Alright. So enough starting off with this "sorry i haven't written in a while" bullshit. I'm sorry people, I'm a busy girl. Not like anyone else even reads this (other than Ben Eastman occasionally), but whatevs.
To myself in the future: Loves forever but yeah there's gonna be a chunk of November that you're just not going to remember.
Anyways...the semester is about to end (thank God). I have my first of three finals tomorrow at 7:30 and yes it is now 2:48. Good job me but fuck math 105. I have successfully switched my lessons over to Margarat and unsuccessfully told Steve Colburn that i will not be taking lessons with him next semester. I have, however, successfully fooled him into thinking i am taking lessons with him next semester. My grades are probably not what i want them to be right now which is 3.8 or higher, but this first semester sucked major ass. I am not even going to lie. There has been one good thing about it though:...
....
...
You know what?? On second thought this semester hasn't done shit for me.
I'm pretty much totally ready for Christmas break. I think i need a really really really fucking long break because Summer wasn't enough to make me want to go back to school. I'm sure that winter won't be either but i need something that'll motivate me to go back to school and try hard and all that good shit...hopefully winter break will be that Savior.
Speaking of Christmas break, i don't know how i am going to do all of the things that i have been telling everyone that i'm going to do with them. I do know that on the 23, i will be hanging out with Steph and seeing a movie and going to fuel, which i am really really excited about. I decided that i miss that girl way to much....
As for the grade school ladies, we are currently working on a day when we can all meet up but due to Kayla's gay home depot schedule, we have not really found a date that will work out for us.
Emily and all those engaged friends that i have?? Well....we're still working on that too.
Also, might i mention that i was planning on working a ridiculous amount over January because i am as broke as a joke. On top of visiting Steph at Valpo....and seeing Graeme and all that stuff...ugh i just don't know how i am going to do it all.
Oh well, i'm an awesome planner, i will figure it out.
So anyways...what have i been up to lately?? Well i definitely had a fucking awesome weekend with my gay lovers TJ and Elliot. really, without them, i never would have made it through the semester. They fucking rock. Watching them fight was so hard for me, but i think that they're over that almost right now...so whatevs. I'm happy. I'm just glad that they're talking again.
I was always closer with TJ than i was with Elliot but this weekend i think that i really got to bond with Elliot because it was the first time that we ever really got to hang out. He's totally my queen:) And TJ is my knight in shining armor.
Sometimes i have weird thoughts like what if i die tomorrow? Which i know isn't weird because everyone has thoughts like that , but seriously though. If i died tomorrow i think i would be good on the heaven sitch, and all that, but would i get to say goodbye to everyone i loved??
I know everyone thinks that im outspoken and all that, but there's some things that i haven't said to people (believe it or not) that i ask myself why i don't tell them like all the time. Which is one of the reasons i keep this blog i suppose.
So here it is, if i ever die. Sorry if thats too blunt...um anyways.
Alright guys, first off, i am in heaven so just chill out:) I mean my faith means everything to me. I just don't wear it on my sleeve like i know i should...i've been trying to but its really hard to be so open about faith and accepting of everyone at the same time...Sorry
To my parents. I'm sorry guys for everything that i put you through but i hope you know that you were really awesome parents. I don't think i could have gotten dropped into a better family and i wanna raise my kids the way that you raised me. Mom i don't really think you're a spazcase all the time, just sometimes...but that's ok because you're mom. Dad, you were always so protective of me but never showed it all the way...thanks. i really needed it to be that way. I promise to always be frugal with my money and i do have to admit, that me and Graeme actually do share that air mattress when he comes over. And sorry about the swearing. I always wanted to tell you how much i loved you but i never could and i don't know why, but it breaks my heart sometimes. I love you.
Graeme babe. You mean the world to me and i know that i became such a good person after i met you. I don't always treat you like i should and i'm not always fair to you, but i love you so much for putting up with it. If you really are reading this after i'm gone, find another girl and know that i want you to. Trust me im sure there's some other crazy asians running around. Babe, your the only man (other than dad) that i have ever loved and i promise. And no one has ever come close to even making me happier than you because i think that we are perfect together. Well anyways...if you do find someone esle, stay happy babe. And i really have been reading those devotions that we were gonna do together. I love you.
Michael you are the best brother anyone could ever ask for and no i will not call you mike because its just not going to happen. I dont know i thought it was kinda weird when you started calling me Liz...soo...yeah. Anyways, just remember not to be so paranoid all the time cause it will all work itself out. For real. I love you.
Steph i can't even begin to talk about all the crazy shit we got ourselves into girl, but it was all so much fun!! Whoo hoo, but you were always the one i could always come to and i know you would give me the answer i didn't want to hear but needed to hear. You have the strongest faith i have ever seen in anyone and just remember that. By the way, just because i'm gone doesn't mean that you don't have to come to my gravestone and update me on what's new and all of that...I love you.
Kayla your my roomate and i love you. Thanks for all the late night talk sessions and sorry that i'm typing this while your sleep ing but girl, you know im too lazy to go into the family room right now....Seriosuly though. I wouldn't have gotten through half the stuff i did if weren't for you...so thanks for being there during my nervous breakdowns. I hope you find your drummer lover. Lover.:) I love you.
TJ and Elliot, if you guys didn't get as much from the above portion of this blog, you are the two best oboists that i have ever met and i look up to you so much. Really though, if i had to choose between playing oboe with you or drinking out at Mad Planet with you...it'd probably be the latter. Hope that everything works out for you guys...and promise to always deal with problems by dancing in your underwear with wine in hand. I love you.
Emily, Lauren, and Kirsten, not to bunch all of you three in together, but i love all three of you so much and i would probably be saying the same ole stuff to all three of yah. You guys were my ladies in high school and you still are. We never did get together did we...well...if im really gone make sure you do that and get it crunk. Oh and make sure that you get enough crunk on for all FOUR of us. I love you.
Ashley Leah Katie and Kayla. Well girls we're still talking after high school and we aint stoppin so your my ladies. I suppose the hick years were necessary but really, lets try to forget the years where we thought it was cool to slick our hair back and dress like boys. what the hell were we thinking?? Haha...thats alright, i suppose we all turned out alright with exception to Kayla who has converted into horndog 4000. Haha just kidding but seriously Kayla, where did that come from? Anyways like always i hope the rentals arent reading this and here's to stories forever. I love you.
Brittany Lauren Wagner. I think you might be my soul sister. I miss talking to you. And i'm sorry taht i wasn't at Lindsey's party. You are the greatest hairdresser i have ever seen and i think that you rock. Stay confident hun you're beautiful. I love you.
Lauren Schultz. Girl you were great and don't let the little things stress you out. Hugs. Love Liz
Man guys, i'm sorry but i really need to go to sleep. I promise i will continue this saga of things that went unsaid though. No seriosuly...i promise. I love you all.

