Spring Cleaning

So cleaning at the end of the year has got to be the worst part about living in an apartment. You would think after four years it would get easier, but it really doesn't. I've spent all day packing and loading my car. Then I cleaned what I could of my room. At least my roommate has to do the rest. Hehe. So now I just have to help clean the kitchen! Woot!

It is always interesting to find all of the random stuff I have in my room. I accumulate so much of the course of nine months. This year, however, I've been smart and started taking stuff home back in March. (It only took me four years to figure out.) But I've started to realize that I own a lot of stuff that I never use. My goal until I go to scout camp is to go through everything at my parents' house. Of course I will only actually be home for three of the next six weeks. However, it will keep me busy.

The thing I tend to do towards the end of the year is remember all of my good times. It's like experiencing everything over again. It's amazing how much will change in the course of a year and boy have I learned a lot this year! I've met so many people and also realized who people really were - for the good and the bad. Next year I will be student teaching. I won't hardly be on campus. Talk about crazy! I'm sure I will post all of my amazing stories from teaching high school, though. Like today! The student teacher at Logan High - her name is Jerusha. Well, she found a stray cat and brought it to school! O.O So all of the kids wanted to love the cat. They tried to come up with a million different names while trying to find it a good home. They asked Mr. Stowell if it could be the band cat, but he said, "No!" Haha. I wish I could have seen his face. :)

(For all of you voting on my poll, let's just say, "Cat's are better than dogs!")

So that is my random story of the day. Cats at Logan High. At least it was really friendly. Just wait until you hear the stories from scout camp! Wow, those kids are crazy!

The Color Pink

So my whole career as the USU's band office manager has been amazing. I've learned so much as I've worked for Dr. Rohrer. I've learned everything from repetoire to politics. Not only that, but I have met so many awesome people! I've gotten to know several band directors in Utah and a couple of band directors at universities. Working in the band office has been a great experience and I'm really going to miss working there in a couple of weeks. But I know it is time to move on. :)

Well, as the manager I make a lot of copies, whether it's assignments, handouts, music, you name it. Several times I have to make colored copies, but I can never do anything in the color pink. EVER. Dr. Rohrer seriously hates the color. So if I'm doing anything for the bands, or for him, that color is out of the question. Everytime I get to make a colored copy of my choice I always ask to do pink. Haha. Dr. Rohrer just laughs. So today he asks me to copy a flag handbook for class tomorrow and the cover is supposed to be a color. As always, I say, "Any color but pink, right?"

But this time he said, "Actually, it originally came in pink, so why don't you just do it in pink."

Wow! I was so amazed! I was like, "Really?"

He said, "This better have made your day." Of course he was smiling. :)

Man did it ever make my day! And boy are they pink. It's pretty awesome. I can't wait to see his face tomorrow. :D So now I feel like my goal has been accomplished. I can now leave the band office in peace knowing I did get to copy one thing for Dr. Rohrer in pink. *Sighes*

My First Blog!

Hello everyone!

I finally decided to join the world of blogging. It's kind of exciting. I guess it is a good way to inform the world of my life. Although, I don't know if the world is really ready to handle me. Lol. Guess we'll find out.

More to come later. Right now I need to do some homework. :)

PS The quote I used for the title of my blog I heard from my good friend. I thought it just fit, me being as optimistic as I am. ^^
