to hear any wishes I have for you... I hope you'll do this little meme, too!

Thanks for sharing with me...

English...

Why can't I sing in English!?!?!?!

Juries are tomorrow!!! ACK!!! So not ready! (music students have juries, where they sing/play for the faculty of their particular instrument, so for me, I get to sing in front of the 4 voice professors, oh fun *rolls eyes*) I've got my Italian song down pat (O del mio dolce ardor by Christoph Willibald von Gluck, from the Opera "Paride ed Elena" or Paris and Helen...think Helen of Troy...it's a pants roll, which means it's a woman singing a man's role), but I can't seem to memorize the words to my ENGLISH song! What is wrong with me?! Well here, you read the words and tell me if it would be so easy to memorize:

If my complaints could passions move,
Or make love see wherein I suffer wrong.
My passions were enough to prove,
That my despairs had govern'd me too long.
O Love, I live and die in thee,
Thy grief in my deep sigh still speaks.
Thy wounds do freshly bleed in me,
My heart for thy unkindness breaks.
Yet thou dost hope when I despair,
And when I hope, thou mak'st me hope in vain.
Thou say'st thou canst my harms repair,
Yet for redress, thou let'st me still complain.

What a doozie huh?
