730a-930a 4/26 MUH2512 final
730a-930a 4/27 BSC2010 final

=)

I remember a year ago I was standing in the crowd 
waiting for my chance to break through, my chance to live again. 
Now it seems I've found some friends who finally understand what it takes 
to make this dream come true, we'll be here till the end. 
Shake it, break it, get off your feet, 
come dance with me and don't you fake it. 
Shake it, break it get off your feet, 
get close to me and don't you fake it. 
Shout and scream my friends, connect with me and we'll pretend 
this night will never end.
Just let go you'll see together we'll do anything 
this night will never end. 
 
I'm reaching out here to show you what we've been through 
I think there's something we can share, that's completely new 
or maybe I'm just insane Take time to contemplate who you are and where you want to go.

yay!!

sooo i talked to my advisor today, and apparently im not the only music therapy major who is also interested in healthcare and is currently taking and planning on taking premed classes. Im doing really well in bio and i like it, and im excited about the music therapy classes b/c they look really interesting. I get to have a senior project recital which i can do several different things with, but I want to just have a regular recital. Im sooo happy! Now i can do everything i want to and I finally figured out sort of what i want to do with my life. I was really relieved to hear that there are other people who are in same predicament as me, and i know its going to be a lot of work, but I know that it will become clear what i should be doing with my life. i cant wait until next year !!!

Baptized in the river
I've seen a vision of my life
And I want to be delivered
In the city with the sinner
I've done a lot of things wrong
But I swear I'm a believer
Like the prodigal son
I was out on my own
Now I'm trying to find my way back home
Baptized in the river
I'm delivered
I'm delivered

to make a mountain of your life is just a choice
but I never learned enough
to listen to the voice that told me
always love, hate will get you every time
always love, dont wait till the finish line
and i've been held back by something,
he said to me quietly on the stairs.
i've been held back by something,
you said to me quietly on the stairs.
you said…
hey, you could once
hey, you could once

i love justin timberlake. !!! its so versatile. you can study to it, or run to it, or just rock out to it.

Wed, 17 Jan 2007 22:54:46 GMT

who thought wed still have livejournal 4 years later? lol

(well in sarahs case, 5 years)

i think i want to change my major. science just comes naturally to me and even though i suck at math i can do it when its in bio or chem b/c theres a concept to apply it to. music just isnt coming to me easy, which i guess doesnt really mean anything; singing has always been fine, but theres a lot more to being a music major than just applied lessons. besides, im not an exhibitionist like a singer should/needs to be, id rather sit in the library and read.

w/e

i wish my new running shoes didnt suck. i miss my old ones =(

Life is too short to wake up in the morning with regrets.
Love the people who treat you right,
Forget about the ones who don't
And believe that everything happens for a reason.
If you get the chance, take it.
If it changes your life, let it.
Nobody said it would be easy, they just promised
That it would be worth it.

things are gonna be a lot more chill this semester (which is definately a good thing), i just hope we dont get bored.

Tue, 09 Jan 2007 05:42:35 GMT

and I never said I’d take this
I never said I'd take this lying down

You always come close but this never comes easy
I still know everything

youve been studying too long if...

Thu, 14 Dec 2006 05:25:31 GMT

1. when you read in "The Harvard Concise Dictionary of Music and Musicians" that a divertimento is "a variety of secular intstrumental works for chamber ensemble or soloist between 1750-1780" you start to laugh out loud for an extended period of time becuase HOW in the world can an instrumental piece be secular?? as opposed to sacred??? this is nonsensical....

2. your past 3 days have been spent either studying or taking a test, talking to others only when they intersect one of these two goals.

3. your ipod dies 3 times a day/night (ok maybe thats just me)

4. strozier is home...

5. sleep...whats that?

And will you tell all your friends
you've got your gun to my head
This all was only wishful thinking...
Hoping for the best, just hoping nothing happens
A thousand clever lines unread on clever napkins
I won't ever never ask, if you don't ever tell me
I know you well enough to know you never loved me

"Didnt I tell you, that I could hear you running out
Didnt I find you, when I knew you were hiding out
Didnt I see you, when you thought youd never stand out"

(RVA nov. 22-26.....)

{tell me what you thought about
when you were gone and so alone
the worst is over
you can have the best of me
we got older but we're still young
we never grew out of this feeling that we wont give up
here we lay again
on two separate beds
riding phone lines
to hear that familiar voice
and pictures brought from memory
we reflect on miscommunication
and misunderstandings,
and missing each other too
much to have had to let go
we turn our music down
and we whisper
say what your thinking right now
jumping to conclusions
made me fall away from you}

this quote is about the greatest thing ever.

"I would remind you that extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice, and let me remind you also that moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue." -Senator Barry Goldwater

yeah, livejournal is lame. its kinda nostalgic though, it reminds me of when sarah came to visit during the snowstorm and made kathy and i get livejournal so we could read each others glorious thoughts. livejournal was SO COOL in high school. so was AIM but that is still so. wow there are so many ways to pracrastinate! but i am going to study now. for serious!

i thank You God for most this amazing
day:for the leaping greenly spirits of trees
and a blue true dream of sky;and for everything
which is natural which is infinite which is yes

(i who have died am alive again today,
and this is the sun's birthday;this is the birth
day of life and love and wings:and of the gay
great happening illimitably earth)

how should tasting touching hearing seeing
breathing any-lifted from the no
of all nothing-human merely being
doubt unimaginable You?

(now the ears of my ears awake and
now the eyes of my eyes are opened)
-ee cummings

yessss

Thu, 01 Jun 2006 20:59:17 GMT

its official, my laptop is dead. the people at VCUonline worked very dilligently at trying to fix it because they "thought it was too nice a computer to ruin" and i will sorely miss going to the commons after class to check on its status and chat with the slightly dorky but cute college student computer nerd who works behind the desk. life is sad!!! i will miss my IBM dearly. :(

prayer request

Sun, 21 May 2006 17:16:17 GMT

So I was at church this morning, and I found out that a family in our congregation was driving to Florida to go to a wedding, and for some reason their daughter was driving seperately, and she got in a car accident and died. If anyone who might read this would pray for them that would really be great, its such a sad situation. The daughter's name was Jane. I just got really freaked out because ive done that drive from richmond to florida a lot and it is rather treacherous. anyway please pray for them, thanks !!!
