20 Amazing Coincidences

Something I found in my internet travels today.

I don't think I believe them all, but it's interesting enough.

I recently read Kim's blog, which made me think that I should make a post too. I have no idea where this will be going, but it's going.

My life right now is school, seminary and the musical.

School is school. The one class I hate is the one class I need to graduate. My favorite class is still kindergarten. They just had their first Valentine's Day. They were all very excited :)

Ooh! A kindergarten story: One week the kids were learning about chameleons. They went around the circle and each student said where they would be (and what color) if they were a chameleon. I heard answers like "A tree! Brown" and "My sister! skin colored" but then it came to Damien's turn. Damien is Brit's favorite kid (the one who called her "her sister"). His answer was that he would be on underwear. It cracked everyone up. He's a funny kid.

Um, seminary. Brother Terhune still calls me the class Valedictorian and Cari still freaks out about once a week. Not much has changed there.

The musical. Our school is performing "Honk!" this year, it is the story of the ugly ducking. I am Ugly's sister, Fluff. It is a really funny musical, and we are performing it on March 26th and 27th for all of those who are in town :)

College, I am only applying to one place and that is SVU. It seems like a pretty good school and Orson Scott Card works there. I know my home will be Utah eventually, but why not take a detour?

There is a school dance on Friday that Thespians are in charge of so I get to sit at a table all night. Woo! Then the next day there is a stake dance in Rock Springs. I have not been to a stake dance since I moved to Rawlins, but it's my dad's birthday so I'm letting my mom spend it with him alone.

We finally sent in my broken Beatles Rock Band drums so I should be getting new ones any day. Think I can play guitar and drums and sing at the same time? I think it's worth a shot.

My mom and I went to Washington D.C. last week. That was an adventure. You can read about it on my mom's blog and there's pictures on my Facebook.

Today the Senator came to my school. Nicole and I got to "interview" him in front of everyone. I was Jaycey Ward from FOX News and Nicole was Nicole Reed from CNN. It was pretty fun. He told everyone how he was supposed to say "Jaycey Ward Jaycey Ward Jaycey Ward" in his real interview on FOX. He also told them how I wanted to go to all of the restricted areas. Oh and also that I always have questions and that I'm not shy and that he was sure I'd be the first one to stand when he asked us to. That guy knows me pretty well.

My toenails are painted like cows right now, I think you'd be impressed.

I think that's all. Maybe I'll post again tomorrow. This class is pretty pointless.

Identity Crisis

Yesterday, as you can read on my mom's blog, some kids at Highland Hills thought I was a first grader!

Then today, some little girl asked me if I was a teacher. (and for the record, she was older than a first grader)

I'm not quite sure what to do with this....

World's Greatest Tidbit

I learned from that cupcake commercial that you can say anything is the "world's greatest" when it's totally not. So this is now the "world's greatest" tidbit ;)

The word "Howdy" is short for "how do you do?"

Or at least that is what I'm told. So from now on, whenever someone says "Howdy", which is a daily occurrence, I will respond with "good" or "bad" or something of the sort. They will be confused and I will take their possessions in midst of all the confusion.

I will rule the world and it will be great! Thank you Mr. Mills for that tidbit :)

Twice in One Day!!!

My mother has taught me that is allowed to blog twice in one day and I still have 15 more minutes of school, so here I am, blogging again.

I have a choir concert tomorrow night.

In Jazzco, I do not try out for solos, I don't much care to be the only one doing something while everyone stares. And also, they mean a lot more to other people.

But tomorrow night, we are singing "Do You Hear What I Hear?" and there are 3 solos. The first two verses and a descant thing at the end. I LOVE this song. I figured I try for it. After trying it, I decided I really wanted it. I would probably kill someone for this solo if that's what it took. Mr. D had me sing it in class a few times, so I figured I wasn't too horrible. I was still in the running, the concert was getting closer.

I had hope, but then on Monday Mr. Dahlinger had me sing the first verse in the mic on stage. I was doing great, a little shaky, but I felt good. I was singing the song when I noticed I had switched to the second verse. No clue when I did that but I was embarrassed. I stopped singing. But then a visitor from college looked at me and mouthed "keep singing" so I started back in. I was sure I would not get this thing.

BUT....last night we had a performance at the golf course and he had me sing it there!

AND...I found out today that I will be singing it tomorrow night.

I am nervous. But happy.
