Back at it!
Once more.
Today ,I'm getting my happy bum on a plane at the Nashville airport, and heading back to Corona, CA.
I'm going to miss TN. I've had a great Christmas. I spent it with my family, of course, and also my boyfriend and his family. :) Both were wonderful.
I'm excited for the new semester at the YA's, even though I know I have more classes and no days of.
Not to mention the fact that my dance classes are going to kick my butt.
If you're a future New Kid and stumble across this blog, hear me out: MAKE SURE YOU DON'T EAT LOTS OF PIE DURING CHRISTMAS BREAK!!! Dance will come and k'o you. Ugh. And YA's don't do anything easy! Lol! Which is great! And extremely difficult. :) ESPECIALLY if you're a singer first. Haha. Good luck.
This semester, though, I didn't schedule any night classes, except for one, and that's my writing class. I'm not doing what I did last semester and schedule all night classes. Bad. Idea. Especially when you like to talk to your parents before going to sleep.
Which I do there's nothing wrong with that don't judge I'll know if you do.
All my classes end at 7:15, except for my one 8-10:00pm, so I'll have time in the evening to do some homework.
The bad side to having early evening classes is that I have *drumroll*...
Early morning classes.
Blargh. D'x
It's even worse when you're ABSOLUTELY not a morning person. Being homeschooled since kindergarten was spoiling, lol. Lord have mercy on the homeschoolers.
Another addition this year is what they call "Overture". Even now, I'm not exactly sure how that works, but I know the New Kids will be going out into schools and prisons and such to do a mini workshop. I think it's like a precursor to Outreach tour later this year.
Ah! And we're also getting placed on our first tour this year! The majority of us. Again, not sure how tour casting works, but they're casting Germany, Korea/Japan, and Boyne, MI.
Everyone wants to go to Boyne. Oh gosh. That's the icing on the cake place. :) But rumor has it that not many New Kids go to Boyne in their first year. NOT THAT IT DOESN'T HAPPEN, it doesn't happen often, so I've heard.
In other news, I got an offer from the Walt Disney World College Program to work for them. Due to the fact that I want to finish up a least my New Kid year here at the YA's, I turned them down.
Which may have been ridiculous... But I'm remaining hopeful that I'll go back there. VERY. Hopeful.
I will be at Disney. O_o' Yes I will. I WILL be a princess.
(This is what I say to myself every morning when I look at the mirror.)
But for now, I'll enjoy the YA's, and cry silently for five months for my temporarily lost career at Disney.
*sigh* Life goes on. Always does. :)

California, here I... uh, am. :D
Made it to California, the land of sunshine and fake tans! Woohoo!
xD Sorry... I had to.
So, I'm happily moved in to my apartment with my lovely room mates. Sadly, one dropped out, so there's only the three of us. Good news is (this may sound horrible)... I've got my own room, and it fits my keyboard, my guitar, and a bookshelf :). It kinda worked out, lol.
In other news, I'm truckin' along in the YA's. I'm finished with orientation, and recently finished with meet-and-greet with all the Old Kids. As of today, I've been adopted 7 times! I've got a big family!
There's Natalie (who had me before anyone else did), and Caitlin (I LOVE HER!!!!), Amber (I LOVE HER TOO!!!), Andrew, Katie, ... another girl who's name I don't know, and Kyle. Lots of "big brothers and big sisters". :D It's good to be adopted :3. The more the merrier!!!!!!
I sang for meet-and-greet a snipet of "A Change in Me" from Beauty and the Beast the musical that Susan Egan made popular.
Susan Egan was a Young American for awhile, but then, someone realized how crazy talented she was and snatched her up before she could do a lot. So I've heard, lol. Susan Egan also played and sang the voice of "Meg" in Hercules. The Disney version of Hercules. DUDE. That's nuts.
I was hoping that she might be there! That and, two other girls sang my back-up songs (Part of Your World, and Somewhere Over the Rainbow). It's a God thing. It worked out, lol!
My days recently have consisted of watching the Germany Cast and the East Coast Cast rehearse for their Outreach Tours. Today, for example, I was there for eight hours O_o;. That's a lonnnnnnng time to be sitting on a chair. The crazy thing is...
I LOVED IT!!!! HEEEHEEEE!!! :D It's EXCITING!!!! I never get tired of it. Germany is leaving Wednesday, though, and East coast is leaving on Saturday. Most of my big brothers and sisters are leaving on that one. :) They're going to have a wonderful tour.
Anyway. I've got a day off tomorrow, and I'm not sure exactly what to do... Classes start Saturday (FINALLY!!!!) but other than that, I've got the whole week off... Got to think of something to do!
See ya real soon! (Not really... That's just what Mickey Mouse says, heehee!!!)