If i died tomorrow, here's what i would want you to know
Alright. So enough starting off with this "sorry i haven't written in a while" bullshit. I'm sorry people, I'm a busy girl. Not like anyone else even reads this (other than Ben Eastman occasionally), but whatevs.
To myself in the future: Loves forever but yeah there's gonna be a chunk of November that you're just not going to remember.
Anyways...the semester is about to end (thank God). I have my first of three finals tomorrow at 7:30 and yes it is now 2:48. Good job me but fuck math 105. I have successfully switched my lessons over to Margarat and unsuccessfully told Steve Colburn that i will not be taking lessons with him next semester. I have, however, successfully fooled him into thinking i am taking lessons with him next semester. My grades are probably not what i want them to be right now which is 3.8 or higher, but this first semester sucked major ass. I am not even going to lie. There has been one good thing about it though:...
....
...
You know what?? On second thought this semester hasn't done shit for me.
I'm pretty much totally ready for Christmas break. I think i need a really really really fucking long break because Summer wasn't enough to make me want to go back to school. I'm sure that winter won't be either but i need something that'll motivate me to go back to school and try hard and all that good shit...hopefully winter break will be that Savior.
Speaking of Christmas break, i don't know how i am going to do all of the things that i have been telling everyone that i'm going to do with them. I do know that on the 23, i will be hanging out with Steph and seeing a movie and going to fuel, which i am really really excited about. I decided that i miss that girl way to much....
As for the grade school ladies, we are currently working on a day when we can all meet up but due to Kayla's gay home depot schedule, we have not really found a date that will work out for us.
Emily and all those engaged friends that i have?? Well....we're still working on that too.
Also, might i mention that i was planning on working a ridiculous amount over January because i am as broke as a joke. On top of visiting Steph at Valpo....and seeing Graeme and all that stuff...ugh i just don't know how i am going to do it all.
Oh well, i'm an awesome planner, i will figure it out.
So anyways...what have i been up to lately?? Well i definitely had a fucking awesome weekend with my gay lovers TJ and Elliot. really, without them, i never would have made it through the semester. They fucking rock. Watching them fight was so hard for me, but i think that they're over that almost right now...so whatevs. I'm happy. I'm just glad that they're talking again.
I was always closer with TJ than i was with Elliot but this weekend i think that i really got to bond with Elliot because it was the first time that we ever really got to hang out. He's totally my queen:) And TJ is my knight in shining armor.
Sometimes i have weird thoughts like what if i die tomorrow? Which i know isn't weird because everyone has thoughts like that , but seriously though. If i died tomorrow i think i would be good on the heaven sitch, and all that, but would i get to say goodbye to everyone i loved??

