Birthday Banana!

Okay, so basically Alyssa and I think that we're the most creative and amazing people ever for this idea...so I had to write a blog about it. Today is our friend, Cassie's, birthday. I had classes with her this morning, but I completely FORGOT that it was her birthday. So, when I got back to the room and good ole reliable facebook reminded me...I felt really bad. So, Alyssa grabbed a banana off of her desk and was like "let's give her this!" so then we wrote "Happy Birthday! Love Sarah & Alyssa" on it.


Later, gators!

Here comes the sun...doo doo doo doo...here comes the sun!

Hi there everyone! It is insanely beautiful out today. I found myself actually feeling a little bit too warm while walking on campus today, which is a welcome change! My day's been good thus far! I got to sleep in a little bit this morning because my German lab was canceled, and so I didn't have to get up until 9:00 to make my 10:00 German class. That went fine. I then went to the library for an hour to study a little bit for my German oral exam I had at noon. That also went fine. Except I said "si" instead of "ja" like a hundred times. I took Spanish for 5 years...I can't shake saying "si" for "yes"...it's rather silly. Then Alyssa and I went to lunch and then I went to work for a little bit. At around 4 I'm gonna go over to my friend, Kate's dorm and then we're going to walk to my credit union because my bank is an idiot. They sent me a new ATM card because of the Hannaford fiasco and then they sent me the wrong pin. Smart. Then Kate and I are going to dinner and to our Athena Consort rehearsal. We have a concert tomorrow, in which my dad, aunt, and grandparents are going to. So, I'm pretty excited about that!!! After my rehearsal, I don't know what's going on...but I think I'm going to call it a low-key evening because my ears are tingling which is usually the first sign I'm coming down with something...which is NOT a good thing right before my juries. Sooo, I'm going to try and ward off whatever is coming on. Alright, I'm gonna wrap this up. Later, gators!

Mama had a baby and her head popped off!!

I saw my first dandelion of the season today! I even did the whole song "Mama had a baby and her head popped off!"...it was that joyous of an occasion. It's so nice around campus when things start warming up. People are always lounging on the mall, taking walks, wearing less than 9 layers of clothing. You can defintely tell when spring is coming...this campus comes alive, truly. It's just too bad that for most of the school year we're buried under a blanket of snow and spend many months hibernating inside the warmth of our rooms. But, seeing a dandelion today really lifted by spirts! =)

On another note, I had a pretty eventful weekend. Friday night, one of my best friends from high school, Brian came up to get me. We then proceeded to Waterville where we saw Jesus Christ Superstar at the Waterville Opera House.
It's the story of Jesus set to rock-ish music. I'm sure you've all heard the song "Jesus Christ Superstar", yes it's from that show. It was excellent, as are all WOH productions. I liked it a lot. The show is playing at the Maine State Music Theater this summer as well so I am excited to see their production. It will be interesting to note the differences between the community theatre and the professional theatre. =)

Saturday I had an interview at American Eagle.
I already have my rec job back for the summer, but if I get the job at AE I could work nights and weekends there. I need all the money I can get. I thought the interview went very well and so I shall know soon about that. =) Alright, I need to go to recital lab in a few...so I'm gonna wrap this up.
Later, gators!!

Pretty crazy! I love this major, though. So I couldn't be happier to continue on. Not to mention that today I got a sight singing/ear training test back (which is a class I really struggle with) and I got an 86 on the test!!!! That may seem mediocre to you all, but that's the highest I've ever gotten in that class...in either semester! So I'm quite ecstatic about it. I guess the tutoring is paying off. The test is hanging on my & Lyssa's fridge right now! See...

Woohoo!! Alright, dinner time!

Goodbye, Pink Razr...

YAY! Today I ordered a new phone! I've had my lovely little pink Razr since we first got our contract with T-Mobile in July 2006 and it's time for a change. Though I love my Razr...I'm getting a Sidekick Slide and that's pretty sweeeet! My dad and brother extended their contracts (we have a family plan) a couple months back and so I extended mine today and ordered this aweeesome new phone because I got a pretty nifty check back from the federal government. Plus, my Razr is getting old and runs out of battery in like a nano-second so I'm just really excited. The Sidekick looks like so much fun. It has a FULL keyboard! Ever since we got unlimited texting with our plan I've become a texting machine and so the full keyboard will only help with my addiction. :-P I'll be sure to take pictures when it comes! I am so pumped! =) WAHOO!

SPA Ball!!!

Hola everyone! Last night was the School Of Performing Arts Ball! It was so much fun! It was held at the Sport's Cafe in downtown Orono, and it was a good time. I think my dress was really cute and springy...and I LOVE my shoes. Here are some pictures from the event:
Me in my dress @ Whitney's before the dance:

Anyways, it was a really fun time!!! =) Later, gators!

I broke my leg!

Just kiddin! =) I hope everyone is having a fun April Fools Day. The weather is lousy here...but other than that my April Fools Day has been fun.

Nothing too exciting is happening. Classes and being excited for the year to wind down is pretty much what I've been up to. I just want summer. Here. NOW. Oh well...it'll be here soon enough.

Okay...well, I need to go practice.
Later, gators!
