Robot Unicorn Attack

You might be wondering why I am sitting here on the computer at almost 2:30 a.m., and to be honest, I am wondering the same thing since I got up at 7:00 this morning and then proceeded to march for a couple of hours. The answer, my faithful blog readers, is Robot unicorn Attack. I have no idea what actually got me started playing this game, but whatever it is NEEDS TO DIE BY FIRE!!!  

It started out harmless...just playing against each other in the living room, or occasionally sabotaging someone playing next to you, but this soon progressed to something much worse, playing RUA in class, singing that dumb song by Erasure, staying up all night just to beat that weeks high score only to find that it resets at the end of the week, and the worst and most infrequent in my opinion is seeing random objects in your way, and somehow thinking of how you can boost through them, or jump over them. All of these side effects could lead to social and moral issues, and although I have taken the time to inform you all of the havoc this has caused in my life...I can only be honest in telling you that I do plan on getting one more game in tonight before I go to bed. 

but to be completely honest...it will probably 3 or 4 games before I even think of sleep.  

All I ask of You

So I am going to pretty much summarize my past couple of weeks. I was sick with strep throat, and it seems like I lost a whole week of everything, I didn't leave my house at all, when I left my room, I went to the bathroom or downstairs to heat up some soup. I literally felt like the walking dead. i didn't even watch tv that much, I pretty much just slept all day. 


Then there was midterms, and although I will admit it on here, I will never say this to anyone...haha I dropped the ball on these midterms. I didn't hardly study or practice for them, but somehow I pulled some good grades out of my butt. Thank God. I have been so stressed the past couple of weeks, and right now I am kinda in a good groove, I am dome with midterms, and I don't have my recital till' the 9th of November, but I guarantee that he closer it comes the more stressed I am going to be. 


Marching band has lately just been a pile of suck though. We are supposed to learn a new show bu Saturday, and as it stands right now, we don't even know the first half of it. I know we CAN do it, given more time and whatever, but it's just not coming together. 


So, i have come to the conclusion that I am going to try and be a happier person. I would say for the most part I am a happy person, but I am going to make a conscious effort to be more pleasant. Below I am going to list the person I want to be.


Always has a smile
looks for the good in others
takes criticism as direction for improvement
doesn't base her happiness on the moods of others
is not too quick with judgement
discouraged never
loves life
never takes anything for granted.




the new and improved Jaymie soon to come.

This is the story of a girl.

So this post is for Ryan, possibly the only person that reads this thing, so a shout out to him
so these past couple of weeks have been completely hectic, but they are starting to slow down a little bit. Recruitment is over, we got 9 girls, and COB is this week, so hopefully we can at least get one more and meet my goal of 10. Marching band sucks as of late though, Ware has been a tyrant lately, and so it's not been enjoyable. This morning we had our Ogelbay parade which sucked! it was the longest uphill parade i have ever been in. so, after I got back at 11:00 am I went to sleep will' 3:00, and that's only cause' Amberia kept calling/texting me to dye her hair. so she came over, and I dyed her hair..and it looks real cute. Then we went to dinner, came back here, and i did my nails while she watched the house bunny. Then I went outside to play with the cat for a little. i wish I could keep her, but the responsible part of my brain tells me we can't. I did, however, do more research on what kind of little dog i want when I graduate, and I have my heart set on a mini Doberman. I can't wait to cuddle . :) ok well, i am going to go to bed. Goodnight world (or just Ryan :D )

I love the way you lie.

Today was a busy day, but I am thankful for every day I have. I got up really early, and wanted to go practice before class started, but my hair wouldn't straighten..so that 1/2 hour was dedicated to trying to make myself look good. :) I had my student forum today with all of the youth symphony kids, so like 5 of us maybe, and I completely sucked at transposing, it was really bad, but I have never had to do something like that before. After that I went to observe with Eric and Tailor. There was a little boy there who wanted me to be his "personal tutor", and Tailor could work with all of the other kids. haha, but observing went fast today, i can't help but get excited about when I am going to teach, and how that is going to feel, and I am soo looking forward to that. 


