i'm so excited for noteables auditions! it's the first time i've been on the other end of the audition process. woot! any smithie who reads this should really come try out for us.

i'm also extremely excited because elle is coming to amherst with the party crew tonight. and it is going to crack me up so much because she's this relly wholesome midwestern girl but when she gets drunk she becomes incoherent and laughs a lot and makes me happy.

i got married. lindsay and i got married on facebook then we went to walmart to buy wedding bands. no joke guys :) .

so things are good, classes are good, friends are good. that's all.

my adviser just made me so happy i was about to cry.

my adviser is a chemistry professor who happens to teach my philosophy of biochemistry class. i'm doing very well in that class, but today i needed an extension on a paper because i'm so stressed out with my other classes (especially chemistry) and i didn't sleep on tuesday night because of all my work. anyway, i spoke to him after class about setting up an advising meeting and thanked him for giving me the extension. he said he understood, and i told him it was chemistry that was killing me.

then he said "well, i heard through the grapevine that you're doing well in that class"
i told him i wasn't and he just told me "well i have my sources and they say otherwise"
i told him that i was getting a c in chemistry
he says "well, maybe that c isn't the criteria they're looking at. it's more due to your willingness to learn and your understanding"

i'm still beaming. chemistry is the one thing that's bringing me down right now and having professors talk about me (his wife is a lab instructor for 111 and probably talks to my lab instructor) just makes me feel so much better.

that's my story of the day

it's strange going to a womens college.

most days i love being around girls, and it feels so comfortable. but on weekends when i want to have fun, it seems like guys just aren't available. most days i thank myself for choosing to be in a situation where i won't be distracted from work, because i really do get so much work done here. other days i hit myself... all of my friends from my home tell me what fun they have with the guys in their halls, their dorms, their schools. i've kissed one boy since i've been here and it was only because we were incredibly drunk. now, if i transferred, i would never get work done during the week. but i feel like i'm missing out here. bah.

that's ot to say i don't have fun here. i love it. especially on wednesdays, when michelle and i jump around in her room singing along to living on a prayer on full blast.

i feel like chorus and noteables keep me sane. and i have noteables rehearsal tomorrow and that is such a happy thought. happy happy happy! i really love those girls, they are amazing and fun and talented. i really do look forward to these three-hour rehearsals all week.

ok so here's a continuation of the last entry.

on saturday i spent most of the day at callbacks for the noteables... there were seven of us there and i was the only soprano II (yay!). then they told me that i should be in my room around 12 for the call. so at 11:45 i go up to my room. then 12 rolls by... then 12:15... the 12:30. i'm getting incredibly anxious. then i hear this pounding on my door. my door flies open and there are all of the noteables (including frances in a fro) singing and hugging me. they hand me candy and a bottle of champagne. i was almost pissing myself i was so suprised. so we go and fetch the last girl who got into the group (there were 4 of us that got in) and proceed to sing the group's entire repertoire at different places on campus (remember, this is between the hours of 1-2 am). and then we had a little get-togehter meeting that explained some of the noteables' crazy traditions. i was completely won over. i had a callback for the smiffenpoofs on sunday but after being with the noteables all day there was no turning back. they're incredible.

anyway, my door looks awesome now thanks to my big sis. it really brightens up this dim little hallway.

quad riot is tonight. i'm avoiding it like the plague. there's no way i'm gonna get gross smelly food all over me. so hopefully some of us are going to find a way onto the roof for a much better view of the festivities. as fun as the food fight sounds, i'm afraid i'll probably get sick from the stench. yuck.

who knew that the cvs equivalent of nyquil is less than the brand name, but the equivalent of dayquil


oh my god i just got the most rediculous message EVER. apparently the vibes had called me back, and had their callbacks today... got the message a little too late. weeeeiiiiiirrrrdd.

and some amherst guy just called me a fat bitch. and called me shallow in the same conversation. weird.

anyway, i'm a noteable now. more on that later. being bitched out by a little amherst boy kind of put a damper on this entry.

woot woot. i'm back in the game

after 2 rejections last night, with a callback (the news of which i heard at 1am), i just got a call saying the noteables are calling me back. good thing i decided to try out for them at the last minute.

here's the count:

vibes: rejected (boo on them)
groove: rejected (boo on them)
smiffenpoofs: callback
noteables: callback

i have a chance again!