Just Woke Up
Well...i just woke up and realized i really need to write that communications paper...but yet again...i am blogging. Procrastination really is a strange thing. When i really think about it, why would i really want to put this stupid paper off?? I have always been the kind of person who just goes and gets it as soon as its out there....ugh. Oh well...i might as well just get it over with.
I got a text back from Steph saying that the conversation with Jake went long...till like 3:15ish. Daaaamn they talked for a long time. And i know exactly what they were talking about too which makes it easier for me to not have hurt feelings. A while back, Ben told me about this ginormous conflict between him and Jake because Steph was going down to Arizona to visit Ben for Thanksgiving and apparently she wanted him to get her wasted.
Am i hurt that she didn't want to drink with me?? Not so much because even though i should be her first choice, in all reality, when was i really going to see her?? Christmas?? Yeah baby lets get wasted at Christmas!!! Whoot. Anyways...that's where that is.
Speaking of Christmas...did i mention that all of my Christmas presents are wrapped under the tree besides Lauren's and whoever i have to buy for in the Emily-Kirsten-Lauren exchange. This just reiterates the point i was trying to make before about Procrastination. I obviously am not that big on it....why can't i just bring myself to write this damn paper??
Oh...i just got an idea..what if i blogged my paper....hmmmm that could prove to be quite interesting...wow im a genius...hahaha

Engagement rings...ugh...
Thank God that the horrible week from hell is finally over. Right now im sitting in my nice warm house listening to the snowstorm and annoying plow outside. yay!! I was waiting on a call from Steph, but i don't think she's going to be calling me back tonight. I won't say im not surprised though...she'll probably call me tomorrow and say that she forgot. Really....im not that pissed off about it...but i AM pissed off about it at the same time. I mean..she told me she would call me back in half an hour...the least she could have done wast texted me to be like...hey going to sleep sorry...Ugh..oh well..
Speaking of Ugg. I definitely bought myself a 200 dollar pair of boots three days ago. But for the record..i fucking love em so i don't care...
Update on the music thing...I DO have to do juries. Which are on December 10. Whoo hoo. Thanks Professor Colburn for nothing!!!
And one final story which was probably the highlight of my day. By highlight i mean, it was the most eventful thing that happened...other than the concert which went well if you were wondering. Ok so back to my story.
Graeme and i have talked about marriage a couple of times and are both in agreement that we would like to eventually end up together in the end. Not that abnormal..whatever. So in doing so, and being a girl, i obviously speculate about other things that might effect that day while we talk about them. Sometimes its flower choice, what style dress i want...but most of the time i end up thinking about the ring im going to get.
I told him a long time ago that i wanted a ring from Tiffany's and not knowing what the H e double hockey sticks that was...said yes. Later he came up to me and told me that the rings were way to expensive and there's absolutely no way that i'm going to get one. I didn't really believe him on the expensive thing..because when he looks on the internet for prices it usually ends up being way more than he says its going to be...so i looked on the Tiffany's website today for the first time to check out the rings.
Of course i found some cheaper ones...and the one i want is about 3000. Now really, is that unreasonable at ALL??? I was all excited about this of course and texted Graeme to tell him that the ring i wanted was only 3000. I mean...i was excited:)
So than he calls me back and we kind of get into this argument...because i keep talking about the ring..and then he tells me that that's a lot of money. Which it is...but not for an engagement ring... He pretty much called me materialistic and fuck if im not on my period...but i was a little pissed off. I mean...i feel like he's telling me he's just going to lay low and buy me a ring from a cheaper jewler.....but that's not what i want.
Ugh...i can't really explain why i absolutely NEED a tiffany's engagement ring...but i just do. I mean really...i just love how they look....they're gorgeous. Is it really too much to ask??? Of course he's worried about the money...but i think it's because he wants to save up for a down payment and stuff like that...oh idk what to tell him...he keeps saying things like...well ill just have to take out a loan...making me feel all guilty about wanting that ring and everything..:( And than i feel like i shouldn't expect something like that.
Which is where i'm confused. AM i being a bitch for wanting a ring from Tiffany's??? He is very apprehensive about the whole ring business because of Goddamn fucking kim. I'm sorry but i really hate her sometimes because she ruined a lot of things for Graeme. I know that when he buys that ring...if we even get that far and whatever ring he gets, he'll just be upset because of the money he spent..and should be saving. Because he doesn't want me to give it back to him and blah blah blah. Ugh...i hate this...the more i think about it, the more it bothers me. Just because...he doesn't want to spend money on that ring...which...sucks.
Can i just say, that i don't NEED Graeme to buy me things. For dinner i usually offer to pay at least something and we are usually half and half on the spending. But....every girl wants flowers once in a while...and the only time he buys me them is when i give him HUGE hints. I pretty much have to tell him to buy me flowers.....which i know is typical for a guy...but ugh.
The only thing he really surprises me with when it comes to those things are things that he wants...like a DVD player and stuff like that. IDK..sorry but i don't have time to really watch movies...so....im probably not going to use it. I hate when shit like this gets in the way of the relationship...but i just know that im willing to spend so much money to make him happy...and i just wish that i could have that in return once in a while....without complaining...because that just makes me feel like shit.
I know he's so tight on money right now...and its not fair for me to demand things of him. But i remember when he used to surprise me with my favorite chocolates or random things like that....now i don't think he even remembers what my favorite chocolate is anymore...:(
Like i said...im on my period and am probably being very irrational...but hey...isn't that what blogs are for??