After class and observations I had lots of meetings with the NC. Then Mindy Sissy, Amanda, Tailor and I all went to go to walmart, but Tailor fell down the stairs, and hurt herself, so we had to wait for her, but I think we had a good visit. I just can't wait for recruitment to be over. 




I am generally content <3

Eternal Sunshine

 "I could die right now. I'm just... happy. I've never felt that before. I'm just exactly where I want to be"
That's a quote from my favorite movie of all time, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless mind.


This weekend was pretty amazing, Friday, i just did some homework, and slept alot. Then Saturday I rearranged the living room with Sissy, and then later that night I went to Jenna's apartment and I hung out with her and Jerid, and his GF Becca, and Zack, and Tailor, and their friend Amber. It was a lot of fun, and I needed to destress. I am going to be tired tomorrow morning, I have an 8:00am class, and it is already 12:00. 


I miss Jake so much! lol It has only been like 2 weeks, but I miss him, I won't even get to see him that much this weekend, I do get to go to the game with him and my dad, and Don. I am looking forward to that, we also have a football game this weekend, and I am happy about that too. :)

Can't Hurry Love

so today was possibly one of the more stressful days of my week. I had like 3 test, and my lesson.  I first had my lesson, and that could have gone better, it was really hard for me to fit in time this week to practice, with recruitment and everything, but it wasn't a horrible grade. Then I had my ear training test, and I got an A on it :) Then I had a math quiz, and I got an 85% on it, which I am happy with, and I had my piano test, and I got an A on that. After class, I came back to the house, and napped since we didn't have marching band. I slept for like tow hours, but I really think I needed it. 


I am currently sitting in the living room with Kayla, Mindy, Karissa, Ryan, Tailor, and Amanda. We had an American Idol Karaoke night. It was a blast, Ryan ordered pizza, and we all just laid around and sang songs loudly. I love my friends. Seriously I don't know how I would get along without them. i have made some pretty amazing friends this year already, and it's kinda bittersweet because some of them are not gonna be here next year.


So my older brother and I were talking on FB and he asked me what is taking Jake so long to ask me to marry him.I honestly don't know, and I am not going to lie, it does suck watching all of my closest girls getting engaged, and even some of them getting married, but it is not like I can change anything. Everything is up to him. i know that he's not afraid of commitment, because we have been together for over 5 years, it's just a little disheartening watching others get what I want more than anything at the moment. but you can't hurry love....you just have to wait 

Friends

Today is Tuesday, one of my busiest days of my week, but it is also the best in a way. I have no evening classes on Tuesday, and also I can stay up as late as I want because I don't have class till' 2:00pm tomorrow. I observed today, and that was fun. I really do enjoy teaching young children, I will probably end up teaching Elementary Music. I always tell Jake that I don't wanna teach, that I just wanna be a private music teacher, for lessons and whatnot. I only tell him that because I don't think I can do it, I only say it as a buffer....so if I ever fail at it, I have a buffer.

I had to go to Walmart tonight to get food and whatnot for recruitment tomorrow. Ryan took me, and I love him for that. I asked him oin such short notice, and he worked all day and took me so late. Anyway, when we came back, Tailor, Amanda, Shandra, Mindy, Ryan, and I all sat around in the dining room and just talked. Random quotes to remember
*"I promise, I washed my hands before I touched your ice"-Ryan
*"Jaymie, don't do that. You'll bleed before your period"-Ryan
*"I knew I would be popular because of my Wii"-Ryan
*"White man been tellin' me what to do for years..."-Jaymie


more to come :)


Tailor, Kayla, Amanda and I all sat outside on a blanket and just looked at the stars. I realized that that's what it's about...laying around doing absolutely nothing. Those are the times that you look back on and cherish. Not the math class that you hated, or how early you had to get up on Mondays....it's the days you screamed out the car windows at random strangers, the nights you climb out on the roof and pray it doesn't cave in, the nights you have bonfires on the lake and hope the cops don't show up...I hope these are the days I remember..<3
