The love of Classical

Over time I some times forget how much I enjoy something and today that thing is my love for Classical music.
On occasion I am looking for Some soft music to fill the empty sound around Me. 80% of I yr. cal music does not scratch my itch on those days. ln giving up I realized what I was looking for was the purest music, the music that isn't Covered by powerful verse.
The odd thing is when I want classical I usually am looking for boroque, yet I do not Own one Bach song (he was my favorate!)
Anyway, I am now VERY close to being packed for UMass. Everything I will NEED the first week is in boxes with the exception of a few things that I have not bought yet.
Surprisingly, I actually find this year more liberating than last. I now know what I need (for the year) and what Can just stay home. Art supplies are almost completely none existant because of Graphic Design and Digital Media. Even the stressful Classes (iE TYPE I) seem to want to workout for Me. I am just having a really good feeling about this year, or at the least, this semester.

We pack up the Car tomorrow night and I am off 6am Sunday morning!

Back Home, Leaving Soon

I am back home, for what short of a time this will be. Kate's house was a lot of fun! I have missed her a lot and am going to miss her again soon. She is a good friend to me and I appreciate everything she does for me. She, in fact, is one of the few people I would not be able to not be friends with.....

Reasons why:

• She is Honest (though some times blunt it is nice for her to say how she feels)
• She doesn't just think of only herself.
• She confides in me (THIS one is MY FAVORITE because she is really beginning to open up!)

Some times Kate can come off as a little cold, but I feel as though she is actually really sensitive. I know I scare her a bit, I do to everyone at times, but I think she understands that that is my way of dealing with things. It has been officialized that she IS NOT coming back to UMass though I am truly happy that she is in classes and is not just waiting around for next semester!

In other news I am beginning to get ready for my trip back to UMass. I completely forgot the fact that my mom had a doctor's appointment and would be home today or I wouldn't have asked for the special drop off to my sister's house. Either way I am glad because I get to see the babies before I go to school....more good news is my sister made my orthodontist appointment next Friday so I HAVE to come home for Abigail's birthday party!!!!
I am actually kind of scared for this new year. I still have to fix my schedule, I have to work with a new roommate and I have all of my friends so far away. I need to do well and I am not even sure if my schedule is going to work out! The only real good news is my mom HAS to get me some good cosmetics (and such) so I can "get along with my roommate"...BRILLIANCE! I already have some nice things from Kristen and I have a really cool nail thingy....i am going to buy more nail thingies!...lol

Kate's house, Day one

Today is day one of my weekend at Kate's house. I believe our game plan is going to the beach, but right now I am hanging around her Mom (and aunts') house while her mom does some construction with the other "adults" and Kate does some yard work with her brother (they work for a lady). I am wondering if I should have gone with Jake and Kate but I didn't want to hold them up because I was no where near ready this morning...I hear Mrs. Riddle's cell and I wonder if it is Kate, If it is I can't write long....Kate is on her way....
Any way, tomorrow we are going to the big BI (Kate talk for, Block Island) and I worked around the house all day Friday so my mom would give me the money for the ferry...anyway, I am going to need to go now..I will post later if I can!

What to bring

I have been conflicted on many things, as usual, and now I am starting to wonder what to bring.
One would expect this sentence to be finished with where I need to bring these items, but the answer is two places.
I need to find out what I am going to bring to not only school, but to Kate's house. Her mom is coming tomorrow night and I have no idea what to bring, or how long I am staying. I think I am going to be staying till Monday but she has not made that clear yet.... even so, these decisions are not as important as what I will be bringing for next semester....
I have decided to stop letting my hope out, that some miracle will happen and Kate is really my roommate, and move on to accepting the fact that Jackie is my new roommate. Even though this is what I am wishing for in the next school year, It is time I move on and stop saying it out loud. The maybes are really getting old and I will now start referring to Jackie as my roommate (unless the miracle happens of course!....lol).
Moving on, I am now in the process of deciding what things I am going to bring to school and what things are staying home. It is already clear that I am going to be taking 2 cars. My plan is to put mom and dad in the car with ALL of my linens and bedding (including pillows, foam thingys, and blankets), while everything else will be with kristen and me...
I have to go shopping anyway, so I plan on getting all of my "important" room things (and expensive things) into my room and bring up the bedding (it is light but takes up A LOT of space) later, hopefully making the part where EVERYONE is going to be moving in, less stressful for me. If I move in early enough maybe I will just walk to the car and get my bedding while I wait for a good time to get groceries!....either way there are things that my mom isn't going to want me to take (bike, rice cooker, DDR...) that I could not get for WEEKS before mom finally comes....sure I doubt the fact that mom won't be taking me home on the weekends, but I am not taking chances (and I am going to Sam's for dinner....in south bumbum)
Things I need to remember....
Last year I forgot my TOOTHBRUSH!!!