Midterms are over apparently but the semester still sucks
And so. I need to vent. Not really, i am just really fed up with the music program here. And its totally my fault because i don't want to be a music major anymore. Of course, as you all probably know, its a monday because thats the only day i really complain about music because thats the day that i bend over and let UWm fuck me in the ass...not to be vulgar or anything.
Well anyways, i told professor colburn about it, surprisingly. And he didn't take it too hard. Although, he did dismiss me right when my lesson was over inst3ead of the usual 20 min overdue. Which was nice. Anyways, the only thing holding me in to the music thing is my scholarship which i don't even know is worth it. Which is sad. Ill keep you posted.
Other than that, my Thanksgiving weekend was nothing short of Awesome. :). As always, i love to see my family and le them know what im up to. Althought i was kind of disapointed in the selection of dishes this year. But all the food was bomb so i will get over the fact that we didn't even have corn at Thanksgiving.
Also. Got my fake ID this weekend which i proceeded on to use to get into judges but it wasnt like amazing. yeah i got in a bar. Yeah im not 21. And yeah the creepiest people ever hang out there. But whatever. I got into a bar and thats all that matters. You gotta start at the bottom.
And now i am about to go waste two hundred dollars on Christmas shopping!!! Whooooo see yah later:)

Thanksgiving Week.
Oh My Goodness. Im so sorry about not writing. I really have no valid excuse for neglecting this blog other than midterms which is only a partial excuse. Even though i have no other readers other than Ben, im sure the readers i almost had were quite disappointed when i didn't post for ever. Ok anyways...back to what's new in my life.
I feel very pressured right now to make a lot of life changing decisions. Like about my career. It's so hard not to think about it, after all that's why i'm in college, isn't it? But then again, I AM only a freshman. All the members of PRSSA keep telling me that when they were freshman, they were just thinking about college and dorming and drinking and whatnot. Which i do think abotu occassionally minus the dorming but still....
Which brings me to another thing i am worried about. My living situation next year. Yeah i have a while to think about it, but i don't want to end up scrambling to find someone next year. I want to live closer to school and have my own room. That shouldn't be too hard to ask, but the trick is finding the right person. Until you have been in college or had to live with someone else thats not related, you wouldn't believe all the problems roommates can have...ugh.
Although my roommates are actually quite good now...probably because i had a nervous breakdown a few weeks ago, which i realize may not have happened if i was writing all of my problems down in this blog. Yeah. i know.
New Subject. Graeme and i are doing alright. We just had our one year anniversary on Saturday and we went to Chicago. We went to the field Museum, the Art Museum, and the Shedd Aquarium. And it was lovely. I was actually so tired by the Shedd Aquarium that i took a 20 minute nap while waiting for the dolphin show to begin, but that actually ended up being one of my favorite parts of the whole day:).
Well enough about the updates, and time to start talking about the here and now.
I have found that the week of Thanksgiving has been one of the longest weeks of my entire life. Yesterday i was sitting through a fifty minute lecture and it seemed to take 3 hours. Boo. Also, i found that i have been feeling very lethargic lately...because all i can think about is turkey. And the cute outfit im wearing to my family get together. MMM MMM GOOD:).
I actually miss my family more than they know...especially my brother. Thinking about what to buy everyone for Christmas has made me think about each person individually and just miss them entirely. I have no idea what to get for my bro but im sure ill figure it out within the next two weeks.
Oh Christmas.
I feel very pressured right now to make a lot of life changing decisions. Like about my career. It's so hard not to think about it, after all that's why i'm in college, isn't it? But then again, I AM only a freshman. All the members of PRSSA keep telling me that when they were freshman, they were just thinking about college and dorming and drinking and whatnot. Which i do think abotu occassionally minus the dorming but still....
Which brings me to another thing i am worried about. My living situation next year. Yeah i have a while to think about it, but i don't want to end up scrambling to find someone next year. I want to live closer to school and have my own room. That shouldn't be too hard to ask, but the trick is finding the right person. Until you have been in college or had to live with someone else thats not related, you wouldn't believe all the problems roommates can have...ugh.
Although my roommates are actually quite good now...probably because i had a nervous breakdown a few weeks ago, which i realize may not have happened if i was writing all of my problems down in this blog. Yeah. i know.
New Subject. Graeme and i are doing alright. We just had our one year anniversary on Saturday and we went to Chicago. We went to the field Museum, the Art Museum, and the Shedd Aquarium. And it was lovely. I was actually so tired by the Shedd Aquarium that i took a 20 minute nap while waiting for the dolphin show to begin, but that actually ended up being one of my favorite parts of the whole day:).
Well enough about the updates, and time to start talking about the here and now.

