Long time no update (kinda)...and I like to ramble.

It has come to my attention that I haven't posted in a while...the reason being I have nothing worthwhile to say but, I can hear you telling yourself "that has never stopped her before" and you are correct. But I thought I would add a little love to my blog and update. Here's all I got:

• I want to cut my hair...mainly because it is still really frizzy and there is nothing I can do with it, even the hair products my meme gave me can't tame it. I feel if I cut it, there will be less hair to manage and get frizzy. (nothing to crazy, like shoulder length)
• I am a huge procrastinator, like terribly so, but today and recently it has become especially bad with stuff for school...and mainly because it is reading..and also because it is for school. For example: 
• I need to have to page 195 of Invisible Man read by Wednesday and I am only on page 151...however, I am proud that I have been keeping up with the reading schedule so far and have managed to even read that many! 
• There is a book we need to read for my marketing of recorded music class called Hit Men. We don't even talk or do anything with this book in class so I find it kind of pointless, but we have to be reading it and taking quizzes online. They are all due October 21st. I think there are around 36 quizzes or so. I have only just read half of the first chapter...and I am really unmotivated to read anymore. I mean, I am already behind on Invisible Man! There is only so much reading my little pea brain can handle!!
• Also, i'm sure there is a bunch of other stuff for school I am not doing but, I try to block it all out from my brain to not think about it. (bad idea)
• just remembered, I need to be working on a paper for my African American history class. I should be e-mailing the teacher a topic to do it on sometime this week. It needs to be on integrating Invisible Man into other topics we have talked about in class and in the text book. (we have 3 texts that we are reading at the same time for that class...like I said, a lot of reading) And the whole paper is just making me more resistant to working on it because it just sounds like a lot of work and reading. 

Well, now that I have bored you with my boredom of school these days...I shall bore you more about whats been picking at my brain this week. (well, it is only Monday but, I always have a lot on my mind, haha)

Ever since I saw pictures and then set foot out in the Pacific Northwest I fell in love. It is, in my opinion, the prettiest part of the country I have seen. Is is so outdoorsy, and pretty, and full of creeks, and waterfalls, and pretty trees, I mean, I could just go on and on. So anyway, waaay back in the day when I was obsessed with Taylor Swift (oh gosh, God help me...my poor little soul, haha) I made a little group of friends online that were Taylor fans too. We all had myspaces and stalked Taylor and then became friends...i dunno, after seeing each other on taylors page so much? I don't even know anymore, haha. But anyway, so there is this girl and her name is Caitlyn. She is from the UK and we would message back and forth. We were friends for quite some time but you know, people get lives and myspace, well, is that a thing anymore even? haha. Well, we are friends on Facebook and I saw where not last summer but the summer before she came to America for the summer to work at a girl scout camp in Washington. I saw all of her pictures and got extremely jealous. It looked like a lot of fun and come on, the views and scenery were incredible! So this past summer I messaged her and asked about her experience and whatnot, she loved and highly recommended it. I actually thought about applying but, i'm sure my parents would have shot down the idea so, i just let it be. Anyway, I see again this summer where she is coming back to America and is going to be going to the University of Oregon. Because of the new Facebook changes, I am now seeing more of people that I normally didn't see updates from and she's been updating pictures from her time there so far. Today she uploaded pictures from her weekend where her and a group of friends went hiking and saw great waterfalls and beautiful trees. Anyway, it made me jealous. Jealous that she lived so close to all the prettyness (I just made a new word, deal with it) and that even though I did the same thing this weekend, I had to drive 2 hours on the interstate to get there...and it wasn't even as pretty as where they were!! So anyway, I have been thinking a lot lately that I reeeeally want to live out in the Pacific Northwest at some point in my life before I die. Not sure when, for how long, or what I would be doing there...but enjoying nature I suppose!! So anyway, there you have it and now you know. There is one of the places I must return. 

I know this has already been fairly long and boring so I won't type about anymore topics, but as mentioned above I did go hiking this weekend! Although I went at it alone (in Amy fashion) it was a lot of fun and I enjoyed myself. It was to a place 2 hours south west of here called Fall Creek Falls. It was great, I could literally stay in a 50 ft radius around a creek and be occupied for hours with my camera. (which is almost what happened, haha) So, here is a pic for your viewing pleaser. Keep an eye out for a whole album coming soon to Facebook. Thanks for reading and have a lovely week!!

...ok, I decided to add two. sorry.

