I miss tour. I miss the whole environment.. I liked the feeling of waking up & not having to worry about anything. I totally forgot about school and drill and grades while I was there. Since I have nothing better to do, I guess I'll update about it.
Wednesday: Arrived at the hotel, watched crime shows & napped for 2 hours for a lack of anything better to do, ate at Cici's -- probably gained like 10 pounds from that one meal, did some "yoga" to try & work off the pizza weight, checked out the hot-tub for a bit, worship.. lalala, forgot what happened after that.
Thursday: Sang at Southwestern, did alright-ish. They had some AMAZING cornbread - I ate like 4 pieces. Toured the campus & found out that my tour guide was one of my counselors from camp, freaking bipolar weather over there, chilled at the hotel, went to Cici's.. lost my voice.
Friday: Sang at some Academy. Did alright-ish, but then got owned by their choir afterwards. They were REALLY good. & this one chick looked like she could've been in her own Disney channel show, got back to the hotel & then went to watch Date Night.. we had the whole theater to ourselves.. it was pretty sweet :) Ate at Cracker Barrel. FREAKING BOMB BISCUITS. Felt like heaven in my mouth. Took pictures on a bridge, got back to the hotel, drove to our next concert but ended up not singing 'cause they forgot we were coming, got mexican food instead. BEST idea ever. Sang outside afterwards & totally butchered it. Drove around Dallas -- it's so pretty @ night. Went back to the hotel.
Saturday: Our performance for church on Saturday was amazing :)) Or at least I thought it was. Compared to how we've sang in the past, it was really really good. Put everyone in a good mood for the rest of the day. Ate some yummy Mediterranean-ish food for lunch & met the cutest little kids :) Got on the bus & went "sight-seeing" around Dallas which consisted of looking at metal bulls & then going back to the hotel. Left for our last performance a little later.. we sounded even better than we did that morning. Freaking EMOTIONAL afterwards. Mr. Knippy was crying 'cause it was his last concert he'd conduct during tour so we all gave him a huge group-hug.. Cried happy tears. Saturday was definitely my favorite day out of tour. Even though we sucked in the beginning, we got 3 people to start attending church & to get baptized from our performances on Saturday. It was all worth it. Got back to the hotel, ate at Waffle House..
Sunday: SIX FLAGS. Lost my voice even more from all the screaming I did. I actually rode some LEGIT roller coasters & not the kiddy ones. I'm proud of myself. Katie's right.. if you don't have a good group to stay with, it sucks. Good thing we had a good group though :) & I had Katie to stay with when everyone went on Superman & Titan. Such a fun day. Spent time & bonded with people I never really talked to before. I was so exhausted when we got back. Our whole room fell asleep until worship. Mr. Knippy surprised us all with red velvet cupcakes form Sprinkles ♥ Wrote notes to each other.. it was so touching what people said :) Sat in the lobby with everyone & conversed with drunk people. Funniest thing ever. Late night movies with everyone in room 239, packed, & then went to bed.
Monday: Woke up LITERALLY 5 minutes before we had to leave. Shasta & I are amazing. Got ready & were out the door right on time. Traveled home..
*For everything else I missed.. just look at Shasta's twitter -- www.twitter.com/shastily. She updated about every second we were there about what we were doing. Haha.
Probably the best week of junior year. Even though we were stuck in a boring hotel in the middle of nowhere, I honestly didn't care by the end of the trip. Once everyone got past the fact that we couldn't really do anything or go anywhere, that's when it became fun. We found our own ways to have fun.. I bonded with people I never thought I would & got closer to people I was already close with. My roommates were amazing (= Katie, Shasta, & Melon. Hm, lots of memories made in that room ;) Late night television.. sketchy stuff. *Sigh, I miss it =/
Gahd that was long.
1. GIVE ME MY SPACE. Seriously. This always happens to me, & this is how I deal with it. Sorry.
2. You have no idea how much I'm going to miss the both of you next year :( Pro musica definitely won't be the same. Ily guys ♥
3. There will always be something about you that just sets you apart from the rest of them.. but I still can't figure out what it is.
4. Being at six flags reminded me of you.. Oh goodness, I miss