Soooo Confused!!!

At first the entry to this was suppose to be "My new roommate" because I had gotten a facebook message from a girl, Jackie, saying that she was my roommate and she had just gotten the letter, but now I am really confused because Kate's facebook says that she just got a letter on her class schedule.
What does this mean? I was just getting over the initial shock that confirmed all my hopes for Kate changing her mind on UMass and this comes up...I know this doesn't mean the classes are at UMass but she has not changed any of her things on facebook that says she is a UMass student.
I may have heard her talking about taking classes some where else but I have not heard anything in a long time. I am conflicted and still don't feel I should directly ask her. She will tell me when the time comes.
I did, however, ask her what her classes were. Hoping that this will get me the answers I need. I really have no idea what to think of this...I mean....what is going on that I had not been told....was she planning to tell me in person and that is why she is being so proactive on seeing me so soon (besides the fact we haven't seen each other for more than an hour since school).
URGGGGG..........Why must I hold on and hope all the time!....I am going to check my UMass email and see if I have any messages on this, and later I will check COIN!
~~~~~~~
Everything past this point is assuming that Kate is NOT going to UMass and I have Jackie as a roommate!
~~~~~~~
It seems as though Jackie and I are going to get along fine. She is friends with Amber and our talking online is going well. I am going to be taking the fridge, vacuum, DDR and my rice cooker and she is going to be taking the microwave and the tv. The only thing that concerns me is the fact that she is a UMass cheerleader. I know this shouldn't concern me in college, but this means I have to stay neat and clean! I need to look presentable because she seems to be the type where that is important.
Though this works in my favor because now my mom HAS to get me the cleaning things that I want AND some cosmetics that I want so my roommate and I will get along....This could also be a good thing because we may go to the gym together some days and I will get use to keeping a clean room as well as not being a scum bag!
...We will see how this all works out....this is the most probable....

Big Oops

Today was the day where I have made my first mistake on the road (alone) when I actually got yelled at by the other driver.
I was sure I had made a mistake right after I took the action, but I had already started changing lanes so I knew it was too late. The other car that would have been behind me changed lanes because what I didn't notice (or think of) was the light in front of us changing from green to yellow. So upon making my lane switch, I had to slow down soon after....Giving the couple pulled up behind me at a pretty fast speed before they switched over, I had done a big no no....and...I sat waiting to get yelled at. I knew it was coming....
I had unintentionally cut them of and was sitting, just staring infrount of me as the man in the passenger seat was yelling....I still don't know now if he was talking directly to me or to the driver but I was freaking out a little bit.
I know this is no excuse but I have only had my license for a year and really didn't start actively driving until a couple of months ago (and a couple of weeks alone). Though I am glad that I got yelled at because if they didn't yell at me I wonder if I would be as careful next time not to do it again. Even though I knew I did something wrong wile driving, would I have reacted the same way if I didn't get yelled at.....
I am still a little buzzed from it and was really glad when some one pulled in front of me when I was going towards the second light.
So that is what I learned today....Pay more attention when switching lanes....though the ride home was more fun because no one would let me over till I was almost at my street...though I was not in the way that time because of the fact, the guy behind me probably got stuck at the light and gave me just enough time to do what I needed to....

That was the big event.....I will talk on the shower later....hopefully I won't forget!

The Fair

As I stated yesterday, I went to the fair this evening. We did not do much (in fact we almost didn't go at all!) Abigail has a couple of new stuffed animals and I think I got screwed by the dart people (one of those booths) so nothing surprising. I did pretty well on the darts though...at least better than I had expected.
I have also decided to save the drawing of Roma and Micheal till the wedding....and I still have so much to do ....coolio....going to bed soon.....dont know when....but soon.....