Blogspot/Google is reeeally gettin' on my nerves -__-

After about 30 minutes of trying to log into this dang site, I have finally made it! When I came to do my first update since being back last week, it also took me a while to log on. For some reason, google wouldn't load this page and then it kept taking me to the my.belmont page to log in then it wouldn't let me log out of my belmont account that showed up when I was in google...it is just a mess. So i'm guessing this all might have to do with the fact that I have 2 google accounts. One that is with school that is connected to a pop account and then one that I have on my own...and also the fact that I don't even use my google account to log onto blogspot, I signed up with my yahoo e-mail address! haha. But, I digress. I just had to get that out because it has been reeeally frustratin' me and who am I kiddin' it isn't like anyone reads this thing anyway, haha. In spite of that last comment, I will still spare anyone the boredom of my update about Monday night (when I went to an amaaaazing show by Butterfly Boucher and Katie Herzig (two of my new favorite artists) and saw Missy Higgins there. ...cause anyone who reads this must be aware with my obsession appreciation of Missy.) (which, by the way, she left Nashville today...thought I should add)

Ok, so, I have a couple of topics I feel I could write about, but I feel like I have already written enough about these subjects (the future, school, a career) the past few months and wouldn't want to bore you even more. However, I am interning right now and literally have nothing else to do (other than input cd's, but how easy and un-time consuming is that? exactly.) So I feel the only way to consume my time at the moment is type. (although I guess I could try to look over some of my finance homework but, that isn't due for another 5 days so, who am I kidding? ...also, wrote an ethics paper earlier today that is due tomorrow so, got that out of the way...now what?) OH, OK, I thought of a topic.

I'm so excited about so much new music coming out soon! (three of which I have already mentioned just two paragraphs up, it shouldn't be too hard of a guess) But there was a cd that came out yesterday that is great and I would really recommend! Also, seeing as so many people are dumbfounded by the fact I don't listen to country to much anymore, I believe this is a good socially acceptable cd that would be a good example of the music I am in to (since everyone/anyone i've ever shown Missy Higgins to hates her -___-) SO ANYWAY, here it is, you ready? The cd that I bought today iiiis: Ben Rector. I listened to it on the way to, from, and once I got back from class. It really is a great cd. Actually, I need to correct myself, the cd is actually entitled Something Like This, byyy Ben Rector. But anyway, if anyone has an extra minute, they should go find it on iTunes and listen to the little snippets of the songs. Or, I will include a little youtube video on here of a preview of the cd...although it isn't that long or a preview of much of the songs so, I still recommend checking out iTunes. ;)

Alright well, THAT'S ALL FOLKS. I won't bore you any longer. You're welcome.

Internship season is in full swing and you know what that means!

Well, well, well. It has been quite some time. This good ole blog and I got to know each other quite well this summer, but I seem to have abandoned it for the past month. (Actually, come to think of it, I think my last entry was EXACTLY a month ago today...or at least that is when I was flying home from Regina. Man, how time flies.) Anyway, I would say I could fill you in on what has happened within that month but, i'm sure most of you have seen my Facebook at least once in that time and pretty much are caught up...for the most part.

As you could guess (well, unless you followed this blog way back in February-May) I tended to always update when I was interning. Last semester I'm sure it might have been frowned upon, but this semester at this internship, completely different story, so I don't have to feel bad about it! For those who might be unaware, I am interning this semester for a music supervisor, Rick. I go into some offices for a mastering company where Rick has all his cd's kept in their basement, and just enter the cd's into iTunes, just that simple. Yea, I might not be learning to much but, in all honesty, i am learning just as much here pretty much than I have at 2 of my other internships so, i'm not concerned. Also, there is something else i've kinda been working on. Let me inform you.

When I was searching for internships for this semester, I heard about Ten Out Of Tenn looking for an intern and thought that would be great. Well, I sent in my stuff, never heard back, end of story...so I thought. Well, I get an e-mail from the girl last week asking if we (whoever sent stuff in to intern originally I guess) would still be willing to help out. Since I have a lot of free time now (which I am most certain I will talk about in a future entry) I told her that I could still help out, even though I do already have another internship. So she was grateful and said she would hook me up with another girl that could delegate tasks out...Sarah. So I get an e-mail from Sarah, e-mail back and forth, and she gives me some stuff to do in preparation for the tour that is coming up in a week or so now. She then says their tour manager will most likely be needing some help and she was going to give him our e-mail addresses. So last night I get an e-mail from him, end up going over to his house and met up with him, Sarah, and another chick to work on some stuff in preparation of the tour (he has just gotten back from being on the road with David Barnes) So anyway, we are over there until around 11 or so and didn't quite finish everything (well, I finished my part, then went on to help the other girl, haha) so I ended up finishing the rest of what didn't get done last night today after class. I'm glad that they over at TOT ended up reaching out and I decided to help. It is not only some more contacts that I get but it also has been keeping me a little more busy...which is always a good thing. Not sure if I would be able to add this as an internship on my resume, but I think looking over contracts and putting together tour books is good experience. So anyway, that is what has been going on intern wise lately...which I think no one knew about...up until today when I filled my mom in. So the tour managers name is Seth and I know he is crazy busy right now, but I think I might ask him if he wouldn't mind telling me when it gets a little less hectic how he got started and whatnot, cause I still think tour managing would be interesting...I mean, a lot of work, but fun nonetheless...at least that is what I guess. I also realized more tonight during my marketing of recorded music class where I want my future career to head...or not head, but I will spare you for now and save that for a later post, haha.

Well, not sure if anyone cares or is even going to read this but...it's kinda been good reacquainting with my blog. Thanks if you made it this far! Man, you are one of a kind!! haha.

Update:
Also, I want to change my title of the blog for this semester. Any ideas are welcomed.
