Today was the day that Athens ran out of gas.

But it could have been much, much worse.



So, I am in Conducting II now, and lo and behold, part of our homework is to critique videos of ourselves conducting. I just laughed at my video the whole time. No one told me I sounded like such a girl. Lol.

Also, Party City still sells Fun Dip for about a million to the dollar, and I ate some tonight, and I am almost positive that it is pure sugar with food coloring (mine actually CHANGED colors from blue to green).



what a petty entry to write, but somehow i would like to believe that its ok... that i don't have to write social commentary when bad things happen. i'm sad, but what words are there to convey that? i know nothing about the kind of thing the survivors of katrina are going through, and who am i to write about it?

on that note, today was good, considering all things. it was a good day in athens, with my roommates, with my friends. and i even saw my mom for lunch. that is a good day.

Home was good this weekend. I am glad I went because football season is HERE. Which means I won't see home for a while.

But it also means a GAME NEXT WEEKEND! The first game is always fun, and this one should be interesting. Actually I really don't know because I don't follow college football unless it has to do with us, so Boise could be national champs, or I might be their quarterback. I don't even know.

I am sure I am going to get lots of "you are such a girl, football rocks" comments. Or information on Boise state.



Let me comment on my comments. Due to a large amount of comment SPAM, I had to put the security thing up there. You can still post comments quite easily, just type the code on the comment page. You guys know how to work it. But seriously, blogger spam? Laaaaaammmmmmmmeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

So please, don't spam me. But do comment. Thanks.

tired. miss home. miss my dog.

LAME VS. NOT LAME

Lame:

-NOT HAVING AIR CONDITIONING IN MY HOUSE
-Having everybody in the studio in wind ensemble... haha. just kidding, it will be fun
-Gas prices
-Not being in Europe still
-Not having air conditioning in my house
-Not being able to stop quoting stupid movies (HIIYOOOOOOOO. I wanna be on you.)
-Getting a pompom in the FACE at the derbies gig today. Don't worry, it's ok, I wasn't standing there with an instrument in my face. No, I'LL move.

Not Lame:

-Tivo
-Rasberry Jello
-Auditions being over
-Most of my classes NOT requiring books
-Steve Carel
-Morgon


Please feel free to add to my list. Lame vs. Not Lame may become a recurring theme in this journal, much as it is in life.

I am so glad auditions are over for a while. I get so stressed out. But it gets me to practice more than usual.

Congrats to everyone and good luck to all the other instruments who have their auditions on monday!!

this year is looking to be pretty interesting...

So this is my favorite tree in the entire world. It lives in Rome. For some reason I just really liked it and so now its in my camera. I decided that rather than get stressed out for school and auditions right now that i would just think about europe and post random pics.





This is me sitting on the railing of the Piazza de Michelangelo in Florence. It was a frekaing hot day and laura ho-dilly was not excited about having to go up stairs. Infact we swore off stairs in America so if you live higher than the first floor anywhere, we'll probably never hangout. Ever.




Ok well I guess I will see you all at EIGHT AM. Boo you, school.

Oh wait, ps- I went to Barnes & Noble today (go capitolism!!) to buy some books on music. Lo and behold- the only two employees i talked to had degrees in music. It was like I was looking into the future. I guess as long as the future smells like coffee, then it will all be ok.

Man, classes freaking start on THURSDAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY. That gives me zero time to pretend it's still summer.

I wish there was a pool in my neighborhood. I would swim there (though I am very bad at swimming and have some sort of dislike for putting my face under water). But right now during all this band camp stuff I would still enjoy the option of being able to go swim somewhere.

Apparently it's Anchorman week here with the Redcoats. If you don't know why, you will when classes start.

Ok I gotta go. No time for ole blogger tonight!

Pretty much everyone I know is engaged. I am so excited for them. I, however, am not ready for that and yet still feel like "the last man standing."

How come everyone around me is at point A... and I am at point Z? Does anyone else feel like this? I don't think it's necessarily bad, just puts me in a weird mood.

But I guess I get to wear a lot of pretty dresses this summer when I go to FIVE MILLION summer weddings!! :) Congrats to all!

Signed,
MISS Molly Martin

I keep buying things in order to organize my room, and I am obsessed with containers. Yet my room is CRAZY. craaaaaaaazy.

But I am so excited about my house this year, and we have the cutest little retro crazy living room and so everyone needs to come hang out and say hi!


Also I would like to say that coke may taste better in the glass bottles, but if you have never sipped coke from a wine glass, you have never really known Coke.



I am at this point lately where I am not really tired, and I just lay in bed thinking for half of the night... but it's ok. I having been reading a lot and it gives me a chance to imagine all the places i could be next year. I am going to try not to do the thing where you think about every experience you have as a "last." I would rather have just a whole bunch of Athens times and places and no "last this" and "last that."

So. I am drinking caffeine right before bed, which probably doesn't help with the whole sleep thing.





OH!!!!! I completely forgot. So did anyone ever go to Discovery Zone as a child? Well imagine discovery zone completely made of inflatable moonwalks and slides and obstacle courses. Because that's where I was two nights ago. I hear you all saying "woooooahhhhh what a lame-ooooo" but you are so incorrect. I had to go for redcoats, and it was AWESOME. I LOVE MOONWALKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And if I had a trampoline at my Athens house I would be all up ons.

That's right, all-up-ons.

Sweet.

Well... I'm down to the last few days of real summer.

Then redcoats. Then my last semester of class. Crazy.


I gave in and have read the first three Harry Potter books. Lame or not, I like them. I vote not-lame.


Ok so not that much to write. I am definitely ok with that. Going to go read some more Harry Potter.