Weekend with Kriddle

I am REALLY excited about next weekend because I have just made plans to stay over my friend Kate's house (in Charlstown)! I, quote "don't have a choice in the matter" which means there is no way I can not go! She had origianlly invited me for this weekend because we are suppose to be meeting up at the Washington County Fair tomorrow night because Josh Gracin is playing (I have seen him once before at the story teller concerts at cat country 98.1) Any way this should all be really fun!
Other events for this weekend are the drawing I have been putting off, I really NEED to do it tomorrow, and Roma's (my cousin Micheal's future wife) wedding shower. The shower is the real reason that I could not go to Kate's house this weekend and she could not understand why I HAVE to go....I had also called up my mom earlier this evening and told her the same thing....it does not seem like my mom understands either.
It is not any other reason but family. I explained to Kate that my dad's brother (and family) is his only living relative and it is very important to all of us to stay in touch. Even though I may have four cousins on my dad's side (not including their children) they only have two. Family is really important as it is, and we really don't have a large family! Let's not even mention that I would like her to go to my bridal shower one day, and it would be rude of me to ask her if I can't bother for hers. I like Roma a lot, she is really cool (and a photographer!) and also...I missed Christmas with the family and we did not do easter!
I still have all my projects and no idea how to finish them all. Here is a list of things that I need to do off the top of my head!

1. Wednesday Jamie is coming over and I am drawing her in a ballet pose...
2. By Wednesday I would also like to have Jamie's dress finished (that I now have a design plan to).....
3. As well as a clean room
4. I need to find my swim suite
   
5. I need to make Melinda, Sam and my hat!!!
6. I need to make Amber's shirt
7. I need to make a list of things I need for school
8. I need to fix my purple bike (it is older)....make a rack as well
   
9. and I need to pack

All of these things, listed, don't seem that bad, but really this is so much stuff I need to get done int a small amount of time. I am wondering if I am going to be able to go over Kristen's house at all till my projects are done....It really all depends on when move in day is, I may not even pack till the day before.
What I do know is how long these things are going to take....Depending on how well the dress goes, it can be a half day to a day project, the shirt about the same. The hats I can finish in less time and, even assuming it takes as long as it did on the plane, I should be able to get these all done in a day for each........GAAA it seems like I have no time, but in the same thought I have almost two weeks!!!

P.S. Thinking about doing one of those movies where I make it go really really fast for cleaning my room....maybe doing it with all "big" projects and then I can post them up and it will be like my life quick...though the room would have to be taken from hours of film.....I would really like to do move in day, but, I doubt it would work unless I left all of my stuff out and then had my mom leave so I could set up my room and unpack...I guess I could make it shorter by having the movie about how I RE-arrange the stuff back to how I want it
.....
I still hope that Kate will end up (magically) at school on the first day, I keep having dreams of her moving into Pine Dale with me. I was talking about it with Kristen because I feel bad feeling this way....She said that not everything is rational and even though it is there doesn't mean it is bad........I feel like pleading with Kate to stay in school every day, but I also feel that my actions would be clouded by the fact that I would also LOVE to have her as my roommate!...but that is enough confliction for today

The new plan

Today Kristen was able to supply me with the oven clay I need to start my new line of things I am trying to sell. Right now I am going to make pendents, charms (on bracelets?) and stitch markers....I am hoping that these will look better and I will finally have found something that will put my crafts in the positives.
Also, I am going to possibly take a jewelry class next semester, thought this all depends on weather or not my classes switch over, and if my teacher's are ok with me leaving early and being late!

RECAP ON FLORIDA:
I said that I would state what went on in Florida in my next entry.....
What happened was practically nothing. It was basically four days hanging out with my mom and grandfather. It also marked (at the end) the time where I would finally get all of my self projects done....I am realizing now I didn't have as much time as I had thought.
The good news is I do have a set date for at the least one thing. I am going to draw Jamie (my neighbor) on Wednesday of next week. By the time I do that I would like to have a dress done for her....this all just makes me realize how I don't have much time before school starts!

Decisions

While I was in Florida this weekend I had finally made a decision on what I am going to do with my classes.
Even though I HATE the thought of only having 5 classes I came up with a way I can feel better about it and make my weekends more durable. In stead of my 6 hour class on Friday (we are talking from like 9-2:50) I will be changing the class time to Tuesday and Thursday nights. This clears up my weekdays so I can now sign up for the Honor's Art History I have been trying to get into. The only issue now is having a night class every day in the week.
Though, this could also work out for the best. All night classes could give me the potential to only work during my favorite hours AND I could talk to my teachers about getting me a temporary copy of CS3. I want to write more tonight but I am also very tired....so I will fill in my details later....
