What phrase best describes you?

It is that special time of year when we start to celebrate the holidays. I was thinking to myself how interesting religion is and how all Americans come from different, various religious backgrounds and walks of life. Religion, to me, is a strange concept that I don't think many of us will ever fully understand. During the winter season, Merry Christmas, is the phrase that best describes me. I am a Christian. For others, it may be Hanukkah, Kwanza, or simply and universally well-known, a "Happy Holidays." SO, whatever your following, Have a Happy, Blessed, Merry, and Wonderful Holiday this year. I will see you all again on January 4th!

FREEDOM>>> <3

I took my last final at 8:00 a.m. this morning and I just know that I passed it with flying colors. But before I took that final, I was up at 4:00 a.m. finishing a paper that was due for the same class. Luckily, I got it done on time. Unfortunately, I probably didn't include as many detailed sources as I should have. Oh well. That is the life of a college student for you. Up late, early in the morning, always behind schedule. Thank goodness for winter break and time to relax. I am going to treat my body to much needed healing through rest, working out, and DIETING......after New Year's of course. : P

Have a Happy Holidays everyone! May the joy of the season bless you and yours!!

One More Day!

I only have one more day of school for the Fall 2009 Semester. I still have a paper to write and a final tomorrow and then at 10 a.m. tomorrow morning, I will officially be on winter break! Some of my plans over the next few weeks include hanging with friends and family, catching up on Christmas Shopping, and ultimately, relaxing. Also, as mentioned before, my friend Van Bui and I are going to get together and watch movies to catch up on our musical theatre repertoire. It will be a much needed break. I will let you know tomorrow how my final went and what my plans are for that evening because I will want to go out and I'm sure there will be something going on since most students will be on break. Peace out bloggers and Talk to you SOON!!! Wish me luck on that last final.....I will need it!

'Tis the Season......

.........To be jolly. Fa la la la la, la la la la!! And for drinking hot tea! I love to drink hot tea during the warm winter months. Lately, I have been on a TAZO Brand tea kick, but right now, I like the classic Earl Grey flavor. My friend, Alyssa, suggested "Raspberry Passion" flavor by TAZO. If you haven't tried this flavor, you need to! It tastes so good. She says she drinks it cold during the summer months and mixes it with lemonade. But for now, drinking warm tea is the thing do to do for the cold season. Something about the warm, hot water makes me feel all warm and cozy inside. TAZO Brand tea can be found at any Starbucks location and I believe, Target. TAZO is also served in the Rhatigan Student Center on WSU campus for less than a dollar. Now, all we need is some snow!!

SAS Formal

Last Saturday night was the 2009 Student Amabassador Society Winter Formal. This year was a special year in SAS history because it was the 15th Anniversary of the orginization. Several alumni of the group attended the event and a video slideshow was played to share memories over the past year. It was a lot of fun because we danced the night away and ate a ton of food. Plus, it was nice to meet the charter members of the group and see old friends that had graduated only two years ago from Wichita State. It was a perfect night to relax right before finals. Now, today, I have one final to take. Not looking forward to it, but at least my mind is clear and refreshed from formal! Peace out fellow bloggers!

Finals are Next Week

I am so excited for finals next week! WHY?? Because it is the last week of school and plus it is the time to prove to your teachers that you actually know and are able to retain the information they have taught you. I have a total of five finals, one of which I already took and the rest which will be just as difficult. I am especially not looking forward to my music theory final, where we have to read music, build triads, and invert chords as well as notate key signatures and types of cadences. My friend Van Bui and I are going to get together and study. She is hilarious! And after we take our final, we are getting together and watching some of the greatest musicals in musical theatre history to expand our performing and repertoire knowledge. Thank goodness that I actually like school and enjoy what I am studying......just hope I can make a career out of it. Talk to you on Sunday after the SAS Formal! I am looking forward to that much needed break right before these finals start next week!

Last Week of School

Okay folks. This is the last week of school for the Fall Semester of 2009 and what a whirlwind it has been. I still need to finish my paper that is due this Thursday and catch up on a couple of things, but luckily I stayed on the ball for the whole semester and don't feel too behind. I am very much excited for the spring semester. Recently, I was elected Student Ambassador Society President and am very excited to get things rolling for the coming year. I have auditions for next year's musicals as well. Wish me luck! I feel prepared for those as well. I have my outfit picked out, songs to sing and a monologue that screams, "CAST ME!" I will keep you posted on how things are going with auditions and school. I know I will be ready for SAS Formal come Saturday evening. It will be a great way to cut loose right before the start of finals! CIAO!

Its a Love Story.....YEAH.......

Taylor Swift will be coming to Wichita soon and it is already sold out. Tickets for second row in the new arena went for $5,000 each. FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS?? Really? That is way too expensive, but if you are an eight time Grammy nominated artist, then it might be well worth attending. It is very exciting that she will be coming to Wichita but what an expensive prive to charge for tickets. I guess when you write huge hits like Love Story and Tear drops on My Guitar you can do about anything you want.

Education

Have you ever noticed how important it is to get a good education? I have seen the benefits of what a well-rounded education can offer me, especially an undergraduate, college degree from Wichita State. There are many benefits from attending Wichita State University. First, a great collegiate atmosphere. Many students are seen on campus studying diligently and wearing Shocker colors. Secondly, a great faculty and staff. Typically, the teacher to student ratio is 18 to 1 which then enhances the idea that you are receiving adequate attention. Finally, what better way to recieve a great education than within the limits of a metroplitian city. By studying in the city, you can see what it is like to eventually live out the career of your dreams by being apart of the Cooperative Educational and Work-Based Learning Program. As one can see, the possibilities of attending WSU are tremendously endless.