Niiice
So i am totally typing this entry on my new macbook pro. Sweeeet. Right now..things with the roomies have calmed down i suppose you could say. They are still only selectively nice to me...and by selectively i mean when other people are around. Like i said before...its not like they're blatantly mean...just silently mean.
I mean it does make you feel like shit when you walk in a room and no one says shit. Act like your not there or something.
I started doing it only in response to how many times its been done to me.
And i suppose one could ask themselves, "is it really best to sink to that level of retaliation?? Doing to them what they're doing to you??"
The answer is...probably:)
But anyways...back to the mac.
I have come to realize that this machine is so much better than a PC, not only because it is a lot easier to use, but also because it is ten times sexier, brand new and all mine. I do, in fact realize that all of those reasons for my lap top being better than a PC are total crap, but whatev.
The only thing i have against mac right now is the fact that it comes with not many programs. I mean, you basically have to buy everything that you need....Microsoft office, Photo shop, Solitare. I mean really now...oh well...im workin on it.
Other than that...i totally love my mac!!
Maybe i should update on Graeme right now. He is sleeping next to me with a blanket over his head and breathing heavily. He is such a sweetie. We basically spent the whole day together...and he went grocery shopping with me and didnt complain. I was shocked. And that is why i am just letting him sleep right now. Of course i am a little bummed because every Friday i spend with him i end up sitting around the entire night in scrubs watching movies and going to bed at 9:00. Not exactly the college life ideal but i suppose i will get over it eventually. Its not like we spend every Friday together.
Other than that...he is totally good. I have been desperately searching google for good anniversary presents. I mean our one year is on November 19 and i am getting frantic. Although i did already buy a sweet Christmas present for him...did i mention what it was>>?? Packer tickets. Hell yeah.
So we might not even get each other anything for our anniversary. Which makes me sad. No love is not about presents and whatever...but it always feels better to get one. But he pulled the whole, "Well your forcing me to get you a present. I just wanted to spend the day in Chicago with you but thats not good enough for you." Honestly....what am i supposed to say to that. Hhhhhh i just wish i could have something nice thats all...
And thats really all i have on that...goodnight:)

Picking and Choosing
Don't you just hate those people who treat you in accordance with what mood they're in. If they're happy, everyone around them is allowed to be happy, but watch out if they feel like bitchin because they will probably take it out on you. Well im pretty sure that i live with two people like that and theyre names are Lauren and Kayla.
Living with them has been hell for the past week...but last night they decided to randomly be nice to me. They were making dinner and decided to include me...which actually shocked me. It was alright...i was kind of reserved until tim and Lucas got there. But yeah...i dont know where we're at right now...but apparently they're talking to me today.
Things could however all change tommorow...we shall see.

Updates Updates Updates...actually im just going to bitch about my roomates
So much has happened to me since the last time i wrote on here it is not even funny. But im just going to take this time to freak out about my roomates.
I have decided that i do not think that i want to live with my roomates next year. I would really rather drink bleach. I don't know...Kayla kind of freaked out at me on Thursday because of numerous reasons. One of those reasons is because i apparently don't clean up after myself. Leading this argument was the fact that i don't do my dishes. I have two things to say to that. 1. i barely make any dishes because i am not home. 2. The reason i don't do them is because you do them like one day after i make them. If they were sitting in the sink for a week i would put them away....but since you are home all the time and find the need to clean every five seconds...well...yeah.
Something else was how i just come home and throw my backpack on the floor in the family room. She argues that i could go a little farther into my room to put the bag on the floor in our room....well i live here too and i will put my damn bag wherever i want. Really though...if my backpack is in the family room does it really matter that much??? But i suppose since all she does is sit on the internet all night and watch OC than i can maybe see how she would freak out at a backpack. On the floor. Maybe.
In this argument (which stemmed from a cable argument...which i don't even want to get into) i told Kayla that she is crabby all the time and every time i try to talk to her she gives me like one word answers...just to see what she would say back to that. Well she retorted with "Im going through a hard time right now and i just don't want to talk" right. Awesome i am so glad i have a roomate that doesn't want to talk to anyone...that rocks!! I don't appreciate you taking your emotions out on me.
One other thing that pisses me off is the fact that Lauren and Kayla talk about me and i know it...and its really annoying living with them. This morning for instance i was in the car with Lauren and i saw a dog and i said, i wish i had a dog. And Lauren was like...your too messy. This made me furious of course because i am not messy. Even if i was messy, i am not home to make a mess. And i told her this and she was like arguing with me how i don't clean up after myself...when she is just as bad or worse than me. Finally i just informed her that i was just saying how i missed my dog...but in my head i was thinking god you two sisters are bitches. Can you just chillax for five seconds. Ironic that Lauren noticed that im messy since she's never home. Oh wait...im pretty sure that Kayla has been talking about me...im not a moron.
I am so sick of people telling me that i am messy. I clean up after myself...even more so now that Kayla said something. I respect her opinion and even though i don't think that i am that messy at all, i will still try harder. But Lauren needs to kiss my ass right now...
I have pretty much been doing to Kayla what she has been doing to me for the past month...with the one word answers and not talking unless im talked to and such...and she has realized it and it doesn't feel that great...but whatever. I could really care less. I am sick of always going out of my way to try and be nice and friendly just to get ignored, argued with, or judged. Fuck this.
One thing that crossed my mind was maybe they are right and i am just messy....but than i talked to one of my other friends about it...and she informed me that her sister used to live with Heather and Lauren. And hated it. I think that they are just really hard to live with...Grrrrrrrr
I know i am just ranting right now...but oh man. I hate my home life right now....