Disney Land! Day 2, Trip to Corona
We had some major problems yesterday. Oh my goodness. O_O'
We had to go through New Mexico, and that was fun. *insert sarcasm here*. I-40 was absolutely blocked off for some reason, and we spent 2 or more hours trying to get back to the interstate. That put us really behind. Ugh.
So, there we are. Stuck in Albuquerque, stuck in dead stand still, trying to find our way back, and it's hot.
And guess what?
We got a flat tire on our RV!
But, thanks to our manly-men, they changed the tire in record time, and we got back on the road. :D
We made it out of Albuquerque and continued our relentless trek to the Grand Canyon National Park.
We got there at 1:00 in the morning, but we still got there. When we got there, though, we got out and stated at the stars. You can SEE the STARS! :D You can't see that many back home at all, due to all the city lights. You can see them there. Wowwwww! :3 They were gorgeous. Thank you, Lord, for the stars!
This morning, we got up, had a great breakfast, made by our awesome nephew-in-law/cousin-in-law Adam, and scooted our way to the Grand Canyon.
Adam then made the statement, "How can you not believe in God when you see this?"
That sums up our trip to the Grand Canyon :).
Alrighty! Now, as I type this on my handy-dandy phone, we are on our way to California to drop me off in Corona for the YA's.
There is BIG news, though...
WE'RE GOING TO DISNEY LAND TOMORROW!!!!!!!!!
More on that tomorrow!
Much Love,

"Califorrrrrrrrrrniaaaaaaaaa"!
Today marks the first day of he trip put to California. :) My poor little room that's over 800 miles away in TN is now vacant and empty. It's such a bittersweet thing, y'know.
As of now, I'm riding shotgun with my Mom, just outside of El Reno, OK. We just had to jump off our RV at a truck stop. It up and died out of the blue! Luckily, we were blessed enough to find a couple to jump us off, no problem. Thank you, nice people in the Chevy out in Oklahoma City!
We're all exhausted. We want sleep. It's just my momma and I now up and awake (barely). I started to wrote this in OK, but my phone died, and now I'm 20 miles outside of Amarillo, TX. Yeehaw!
But in BIG news, I got a huge surprise today.
So, without going into too much detail, my boyfriend (Scott) and I are holding onto our awesome relationship out in CA before I return home for Christmas!
That's not the big surprise, though ;).
I told my amazing boyfriend goodbye Thursday evening while he helped me pack my stuff in my already full car. He prayed with me, and told me goodnight, and left me. I was too tired to really dwell on the fact that I just said goodbye to him for a few months (which isn't that big of a deal), nor did I want to, so I fell asleep fairly quickly.
I got up this morning at 6:00 am, after receiving good rest, surprisingly. I packed up the REST of my stuff, cleaned up my little lonely room, and said goodbye, proud that I hadn't cried this morning.
I get out to the RV, hug people goodbye, and go in. I go to put up blankets behind the curtained bunk bed, and there's a CAMERA POINTED AT MY FACE, AND SOMEONE SAYING, "Surprise!"!!!!
I go, "EEP!!!" and shut the curtain.
It was Scott. The ever awesome boyfriend. :DDD
I was so EXCITED THAT HE WAS THERE!!! But all I said was, "EEP!".
... Ugh.
Scott's here with me! He and my Mom had it planned from the beginning of August! It meant a lot to me to have him here :3.
Anyway, we've come to Amarillo, thank you Jesus! :D Mom and I are going to try and find an RV park for the night. *crosses fingers*
Till next time!
Much love,

