To all those who love me: a moment of truth,

                              I am a Whore!

As I sit here in a hotel room in Missouri,

I am wondering what I have gotten myself into.  I do believe that the next two years are going to try me in every way possible.  There are two staples that I plan to lean on in my time of need: breathtaking choral music and colorguard equipment.  No matter how frustrated I get, I know that these two things can calm and focus me.

Orientation starts early, so I am off to bed. 

I love and miss you all!!

After living in Las Vegas...

Sherwood is kinda boring.  Although I am finding ways to entertain myself that even vegas did not provide!

In one week, I will be making the trip up to Columbia, MO to start my life as a graduate student.  How different will I become?  Will I grow smarter?  Will my vocabulary increase?  Will my singers actually do what I tell them to do?  All of these will be answered in the next two years to come.

To my past two roommates:  Words can not express how much I miss you!  You provided me a household without judgement.  I believe that I took that for granted, but now I know just how important that really was.  Thank you!

Thoughts for the days to come...

To my best friend, I have grown accustomed to your face and the laughter that you bring me daily.  How will I make it without you.

To my roommie/best friend, You are a foundation that I need and rely on..."it would be you!"

To the one that I lost, Know you are loved and thought about.  You were and will always be my first.  Remember the night of Grey's...it was perfect.

To the one with only a few more days, You have made me smile so much I actually hurt.  However we end, know that it was worth it.  I might even start working on that turtle quilt.

To the one I have yet to meet, With mutual friends and killer typing communications...I am thrilled and a little nervous about our first encounter.  Hopefully, it will be very soon.

With every new circumstance that comes my way, I hope that I see the potential and live it to the wildest it can be.  Every change causes a end of some sort, but a new beginning awaits the soul.  Learn from your past, Live for the present, and Love always!!