Music in General
So i just finished up my piano fundamentals class...and it wasn't bad like i thought it was going to be. First of all, Margarat was back to her nice old self. Did i forget to mention that Margarat totally freaked out at me like a week and a half ago?? Yeah i totally skipped 2 of her classes and she gave me the "i can't pass you if you don't show up to class" line....yeah it was annoying but anyways.
So i think we're back to being on good terms, and i totally sat in the front row today...i dont know if that did anything. Maybe.
As for music in general...i love every person in this program. Okay maybe "every" is a bit strong...but there are a great number of wonderful people that play in this music program. Tj and Elliot are probably two of my best friends in this entire college just because of the support system we need to be offering each other, and i've met a ton of other nice people through music.
But its just not for me. When i'm in band sometimes, i look around. And i see passion...that i don't have. Do i enjoy to play music?? Absolutely. Do i want to do it as much as i am now? I honestly think that i would go insane if i played this much for another semester. Not that i don't think that this is a good experience...but again. Its just not for me.
Im a little sad because i know i won't be this involved next semester. And the thought of not seeing Elliot and TJ as much as i do now makes me really sad...but i gotta do what i gotta do. I hope to always stay close with the people that i have come to know this semester though...they are truly great.

I hate my oboe professer
For anyone who has ever had to perform music. Don't you hate it when you try uber hard on something...practice for an immense amount of time, and than totally F it up when you are playing for your professor??
Well that totally happened to me yesterday and i think that yesterday was the worst day of all time.
I definitely screwed up alot at my lesson and my professor was a total ass...and i was totally on the verge of tears. And i left the lesson...in tears.
They weren't that bad until i burst into the oboe studio and TJ asked me what was wrong. And i just lost it but than he gave me a hug and offered to take me to work. And than we listened to Britney Spears the whole way there.
I just love TJ.
And yesterday....Graeme totally surprised me. And it was awesome. He was having a really bad day...i think he was going through a life crisis because he hates his job and isn't saving money like he wanted to. I hope he works that all out.
On another subject...Kayla totally hasn't been weird about the party thing. But im sure Lauren and her have discussed it. Whatever.
Im so glad that me and Steph are totally speaking again. Frequently. It rocks and im thinking about going down there to surprise her at Valpo. That would totally rock.
Thats about all for now folks.

Roomate Antics
So this is an email i wrote to my best friend steph catching her up on my life...thought i would share it here too....
Ok so heres the latest big news i have....I kinda am sick of living in my apartment because i wanna live downtown, i wanna be closer to school, and i am not sure that i want to live with Kayla and Lauren.
Lauren is alright...but the other day was Kayla's birthday party and Phil came over...and some other people from Kettle..but they were gossiping about people from high school like the entire night. And i wasn't even really like that mad about it...but than they brought up the Lindsey Patzleburger crap AGAIN...Idk apparently her and her sister and Mitch Keller called Philip gay in homeroom once and Kayla heard them.
That was really annoying because they seriously NEVER shut up about her...and they're always like shes such a fuckin bitch i hate her. Shes fat and her sister is annorexic..which shes not even that skinny anymore....but yeah i was just like whatever and didn't really say anything.
So that pissed me off kinda but than the thing that really pissed me off was they started talking about like you and Michael and Jake and i was like...ummm those are my friends and Steph is my best friend so could you like not talk about them in front of me... and than they were all like....no they are totally stuck up blah blah blah and i was like holy crap. I was so pissed that i just ditched out and went to bed....grrrr that made me so mad.
I think Kayla was mad that i went to bed on her birthday but i wasn't gonna sit there and listen to that crap. I was like so pissed and sometimes she is just so immature. Oh. Em. Gee...like i don't even want to handle it sometimes. So my lease is sup in July and i hopefully will be moving in with Emily Herther, Kirsten Rehm, and Lauren Conley...but nothings final yet...im just hoping....

