get-away weekend

yes, it's true, i wasn't in school on friday

i slept in.. made waffles, and began the fun rach(a)el-filled weekend in Penn State. It was really a great time, with a good balance of deep conversation and fun things to do. Now i'm pretty sure every one who knows rachel monheit got a phone call asking a few questions to determine their personality type! wonderful.

has anyone ever had a massage? because i have to say i've always wanted to get one, i just picture it as this glamorous event. so of course, we all went this weekend to the penn state massage center. i can't tell if i look back on it as more funny or relaxing, cause the whole event was different than anything i've done. I mean.. you strip down in a room (we were all in the same room), and then have a sheet over you. (then we say we're ready for them to come in... and they take a while, and rachael gets up to remove jewelry, and they walk in on her half-naked!) ..and then a guy breaks out the lotion or whatever those oils were and works up one leg, and on to the next one... eventually massaging almost* every part of your body. sounds... sexual maybe? and i know its not supposed to be. but damn... i guess i'll just say... i hope whoever i end up with knows how to massage like that!

anyway.. it was a good time, and i look forward to when i'm an undergrad somewhere.. makin friends with ppl and having all of these types of adventures all the time. it's weird to think that its actually gonna happen. (still the thought of it is better than me going to school tomorrow for the who-knows-how-many day) it's kinda hard for me to stay on track school, cause i dont feel connected to it really, and yeah theres good times to be had in school, but theres just SO many more outside of it.

i'm still working on the recordings.. right now is when i'm going to give out copies of my cd's to a few somewhat professional people that i know that will give me feedback... then i re-record or add tracks and keep going. tomorrow i get to meet with a lady from LA that has made soundtracks for movies and tons of other cool stuff with music. I'm pretty excited. Last thursday i was going over my songs with nuc.. and he thought it would be helpful to listen to some artists that encorporate a good flow in their songs (its hard to explain this sort of thing), but this guy andrew norsworthy is SO incredible. I recommend listening to his music when you have the time, cause you'll fall in love with it.

well i better get back to the home-realities of homework and figuring out how the hell i can schedule and be ready for an audition at belmont university in the next 10 days! (that deadline came out of NOWHERE!) wish me luck (and a miracle or 2),
