1. Went to Sala cast bonding and experienced a freaking amazing buffet. We were all sssso excited...
2. Saw True West!!
3. Got yelled at for laughing at some stupid guy on the sidewalk.
4. Passed a crying girl dressed as a cheerleader. (Or a football player, I'm not really sure, she had those black stripes on her cheeks. Either way it was funny.)
5. Got my car pounded on because I almost hit some kids in the crosswalk. Whoops.
6. Went to Wal-Mart and purchased, among other things, three packages of juice boxes.

Emotional Journeys.
Tomorrow in class:
Sing a song (a cappella. awesome.) to a partner (who doesn't know they're your partner until it's your turn to sing.) where you must take them on an "emotional journey".
Of course, some of the kids in my class and I have been discussing tomorrow's activities and have been coming up with song choices to sing with particularly strong emotional journeys.
Some options include:
- Row, Row, Row Your Boat (a figurative AND literal journey. Thank you, Cameron.)
- Happy Birthday (a previous audition song of mine... which is a story for another day.)
- The National Anthem (it's already a cappella. excellent.)
- Smelly Cat (From Friends. Thank you, Rebecca.)
- We Three Kings (a little holiday joy...as well as another song with a literal and figurative journey.)
I would also like to add "Puff the Magic Dragon" to this list, just for kicks.

I've Missed You.
Hair dye, welcome back to my life.
At the end of the summer, I almost made a deal with my mother that I wouldn't dye my hair for a year if I could get my last disaster fixed by someone who actually knew what they were doing. In the end, my insanity won out and I decided that one year was way too long to go without destroying my hair at least once.
So now, I'm back in the game.
In honor of the first hair dye of the school year, here's a short montage of the ridiculous decisions I have made in the past:
The summer before college. Too lightttt.
Welcome to school. Dye your hair blue.
Bored with blonde... let's go brunette!
The brown is fading? No big deal. Use a permanent reddish-brown!
Moment of weakness: Back to the hair salon. Starting the journey back to blonde.
Multiple trips to the hair salon later: Back to Blonde.
Starting off the summer: a few purple-y streaks... basically blonde.
Early June: Black streaks. (Read: BAD IDEA) Within 48 Hours: a dose of Color Oops, leaving me with brown streaks. :)
California: AWFUL IDEA.
The first attempt at fixing the ridiculousness that is the previous picture. My face= my feelings about this color.
A really light color does it, and, once again, we're back to blonde. (slightly too-light blonde, but blonde.)
Which is about where we are right now, except for when my mom tried to put low-lights in my hair and they didn't really show up.
Tonight, the saga continues...

Friday Insanity.
I have been a walking talking mess today.
It is 12:29.
So far, I have been running around all day in my tie-dye "clown pants" (Thank you, Emily), mentally screwing up my class schedule (I'm not completely idiotic, our teacher keeps changing what day our class is), which means that I have not yet even brushed my teeth/gotten ready to live my life, and I have trekked across our ridiculously large campus for no good reason only to end up here, in the music library, updating my blog because I don't actually have class. (Which is actually kind of nice.)
I don't know where my brain has been for the past month, but I'd like to stop by and pick it up from wherever I left it.

Weekend Cramming.
The name of the game is Let's Cram Eight Chapters of Geology Into My Head in the Span of Four Days.
Ready, go.
I hate this, I hate this, I hate this, it is so unrelated to anything I would ever ever decide to do with my life...I could have zillions of careers after I graduate and I guarantee that none of them will involve looking at rocks.
Did you know that "lomatiite" is ultramafic lava?
Neither did I.
Do you know what "ultramafic lava" is?
...Neither do I.
I sure wish I did!
And I hope I will before 9:05 on Wednesday morning...
