Anyone disagree with this? Yeah, didn't think so...

The power of Dr. Copeland

So, I don't know how many of you actually have heard the news that I'm staying at UAB, but for those of you who have and were wondering why, well, let's just say things were not falling into place like I wanted them to. I think I knew it all along, but I think it really clicked on Tuesday afternoon. I was helping out at the ACDA Summer Celebration reading choir where, basically, 4 clinicians come and you sightread a whole bunch of music and they pick 2 or 3 songs to work on the next day and at the end of the second day, there's a performance of the songs. So, one of the clinicians was Dr. Reynolds. At the dress rehearsal for the concert, Dr. Copeland came up to rehearse Dr. Reynolds' music because he couldn't make it to the concert. As soon as he started conducting, I just smiled from ear to ear. I smiled because after having these different conductors for two days, I knew that with Dr. Copeland, I was home. I knew right then that I wouldn't be happy with anyone else standing in front of me waving their arms around. I'm just sorry that it took me almost leaving a choir that I love and have been in since it's beginning and have dedicated going on 6 years of my life to, to realize that I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be. I guess it's better late than never, right?

Change of Plans

If anyone cares to know... I'm staying here and going to UAB. The Queen of the Choir still reigns. Long live the Queen...

See you all in Choir!!

Shocker...

Yes, I know it's been like 7 mos. sinced I blogged and probably no one will even read this because they're so used to saying, Erin hasn't blogged, and yet, here I am once again. I keep reading the choir blog and thinking about how much I am going to miss being in the 2nd, but really 1st, best choir in the world. Oh yeah, and the people. haha... Most days I really just try not to think about it. I really feel like I'm doing the right thing, it's just really hard sometimes to try to remember that feeling when I'm dealing with leaving my family, best friends, my school, the only city I've ever lived in... basically everything I know and everything I'm used to. But I think that's why this is going to be good for me. I mean, I'll get to experience a new choir, new school, new group of people, a new city, while still remaining close enough to come back whenever I want, and know that I'm just 1 hr. away from being home if things don't work out in Tuscaloosa. Which, I haven't even gotten accepted yet. I know that some may not understand why I am leaving, or why I chose to go to Alabama, but I have reasons and I do feel like this is the right move for me, at least for right now. I may feel differently in a year, but I'll just deal with that then. Even though my Masters is only a 2 year degree and it would be easier just to stay at one school the whole time, things change and people change and I just have to do whatever I feel is right for me at the moment. So, even though this is one of the hardest things I've ever had to do, I feel like Alabama is right for me at this moment. I appreciate everyone's support, even if you don't agree with me. haha...

You're all about raw power. You're tough, you're loud, and you don't take crap from anyone. Leave finesse to the other cars, the ones eating your dust.

Old dog, new tricks

So, it's amazing what learning how to transfer pictures from your digital camera to your computer will do for your ego... well, ok, not that much, but I still feel smart. hehe... anyway.. everybody has to look at my pictures everywhere now even though most of them are of my baby, Milo!! I weighed him the other day. He now weighs 23lbs. Maybe he and I both need to go on a diet! haha... Speaking of. I haven't been going to the gym for the past 2 months. Firstly, I had to stop going because I got tendonitis and had to wear that stupid boot on my feet and it still hasn't gone away, so even if I went, I could only do arm stuff. And then I didn't get to go because of the opera and everything. But anyway, the lady that my mom and I made friends with who works at the gym keeps calling us and leaving us messages and now she's emailed us asking where we are and why we aren't coming! I'm like, am I wasting your money, hell no! Leave me alone!! Geez people. Sorry, just had to vent. And yes, I do realize that that sentence was very much a run-on. Anyway. I'm going to bed. Everyone have a great Turkey Day!! Muah!

Mellow-Yellow

Ok, so this post has nothing to do with the drink, or even the color yellow for that matter, but I have been very mellowed out lately so there's the reason for the title. My big brother is getting married on Saturday, my dad and my two best friends are getting married this summer... need I say more? What do you do when the guy you've liked forever doesn't "see" you...

Why, why why?!

Why do guys suck so bad?! How come they love your personality, but as soon as they see you (me) they run far, far away! Why do they assume that, just because you're not the prettiest girl in the world, you're not worth spending any time with or even getting to know? Well, here's my advice... Boys are stupid, Throw rocks at them!! Grr...