Nine Days and Nail Biting
Nine days.
Nine. Days.
Oh my gosh. I remember when it used to be a year ago, and I wanted this August to get here SO badly. Now that's it's here... I'm not sure what to think. I'm excited, I'm nervous, then I'm excited again... then I'm thinking, "Oh, jee, I need to pack."
Good news is, I've gotten done with my college algebra course, and I'm crossing my fingers and shooting up a prayer that it'll count for the Young Americans. I'm getting an associates degree from the YA's, and they require some classes to be taken, and they said they needed math. Hopefully, it'll count, and I won't have to take it again.
Math and I... we're not friends... at all. Ugh. I do not like math. Wait wait, I take it back. I like long division, fractions, and multiplication. I like doing those! :D
But math should never have letters in it. EVER.
*sigh* Nine days, though! My Mom's niece and her nephew-in-law, are coming with us on our trip. We're taking a side trip to the Grand Canyon, and they've never been there before, so we're making a trip :).
What's really kind of sad, though, is once we get there, unload my stuff, go through orientation (which will take ALLLLLL day on the 31st (I think it's the 31st...?)) they'll be leaving pretty much immediately the next day, due to work schedules at home.
Which is fine! I understand that. It's just a new part of my life ( a big new part!) and if I could, I'd have them stay for a month! Lol!
It'll all work out. :) I know it will. God says it will, so it will!
Till next time (NINE DAYS!!! EEHGHAD!!!)!
Much Love,

The Garden Burger - 21 Days!
I'm so excited! I met one of my New Kids 2011 classmates yesterday! She's my age, and her name is Megan. I really liked her! :D It's just reminding me how close I am to leaving my home town.
We finally figured out how to tow my car :). It was a little bit of a hassle, but we made it work.
In other OTHER news, I got a few new pieces of clothing for my shows at the Young Americans. SO EXCITED!!!
Here's what I picked up during Tax Free Weekend here in Nashville:

So, as you can tell, I'm excited! Can't WAIT! YAY!!
My favorite things I've bought so far, are my shoes, my back pack, and the gray/green sweater. :3 They say when you go out to the YA's, that you should express yourself. Well, I'm working on it! I know some things that I like, but I don't think I'm particular style...? I wear pretty much everything. That's modest. Modest is hottest. IMO.
Until the next internet posting!

Room Mates and Harry Potter
WOOT WOOT!
I'm SO THRILLED!!! :D I just got my list of room-mates and the roster of my 2011 New Kid freshman class! Seems like most of them are from Nebraska, which is awesome, lol. Two of my room mates are from NE, and the other is from Japan.
And then there's me, from TN. :D
I was on my facebook Monday afternoon and found a friend request from someone in Michigan. I really don't know anyone from Michigan, but I DO know that the Young Americans do a dinner theater out there, so I checked this person out, looked at their wall, and found out that THEY WERE A NEW KID 2011! I nearly screamed I was so excited.
There were a lot of other New Kids posting on her wall, so, I began adding people. Lol, in ONE day, I had added over 50+ facebook friends! I had a few people ask me, "Yeah, I saw that you added like, 40 people... Why...?" Lol. Pretty funny stuff. :)
That's my big news. My other update is that I'll be leaving August 26th... wait... I said that in my last post, I think... Huh.
... Well, I'm leaving August 26th! :D Just to re-post.
In other OTHER news, I just watched "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II" at the midnight premier of the movie. O_o' My friend and I waited in line for FIVE. HOURS. To see that movie.
I've only seen the very first HP movie (the day before I went to see the last one, go figure). You can imagine how confused I was. I mean, it wasn't that bad since I'd seen the first one. It was interesting.
But THIS. This picture displays my FAAAAVorite part of the whole experience:

This. Was. Epic.
Harry Potter 3D GLASSES.
Oh yes :3.
That was so cool! I'm not a fan of Harry Potter, due to all the witchcraft and stuff that's in it (I don't do the dark and creepy magic-y thing at all), but I WILL admit, from a technical side, the movie was REALLY pretty.
And yeah. It was cool. :)
Well, that's all I can think of for this post. I'll post more as soon as something else comes up!
