¡Bienvenido!

So hey - I'm in Denver right now....just got done sitting in the hot tub : aaah: Not to continue to talk about the hot tub...but it is my one true love (besides the bassoon). And here's why: When you sit in the hot tub your whole body melts and you automatically lean back your head ....then the best part - seeing the night sky with no city lights around....it's so relaxing and all my stress just waits on the deck for me, it's not allowed to come in the hot tub. Yes, it comes back after I"m done - but for that brief 10-15 minutes (not too long - you might dehydrate) I'm stress - free - and that. is. awesome.


Anyway - I finally got a phone and it rocks my socks - seriously it's the hot sh*t. too bad it'll be uncool again in about 10 seconds hahah

But yes, things are starting to straighten themselves out. I got two of the more stressfull items out of my way, my dad's feeling better, and Linda's actually being cool about letting me pay her off. So come November I think everything will be ok.

I called in today - I was scheduled (to be by myself) for 2.5 hours . . . . I was planning on coming home since I won't be able to again until like the end of October - and NO ONE would work for me. NO ONE. IT'S TWO AND A HALF HOURS! With as much work as I put into that place you'd think they'd help me out a little. So I called my GM and told him the truth - that I wanted to stay home to be with my family, and that everyone was being little bitches about working for me. (pardon my French, but they were). THey didn't even have good reasons...one was like " I don't want to drive all the way to work for only 2.5 hours of work" well you know somethin...ME NEITHER! roar.

So yeah, I think I'm gonna talk to my boss, and if they fire me, so what? Maybe that's what needs to happen. We'll see. But the bad part is that I can't help but feel bad. Especially b/c Elizabeth would never do something like that (ie. call in when you're not sick/dying, etc.)....but I totally think it was worth it. Today was the only day I didn't have to do osmething for once - and that. is. awesome. (if you didn't notice already - that's the catchphrase of the day)

THat's about all - I'll be going back early tomorrow morning, I gotta write a spanish paper.

oh and being a sousa is the most best thing ever in the universe ever - I LOVE it!

much love guys,
K*Rah

I really do.....I had the most fun EVER there! everyone was so kind, didn't care what anyone thought of them, and everyone was there for the music. Any place where everyone's love of music unites them has got to be a place for me.

So then I came back to the real world....a world where you have to lock your doors, the air conditioning is bitterly cold, the food is full of things your body doesn't want you to eat, and there's no music.... (my CD player at home is broken) So yeah - the moral of the story is taht I miss Mannerland

But it is nice to have a toilet and a bed, I'll say that much. It's also nice to see everyone I missed while gone

I'm getting digital cable and road runner on Monday! w00t! Finally

That's about it - I seriously have to start getting straight A's. SERIOUSLY!

I still haven't figured out the quittage or non-quittage of Sam Ash thing. Maybe I'll go to the cinema right meow. okbye


Also : HAPPY BIRTHDAY MELINDA! She= the coolest ever.


the End.

<3 Katrin


p.s. - you shoudl call my phone and listen to the message - we made a rave on my phone!

What kind of band geek are you?

are one of my favorite flowers I think.....I don't know, because I like daisies a lot as well as tiger lilies.....do you really have to have a favorite flower?

Anyway - I talked to Señor JJJJJJJJJaimes and he was super cool and nice about everything. However, I have to write 3 papers tonight para mi clase de español mañana. Don't worry they're short and only 2 count for a grade


But also I think Pack It Up will be rehearsing again someday soon....or at least I hope so, I miss singing

And when I get my financial aid refund I'm gonna do a jig because I think I'll be able to get new glasses and contacts!!! Hooray vision!!! And maybe jeans since I don't have any of those, we'll see

Today I have a geology test, and I had a Spanish test (other spanish class) except that I didn't know......so it was kinda like a pop test, but it's all good. I think I did well regardless

But here's the good news: I DON'T HAV ETO WORK TODAY yippee! Except for the papers.......but they don't count!

This entry is very A.D.D

So when I got my digital cable installed I found out I signed up for a lot more than I thought I did. I have HBO and DVR (the recording TV stuff). Although it's more expensive...that's my only other bill besides rent so I'm thinking of keeping it - because it's the most fun ever

So I might go eat things b/c all these people are crowding me waiting for this computer (I'm in the library p.s.)

But one last thing: I'm gonna learn bass from my friend Bill and I'm gonna teach him spanish in return. I'm so very excited because that'll be good spanish teaching practice for me and I'll be learning bass and that's the hot sh*t. Basically, I play the most instruments ever but none can be in a band and I want to be in a band therefore I will play bass. That and there aren't enough female bassits in the world.

the End!

<3Katrin.

p.s. - no one can spell daffodill ever

So this weekend was fun, consisted of chillage w/fun and exciting people and not to mention a WIN at VA tech w00t

But tonight was the most fun...I worked (as usual) then afterwards Pickle, E-beth, Montal and I went to see the Forgotten. OMG it was so good, I'll definitely go see it agian! It was awesome w/Montal next to me he's such a hoot

So then the four of us hung out at E-beth's for a second and she and I sang some Alicia keys - good stuff.

Then we (me and e-beth) went to the Brewery to see a freestyle battle - Sami and Marcus DJ there. IT was my first live hip hop experience. It was awesome, and although I currently cannot hear out of either ear, I had a blast. However, it made me think of Marley always *tear* love you marley!

So I'm gonna go take as hower then fall asleep to the sound of my wind chimes.....my weekend is over . . . .

g'night!

p.s. I can't wait for Pack It Up to start again!!!!

Today was an awesome day

This morning in geology this chick comes up and is like " have you done your webassigns?" and I, of course, hadn't so we went to the library and got them done in like 25 min. (if that!) That was awesome. I had 6 tonight and if I had done it alone I would've been at the library from about 8 till 11 tonight. ja0wp34eaep9r4u hy

So then I found out that everything financiallyw ill be okay, sooner than I thought - that is THE biggest load off my back! I cannot describe how much stress money has been causing me lately and to have it fixed is an awesome feeling. I can even start paying my grandparents soon for the cougar

Thennnnnnnnn after figuring out what money had to go where, I had $100 leftover that I set aside to do whatever I want with. SO I bought a bunch of CDs ! (and still have some of the 100 left!) I bought Simon and Garfunkel - The Essential, Portishead - Roseland, NYC Live, Alicia Keys - The Diary of Alicia Keys, and the Garden State soundtrack. I haven't listened to Garden State yet b/c I want to see the movie first but I've listened to parts of all the others and so far (after day 1) the portishead CD is incredible , I absolutely love it. Not that I bought them to compare them to each other, because they're all different types of music anyway, .....

which brings me to my next point:

I ramble a lot and sometimes after I finish talking I'm like " wow I never shut up" but I'd like to take this time to say that Lindsey ( I hope it's with an e, I ALWAYS forget) is awesome! I love talking to her and she always listens - we have the best conversations. Love you lindsey!

So then tongiht a bunch of us went bowling and while I didn't do that well (91 and 95), I had a blast!! I <3 bowling.

then after that, we all went over to E-beth's and chilled. Then when everyone left she and i sat there and listened to the Simon and Garfunkel CD (disc 1) I was so glad I brought it over there b/c I knew she'd be able to tell me about each song and what not.

Ok last thing - Pack It Up is starting up agian (finally!!) and so far I've gotten 5 inquiries for new members. YAY! We still need a couple basses and 2 vocal percussionists though.

Well I hope you all had a good day as well!

much love,
Katrin
