This week has been good, we had a great football game yesterday, (we won 44-0) but I got sunburned on one side of my face from standing in the same place for so long. It looks kind of funny, but it was good. At the game, I had three boys profess their undying love for me and give me quite wonderful hugs after I let them have a drink of my water. It was really hot.
That night, (last night) my roommates and I went country swing dancing. It was us three, plus a girl-friend of theirs from freshman year and four guys from their freshman ward. It was a fun non-date, although two couples emerged out of it and us other 4 kind of just stood around and danced with each other. It was fun, but I always forget how stupid I feel standing around waiting for a guy to ask me to dance and how awkward it is to dance with someone you don't know at all. This was better than usual, though, because we could talk about the dancing because it wasn't just swaying back and forth. Overall, a good experience.
Earlier this week, on Thursday, I had my audition for that jazz band (they need a vocalist and…I'm a vocalist) there were only two people auditioning (it's not a very popular group) but the other girl is a jazz studies major (!!!!!) and so she was obviously really good. We both sang a song that we had prepared. I went first but that morning I had woken up with a really really bad sore throat so after I sang, I realized that I sounded kind of squeaky and was regretting everything. Especially when the other girl started singing - she brought her own microphone and everything. She sang her song and I was melting into the floor when the director surprised us and asked us to each take a turn singing a song with the band. Everyone was sight reading and it was way cool to sing with a whole band. She let me use her microphone too which was really good because the band was so loud, no one would have been able to hear me otherwise. I felt a lot better about this song because it was lower and I was able to do my Broadway big voice - you know the one. So I'm still waiting to hear back about that but really, whatever happens, happens and it will be fine.
On Friday, my roommate and I decided to make cookies and watch a wonderful movie called "Love Actually" (I think it's rated R, but don't worry, we had a clean flicks version so it was very…clean) It was a GREAT movie and I would recommend it to anyone. The cookies we made was a recipe from her friend that called for two devil's food cake mixes and one brownie mix, so it made a lot of cookies. We also put Andes mints on top when they came out of the oven and let them melt on the cookies. It was splendid. It made about 70 cookies so we made some friends out in the fishbowl that night. I think a few more boys expressed their love and gave me hugs. I should share more often...
Today I got my calling for the ward. I am on the ward music committee (fitting, huh?) and my assignments on the committee are special music coordinator (where I coordinate the special musical numbers for sacrament meetings) and choir president (which is different from choir director. I just help out Jordan [the guy who is choir director] and ask people to say opening and closing prayers for choir). So…yeah that's what I'm going to be doing in the ward. Woo Hoo!
So, I guess that's my life right now, that was long. I didn't know there was that much in my life. I think I'm going to put up more pictures on Facebook so you can browse through those if you want. Here's the link again if you want to see them. I tried to take more of myself (without being overly "look at me, look at me!") and I'll try to work on more captions.
Love you all!