I wish someone would miss me
So there has been a whole lot going on...I'll give you a quick update because i have a class in 25 minutes.
1. Gary from PRSSA emailed me back. Finally. I hopefully will be able to stop over today or next week sometime so that i can get started with SERVE.
2. Graeme is coming over tonight and im really excited.
3. I am hopefully going to be moving in with Lauren, Emily, and Kirsten next year. It's not that i don't like living with Kayla and Lauren, its just not that much fun. And we do some minimal bonding...but not much. Also i would like to be closer to school and get a job downtown...so thats what is going on with that...
4. My cousin/used to be best friend Steph has not called me in forever..and its just not cool. I mean i haven't even gotten a facebook message and really its not like i have been trying to reach her or writing her on facebook or anything...but i just saw a message that she wrote on someone else's wall saying how much she really wants to see everyone. And really. I wish that she would say that to me. Cuz i miss her incredibly sometimes.
Thats really all thats going on and when i type it out it doesn't seem like that much...but man do i feel rushed all the time.
Last night i texted Graeme before i went to bed and said, "I miss the cute little nothings we used to do for each other:( When can we start going out of our way to see each other smile again?" and he texted back...i dunoo babe...soon. What does that mean? I think i might have made him feel bad, but sometimes i just feel like we've been together for so long that there's not much passion. And by passion i mean variety, surprise, and just the cute things that keep a relationship fresh. I suppose by that i mean, i feel like i go out of my way for him all the time...and sometimes i feel like he takes that for granted. And i have just been waiting for him to buy me some yellow roses:(
Tonight we're going to see a movie so hopefully that will add some color to our dating life.
Ill keep you posted.

I didn't take your lame ass 6 dollars
So if theres one thing that i am learning through college/living in the city, it is definitely patience. I mean after all, half the crap i have to do takes 3-5 business days to process. I usually have to wait for a key to get in half the places i need to go. Don't even get me started on waiting for the bus, and my roomate can be pretty short with me.
I can honestly say that my patience level has upped like a million since i started living in Miltown, but this weekend i think everything that i have gained when it comes to patience flew out the window.
I was at this party with my friend Trevor and he was the only person i know. When we got there, he immediately ditched me for this other girl so he could "show her his room" and so i was left to make new friends.
And i did, don't really remember their names but they were nice girls. We were hanging out a little but than they went to smoke weed, and since i don't do that, i was left alone again.
Eventually i was sick of being alone, and decided to leave. Five seconds after that thought popped into my head, there was a man in uniform...forcing me to leave. Apparently Trevor and his roomates had gotton a noise violation. I really didn't want a ticket, so i dashed out of there real quick, forgetting that all of my stuff was locked in Trevor's room.
Anyways, i was walking out of the party and i was walking with these two girls, and since all of my stuff was locked in Trevor's room, all i had on was a tank top. So this girl offered me her northface jacket (which had her car keys and eyeliner in). It was super nice of her and that jacket was real warm.
Anywyas so we go to this guys house and i don't know anyone there...and frankly i was quite sick of not knowing anyone...so i decided to up and leave. Totally forgetting of course that i had on her jacket. Yeah whoops.
So i feel really bad after i wandered to my other friends house because i don't know anything about this girl or where she lives and i have her car keys and shit. And eventually she calls me (don't ask me how she got my number) and is like "Im at Trevor's...can you bring back my jacket??" Of course i said yes, and my friend Amy took me over there...
Now i understand that she was upset that her jacket was missing...but maybe like a thank you would have been nice or some shit. I mean i did go there to give it to her and shit. But no...she snatches it and walks away and im like fuck it...so i grab my shit out of Trevor's room and than walk out..
As I'm walking out...i hear..."she fucking jacked my six dollars". I know..retarded right? Of course i didn't take her stupid six dollars. So anyways..i hear that and keep walking and her friend like runs out after me and is all like, "did you take her six dollars?" Im like, "no there wasn't six dollars in it when i got it." And she just keeps going on about this lame ass six dolalrs...so finally im like..guess what biatch. I made 140 tonight...does your friend really think i need her lame ass six dollars?? And than i walked away. Like a true gangsta.
Honestly...who fucking cares anyways about six lame dollars. What is that gonna buy me...Jimmy Johns?? Well yeah...but whatever..lol. This story is seeming very retarded now that im typing it...but at the time taht shit pissed me off. I suppose my anger was amplified since i was drunk but whatever. Fuck that girl. And her mother. Peace out. lol

Moving to Riverwest?
Right now i am visiting Brooke at the school where she teaches. She does a pretty good job...way better than Miss Semon ever did anyway. Or should i say the seamonster. Really i don't have anything to say, this is just the only site that hasn't been blocked by the Lutheran authorities. Haha flashback to Kettle.
Man, i am so glad i am out of high school. Its really liberating to go to college and make your own choices. Not like mine are really that good right now...after all i AM skipping piano today.
Crazy idea. Joel Ferguson, this guy from Michigan that i have never actually met but talked to a couple of times and went to school with Lydia messaged me back with his number. And i was thinking about moving to Riverwest with him and a friend. Yeah i know its crazy. And yeah i know my mom would hate me living with two guys...my dad would probably just slit my throat but its not like we will be sharing a room so whatever... Really its just a thought..dream maybe...lol
Ahhh...the joys of dreams

