100th post

It's my 100th post here...this post probobly will be short considering I have to head of to class shortly (even though I really dont want to go!).

It's been kind of a long day between getting to school, studying for class, voting in the election, and trying to catch up on e-mails and other internet related things. I have been way to busy latley. I can't wait for thanksgiving when things will calm down, even if its only for three or four days.

Last night I had a bell choir rehersal. It was one of many rehersals between September and December. The weird thing about last night was that I finally realized just how close I've gotten to the other people that I play with. After the rehersal was done our director, Diane, had myself and a couple of other people stay after the rehersal. That was when I realized something...Diane said something about how when i moved during the rehersals from E and F four to Bflat and C 6 and 7, she expected me to ring the Bflat and C like I ring the fours (ring them so hard the Bflat and C would make our eardrums burst), but was amazed that I didn't. I hadn't really thought about how big of a change that is until Diane mentioned it. Becky (one of the other people I play with in the bell choir) also said something to me that kind of amazed me. She said something to the extent of that I wasn't just one of the youngest in the choir and hadnt been playing as long as some other people had, but also am at the same level as someone else in the choir. I can't wait for the thanksgiving eve service at my church--we're doing a mass bell choir with two or three bell choirs from the area which will sound amazing!

I noticed I havent posted here for a while, so it was time to get back into a habit of writing on here. Typical Erin style! I get good about posting here, then forget too for a while. I guess that's just life.

I've got my mid-term today, so I'm a little nervous as usual. I always get nervous just before my mid-terms. I'll survive somehow...just like I always do. I know I'll be out of town on November 1 and 2nd visiting my brother at Western Michigan. That'll be interusting since I havent seen the campus yet. I need to get going now to do some last minute studying for my class.

I'm back!

So my life has calmed down for at least this week. My teacher canclled class for this week since he's out of town, and couldnt find a sub. So this week (until about friday night) is rather calm and easy going, which is unusual.

As my close friends know, I'm a youtube addict. Just today, I found someone on youtube who's voice I have fallen in love with. He is an amazing singer, so I suggest you check him out. His site is:

I'm not sure which one of his videos I like the most yet. This next link I'm giving you is to one of his videos, which is great. I know it's not Christmas yet, but I've found myself listening to Christmas music starting around the time of Haloween the past two years (2006 and 2007), and I'm sure it is going to continue this year. So check out this song:

One of the things I love about youtube is that I have found so many amazing artists through it.

Love ya!

In my personal life things have been going crazy. I'm still taking my class at Delta College, and am enjoying it. In my last post I wrote about love. It's amazing the number of things that have changed since I posted. Since then I've gotten over my first love, and fallen in love with someone else that is a definate possibility. That's where I'll leave it. Life sure does play a wild card on us sometimes.

What else has happened since my last post here? Let me see. I've done a lot of searching for my place in this world. I definatly have found a few places that I think I might belong. I can hardley wait to see if one of the places that I might work out. I sure do hope this works out the way I hope it will. I'll make sure to post something here as soon as I know if something falls through that could allow for some major life changes.

I've also found that I am beggining to look forward to the moment when a relationship definatley works out in my favor.

Oh the chaos!

Yes my life has been chaotic the past few weeks. I've been trying to update two blogs, going to class for six hours a week, doing my homework, studying for quizes, going to a bell choir rehersal, watching the season premiere of Greys Anatomy, watching part of the presidential debate, trying to keep up with the news, writing a screenplay, and babysitting. As if that's not enough I've had something spectaculare happen. I fell in love. I'm not even joking. Before I address this whole falling in love thing, I need to address anouther issue that I think I need to adress here.

I met Wendy years ago. It's really hard to know exactly when I met her, but we definatly met through church. We've both spent a fair amount of time watching our churchs mens slow pitch softball team. Over the years I was strangley fasinated by Wendy, but never quite knew why. I still really dont know why was so facinated by her at first. As I spent more and more time working in the church nursery, the more I realized just how neat Wendy was and still is. To put it bluntley...Wendy's married and has three kids, and I babysitt those three kids on ocasion. How weird. I'm in love with a lady that I babysitt for. How much weirder can it get? I guess I'll put up with being in love with someone I just can't have. I've kind of known over the years that this would happen eventually, and I'd have to deal with something like this. At least I can hope that someday I'll find someone who I fall in love with that isn't married, and they will fall in love with me. It's like what happened on Grey's Anatomy during the season premier this past thursay.

I'm off to check on the kids (the same three mentioned above). I bet their still fasinated by the episode of the cartoon spider man their currently watching! Adios!

Learning German

Learning German isnt easy. Nobody said it would be easy, but Im still working on it. Thank god for youtube videos in German. Thats always a great way to learn by using a german translator and youtube videos! This next section is only going to be in German, so if you dont know any german, you'll have to find a german translator, someone who knows English and German, or some way to translate it.

Mein Apotheke-Technologie-Programm in der Schule ist ziemlich gut bis jetzt gegangen. Der härteste Teil hat bis jetzt das allgemeine und Markennamen für die 100 ersten meisten vorgeschriebenen Rauschgifte gelernt. Das Lernen des Deutsches hat definatly gewesen eine lustige Brechung vom ganzen Studieren, das ich getan habe. Aber das Lernen, auf Deutsch zu schreiben, hat länger genommen. Ich bin contstantly das Aufblicken von Dingen (wie, wie man ausspricht und Dinge buchstabiert). Gerade nimmt das Schreiben dieser Abteilung nur auf Deutsch eine Weile, weil ich dont wissen alle Wörter, die ich verwenden wollte, so habe ich Hälfte die Wörter ausgesehen. Das Lernen einiger Wörter, und wie man sie ausspricht, ist eaisier dank des Überflusses an Videos / Audio auf youtube "von Schlecht" gewesen.

That took a while. I had to look up quite a bit of information just to make sure I got everything I wanted to blog about in german correct. Its a lot harder to do than I thought it would be, but hey...at least that forced me to start learning more German than just the lyrics to "Wicked".
