Yes I'm Still Here!!!!!!!!!

Ok so I know it's been a while since I last posted a vlog or a blog but I've been crazy busy with the musical. We're heading into the last few days before the show so this week is going to be the most crazy yet. We've go rehearsal everyday from 4:00 to whenever we either show the director what she wants, pass out, or die. I'm not sure what will come first personally....although it'll probably be the passing out. I'm incharge of 19 sixth graders everyday this week too. I was talking to my director the other day while we were setting out props before rehearsal and I said "I just realized that I don't have any props to take care of" & she said "No, you've just got 19 sixth graders to keep inline!" It was funny but it was probably one of those "you had to be there" moments...I tend to have those a lot by the way.

In other news....I've become totally addicted to A Very Potter Musical! After months of my friends trying to get me to watch it on YouTube, I finally took the time to watch it. It is FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!! I'm totally in love with every member of that cast - particularly Darren Criss and Joe Walker ;-)

Their musical - coupled with the fact that I won't be able to do the school musical with my friends next year due to the fact that I'm graduating in a matter of two months - has inspired my best friend and I to write our own. We're really excited but we don't really have time to work on it until Joseph's over this week.

Well I need to actually try to get out of bed before I have to go to rehearsal later!

Love you all,
Carrie

Dancing!!!!!! weeeeeeeeee I'm DANCING!!!!!!!!!!!!

ok so obviously this isn't going to be quite as exciting as me actually dancing in a video for you all (although if my friends have anything to say about it you might see one someday), but there is a bit of "background dancing" for this blog - kind of...
.........ANYWAY.........
This week we have a "dance intensive" for Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dream Coat...may I just say that I'm reasonably certain Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber may have been on a little bit of something when he wrote it (pretty far from Phantom of the Opera)....oh good golly if I'm counting correctly (which I'm probably not seeing as how it's 10:23 @ night) this is the 3rd time I've wandered off topic!!!

So yeah, we have our lovely dance intensive this week which translates into "you're coming to school at 7 A.M. being a good kid & helping out w/ the 6th grade choir through your dinner break, & not leaving school until 9-9:30 P.M." This is how I've been spending my time this week...not overly eventful...however there are disgusting golden cow heads involved (but I don't want to talk about it).

Fortunately today was a FANTASTIC improvement....my friend Matt (who is my dance partner for one of the songs) got done w/ what he was supposed to be doing a bit early & he went & got 4 of us ICE CREAM!!!!! I know what you're thinking, "oh it's sooooooo cold out how can you possibly eat ice cream when it's winter in Montana???????" (yes folks it really still is winter in MT) but let me tell you it was WONDERFUL!!!!!! I don't think I've ever been this excited about ice cream in my entire life but it made my evening a bit more bearable....by the way Matt if you ever read this I'm really REALLY REALLY REALLY sorry about stepping on your toes & jumping before you were ready to catch me today!!!!!!!

so yeah that's what's been going on this week...I'll keep you all posted on how rehearsals are going!!!!!

I love you all!!!

hmmmmmmm

Hey everybody!!!!
So I've been super busy this week with the school play/voice lessons/teaching cello lessons. I'd like to say I have a really good story to tell, but that would be a lie...I'll just do my best to tell you all what's been going on recently.

My school's basketball teams (boys & girls) are both at their respective state tournaments today and tomorrow. As a result, my senior class of 84 students today had a grand total of 42 in attendance. Talk about a long & seemingly pointless day! 1st period we took notes, 2nd period I watched Marie Antoinette (the one with Kirsten Dunst) on my computer, 3rd period I went to the museum, 4th period I ran an errand for my choir teacher over to my dad's office, 5th period we watched Blood Diamond (can I just say that I totally LOVE Leo DiCaprio????), 6th period we took notes, and 7th period we watched P.S. I Love You. If I hadn't missed an entire week two weeks ago I would definitely skip, but alas I can't. Tomorrow should be more of the same. Study hall 1st & 2nd (which translates into I better bring some dvds), 3rd is over to the museum, 4th I'm practicing my solo for our district music festival next month, 5th probably Slumdog Millionaire, 6th Wii combined w/ Risk (such a lovely combination :-D), & 7th more movies!!!!! & this is the shining example of my parents' tuition money hard at work...Actually I can't really blame the school or the teachers. We really can't just call it quits for a couple of days unless we wanted to add onto the school year (which I guarantee no one wants to do!).

In other news...I've become completely & hopelessly addicted to Army Wives. I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!! I mostly started watching it because we were watching The Ultimate Gift in my religion class & I wanted to see something else with Drew Fuller in it. Well now I'm officially hooked. I've watched all of the 1st season and most of the 2nd season in just a couple of days!!!!!!! (although I have to admit I should probably spend that time working on homework).

Well that's about it...I'll post another video soon...I PROMISE!!!!!!!! (working on it tomorrow night for the record)

I love you all!