Sam
This morning i was waiting to get on the 15 so i could get to school early (because we all know im cool like that), and this guy who i later learned was named Sam started to gesture to me. He was deaf so i didn't just blow him off...i mean how often does a deaf guy find someone to talk to?? He started out by asking me what bus i was taking and than eventually went to other things such as his dog. He was a nice fellow but than it got akward because he me if i wanted him to call me tonight. I of course politely declined by letting him know that i have a boyfriend, but it was really akward because i felt bad turning him down...but seriously. Dude knew me for like ten minutes...im probably not gonna wanna talk on the phone. How would he even call me anyways?? Hes deaf...at least thats the only reason i can think of for not talking. Anyways he was cool about the whole thing and went on to let me know that its Brett Favre's 38th birthday. Pretty sweet...can't wait to see that guy play some football. But i digress...im just bored and that is the most interesting thing that has happened to me so far today

Ugh...i skipped Piano fundamentals today...i think that all we did was play through the same songs we have been playing through, so its probably not a big deal. Still though..i feel bad...my teacher is really nice. Oh well...i've been doing other constructive things with my time.
A couple of days ago, i felt really disorgranized...so i made this list of things that i needed to do. Today i crossed off like two of them. That means ive been doing constructive things...right??
One other things i have been trying to do is look for scholarships or any way to save money in college. I know im only a freshman, but i feel like i should also be investing right now. This is my plan, start a retirement fund...with $26.00..let compounding interest work its magic...and than decide not to retire right out of college. Take the money. Pay back the other money. Good plan?? I think so...
Last night i told Lauren that i stained her favorite dress. It sucked. I mean she was really pissed...but i paid her back for it, wrote her a note begging for forgiveness, and almost got the stain out. I think that she has no reason to be mad at me anymore.
Last night Ben Eastman called and we talked for approximately 2 hours. It was awesome and really good to hear from him...he needed my advice on something...but its a secret. I'll let you know some other time.
I have to work tonight and it sux

The Beginning of College
So here i am standing in my student union, bored with life and wondering what to do. Probably something an average freshman does occasionally, but its times like this i wish i was living in the student dorms. (Don't let mom know i admitted to wanting to live in the dorms or ill have to admit that she was right) Look at me just rambling about nothing; i suppose i should introduce myself.
My name is Liz and i go to school at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. This is my first semester here and i am (technically) double majoring in Communication and Music Performance. I started this blog for a couple reasons. 1) To document my college life, after all, im sure it will be funny to look back and read what i was thinking as a freshman, right? 2) To improve my writing skills. 3) For times like this when i should really be doing homework, but could never bring myself to focus.
So back to where i am; standing in my student union. Right now it is approximately 5:45. A whole hour before i need to be where i need to be, which is at the Zelazo Center for a concert that i will be playing in later tonight. So far i have called approximately ten people to see what they are doing in hopest that maybe SOMEONE could help me kill time...and approximately ten people turned me down/ didn't answer their phone. Poop.
So here i am blogging my boredom which i am sure your very interested in but i did find out something really awesome today. Apparently, this PR Agency called BVK is right next to my house. Sweet? I think so...i am probably going to volunteer there in their SERVE program. I found out about this agency from PRSSA (Public Relations Student Society of America), this club i joined the first week of school. I am not entirely sure what SERVE actually does...but it is somewhere along the lines of volunteering to do ad campaigns for causes that don't have enough funding...like teen pregnancies, aids, and good stuff like that. I am pretty psyched about it, not only because i am going to be immersing myself in a pretty competitave firm right away in freshman year, but because i get to work with one of the head guys in the firm...i think his name is Gary. Anyways...i am stoked and i am sure i will definitely write about what goes on with that later..
Speaking of Public Relations, i suppose i should mention that i am so in LOVE with PR and everything that has to do with it. That is exactly what i want to do with my life right now and i can't wait to start taking all PR classes...if anyone who reads this knows anything about PR please let me know so that i can have all the advice i can get...I suppose this leaves the field pretty wide open for whatever. lol.
Since i am doing PR as a career, i suppose you're wondering why i am also majoring in Music Performance. Well the reason for the music thing is because i got a scholarship, but i have realized in the past couple of weeks that my heart is just not as into music as it needs to be for me to major in it. Does that make sense?? I can't really explain it...but to sum it all up: I have never practiced 3 hours a day...i don't practice 3 hours a day now, and i never want to/will practice 3 hours a day no matter how big of a guilt trip you give me.
Well folks...thats all for now..i kind of want to read this handout thing i got at BVK today. And i am sick of stading up...so thats all for now...See Yahh:)
