Well...I guess I must meet the demands of my people. You ask, and I shall deliver! After 19 comments on my last entry, most of which said "WRITE MORE, RIGHT NOW!" in nutshell...I decided maybe I should...Brace yourselves. This is going to be a long entry.

So I guess I can do a brief fast forward...

I was in Once Upon a Mattress this summer with Topeka Civic Theatre and it was way fun. Loved it. Miss it. Done.

I volunteered for the Topeka AIDS Project Gala. Loved it. Will do it again next year. Done.

I moved to Wichita to attend Wichita State University as a Musical Theatre Major on August 14th. It was raining. The entire week. Don't miss that part much. Done.

OK. So now the fun and interesting stuff that takes much more detail and time.

Where to begin...Well I am living on a Fine Arts Floor. My roommate is from Kansas City and yes, he is STRAIGHT ladies and gentleman, and I honestly think I couldn't have been put with a better roommate. He is very respectful and just all around a really good person. So the roommate situation is A-OK. Done.

As far as other people on my floor, things are going pretty well. We're becoming kind of a cult in a way...haha. We all go to meals together, go to the clubs together, watch movies...it's really a pretty good little community of people. There is already tension building, and I, of course, am the one that everyone comes to for advice or just to talk to. Which is fine, I totally love the fact that people trust me enough to talk to me about things. And I only tell other people what I feel is necessary. So I can see tension developing already, which is not good...but hopefully it'll subside.

As for school itself...well, ok. I'll start with the classes I'm taking: English Comp. 2, Music Theory 1, Acting 1, A Cappella Choir (big choir that I have to be in), Chamber Singers (select ensemble that I won't be in next semester cause I hate it!), Aural Skills 1 (which is like sight reading and singing and partnered with Music Theory), and Ballet 1. So...granted that none of my classes require a lot of brain power, they require a lot of me physically. My MWF classes start at 9:30 and ends at 4:00 on MW and 2:30 F, and TuTh starts at 8:30 and ends at 1:30. I am EXHAUSTED by the ends of all of my days and I take naps nearly every afternoon. It's really bad...I am still not sure how I feel about my classes. All for now. Ask questions, get answers my loves. Done.

Jobwise...I haven't found a "real job" but I am getting paid to sing in a church choir which amounts to $200 a month for about 10½ hours of work...which is wonderful. It's a beautiful church, very small congregation, the choir is like a total of 10 people with me and the 3 other people on my floor that sing in the choir with me. Oh the stories...they could take up a whole entry. When I get the motivation I'll do it.

Boywise...Oh heavens, another full entry. And I don't have the emotional capacity to type it all out right now. Let's just say things have been really hectic. I am still single but I really think I met a guy that I want to know more...but he doesn't want to date. And it shattered me. That's all you need to know. I can't type more right now.

Partywise...Yeah bitches, I still haven't drank. WHAT NOW! And I probably won't. WSU is a pretty dry campus over all. Everyone does their drinking off campus (with the exception of some done on my floor but I just stay away from that cause it's BAD) and I really don't have the desire to at this point to drive clear across town for liquids...so oh well. I go clubbing every once in a while. But that will be done as of last weekend. I am in Topeka right now so I might visit the club here to say hi to some people, but after that, I am not going to Glacier in Wichita for a long time. That's where you meet boys that break your heart. lol. I'm dumb. I know. Done.

Ok, so I want letters and shit from you guys...I don't want to post my address on here, but please IM me AIM: Greentiger22 or email me at smartee66@hotmail.com or for the college folk, facebook message me and I'll give you my room number and stuff. I love you all. Hope you enjoyed this. Ask questions if you want to know more. Bye loves.

Peace be with you. Love sucks.
