Doctor Who Sadness

This is gonna be a really short blog cause I have lots to do and another class to go to in like 45 min but I NEED to write this!!! I have been watching Doctor who for a while now - which you all should know cause it's at the bottom of my blog post every time but today I finished Season 2 and I'm not kidding you - i CRIED! I loved the character of Rose and am soooo sad that she is gone!! (AND HE DIDN"T GET TO TELL HER HE LOVED HER!!!!!!) I was also sad that there was suddenly a new character... they could have waited for the next episode...

I will continue watching but I was just sad...

tonight will be weird cause most of my friends have stuff going on so I will probs watch Enchanted and chill on the internet - possibly new video?? not much to talk about though so probably not...

Okay need to go to class now!

Much Love and Hugs,
Chrissy

Crazy Driving To Come

So basically I am starting to really freak out about going to Immersion next week. I know I haven't talked about this and if you are confused well - here is a little reasoning behind it. As a part of the education program at my college every elem. educ. student has to complete some diversity experiences. Because i'm in the block at this moment - it allows the department to pull us all (about 30 students) out of our classes and send us to the cities to complete an immersion in some inner city elementary schools.

Now it's not the physical omg I'm go to an inner city school that is freaking me out - because really that's not it at all. What I am freaking out about is that I have no idea what they are going to expect of me and no clue exactly what I will be doing. now I know I should probably be blogging about this tomorrow becuase I have the meeting on my Clinical class that hopefully sheds some light on this subject but I seriously don't even know what I am supposed to be wearing let alone what I should be prepared to do. This all takes place starting a next Tuesday - not even a week from now.

The other thing stressing me out is all the travel comign up. Sadly not exciting travel but back and forth from St. Cloud to the cities. This weekend I'm going down to the cites with three of my friends to see the Rascal Flatts concert - it will be AWESOME but still kinda stressful to organize everyone and get them all to my house after the concert. It'll be really fun but I'm a little stressed as to how to meet up with all the relay peoples at some point and then making my way back to Sarah and then party it up at the concert.

So I will come back to St. Cloud on Sunday in order for me to go to class on Monday and then quick drive home right after my 2:40 class in hopes of missing the rush hour - which i am sure I will actually hit... yey for way too much driving - though it will be nice to have a car for a few days... I actually like long car trips but not back to back...

Okay well i am on paragraph 4 of tonight's art assignment - which is actually the 11th paragraph of our crazy art criticism paper - but I will explain that drama in my next blog when the paper is finished - probably this weekend.

Much Love and Hugs,

Guys who can sing = my favorite!

SO there are many reasons that I love college - but free amazing concerts - they definitely rank pretty high up there!

Tonight I got the opportunity to go to the Inpulse Concert here at CSB. They are an all male a capella group and are absolutely amazing! Just four guys and their voices singing a bunch of amazing songs - a great night! They sang everything from "Boondocks" - Little Big Town (probs my favorite) to "I'm in Love with a Girl" - Gavin DeGraw. Great music and great people - I couldn't have asked for a better night. I didn't stop smiling the entire concert and Jenna and I raced back to my room to buy both of their CDs on iTunes!

Which brings me to the point of me loving musical guys. I mean a guy can be totally great and everything but seriously that ability to sing just puts him over the edge! Being able to share that love of music is something that is really important to me. ;)

Also I created this really interesting artwork today for my Art Principles class. We had to create a paper collage about some event that is prominent in our lives. I ended up doing mine about the confusion of the last few weeks - a picture is coming but it's dark right now in the room and we are watching the Wedding Date. I'm am seriously proud of this piece of art! and I don't usually like any part that I make - hehe.

SO I am going to go watch the rest of the movie but I will edit this post tomorrow or write another and include the picture. First Johnnie football game tomorrow!!!

Much Love and Hugs,

The Power of Music and Sadness

So I thought about erasing that last post but in reality that is what I was feeling at the time so I am going to leave it - just wanted to add something:

I just spent two hours in a music studio in the basement of the BAC. There is no phone signal, no internet, blank walls and just a piano and a piano bench. Let me say that there is nothing more therapeutic than that. I just sat down thinking i would just sing to my ipod but I did bring a couple of piece of sheet music to attempt to play. Well two hours later I have learned a new song on the pian0 - the WHOLE thing! That is huge for me cause learning new songs usually takes one to two weeks. I learned White Houses by Vanessa Carlton - an amazing musician! Just sitting down there and listening to her through my ipod and then hearing her music come through my fingers on the keyboard was amazing!

I went there feeling stressed and almost on the verge of tears and left literally smiling. That doesn't mean I'm magically cured of all my problems but I seriously feel like I can breath again! I'm still sad but the music running through my head is full of beauty and inspiration. I really need to use the music rooms more often in hopes of avoiding future break downs and just learning some fantastic music.

That is all for now, all the love (and music),

LARGE UPDATE - slightly emo

So I have been wanting to write a really long update post but seriously I keep waiting cause so many big things have been happening lately. SO I will attempt and apologize if it seems really disconnected:

I moved back to CSB and LOVE our new room. It is done in all lime green and aqua and looks amazing. It's the same general set up from last year but we have new shelves and random other new decorations!

I missed my friends a LOT and absolutely love hanging out with them everyday. I forgot how amazing it is to just run down to Jenna's room with exciting stories or have random people come over at any time of day.

Classes are really amazing but there is a ridiculous amount of homework. That is half the reason this weekend rocks - having a whole extra day to do homework makes me super happy - yeah I"m a nerd...

Okay so as I'm writing this - i find that i really don't want to just go through the whole last 2 weeks of my life. As awesome as some of the days have been, some of them really sucked so I really don't' want to go into that all right now.

I don't think I really meantion the boy I like in a while but yeah... I got to see him yesterday :). It was a really fun time but it makes me sad that tomorrow his is returning to moorhead and I have no idea when I will see him again... and the end of the night didn't go exactly how I thought it would. SO yeah... basically have no clue where we stand and am discovering it's a LOT harder to know that he is just ten minutes away from me and I can't see him then when he is 2 and 1/2 hours away... ugh... I don't know. I also got so iffy information today that I shouldn't have pushed to figure out so it's my fault that I am doubting everything today. hopefully I get so see him one more time before he leaves but who knows what is going on. I am just really happy that we got to hang out last night with some of our best friends so yeah.

Also I haven't talked to one of my best friends for over two weeks and it's really starting to get to me. Sometimes boys just piss me off but at this moment I really need his advice but I can't just call him up and ask him cause then I'd have to ask him why he is being such a poop and that is just not the conversation I need right now.

I should just call laura but yeah... College is hard - but I can totally deal with that, some of the other things in life are harder. I really don't need all the distractions but I can't help it. I like this boy - so obviously he will be a distraction ;) friends though - sometimes i can't be fighting with them - especially when my friend doesn't even know how hard it is for me - and I wonder if he even cares...

SO this post is going really emo and I am gonna start crying so I am going to leave it at that - love to all,

Chrissy
