| i am back in f-town. with no major injuries. except for the $400 ticket i almost got. but the police officer was out of tickets. seriously. some one is watching out for me. i'll be here only until the 20th. this could quite possibly be the only time i am home this summer. that is kind of sad. but this summer is going to be pretty rockstar.
first, i have an internship with the john edwards campaign. i basically get to learn how to run a campaign from the ground up. i am beyond excited. then i am going to hawaii for three weeks in july for a voice program. ricky ian gordan is going to be there as the composer in residence. he is also going to be doing workshops and directing one of his shows. this is a pretty sweet opportunity, and i am looking forward to it. like i said, it is going to be a pretty rockstar summer, even though i am going to be working 60 hours a week between my internship and the cheesecake factory. its just too bad that all of my friends and family cannot all be in the same place. this is why growing up is hard kids. seperation. le sigh.
but! i am excited to be here, regardless of the length! call me. i promise to be entertaining. or at least good company.

| i think that xanga has outlived its purpose. or at least it has for me.
. . .with that said, i am giving my first recital in 2 1/2 weeks. and the thought of it consumes all of my time. every time i sit down, i feel as if i should be practicing instead. its starting to wear on me. maybe i shouldn't be doing this to myself, but then again, my recital hearing is on wednesday. (this is where the decide if i am ready to give my recital). it is terrifying. i am only doing a half recital, because it is my junior recital, but i put 9 songs on my half (2 song cycles and 2 arias). wish me luck.
and in other news, i was on good morning america a week or so ago. you can check out the clip on my facebook (a much more relevant meduim). it is pretty exciting.
lovelovelove!

| i have to wonder how people can still deny that global warming exists when it pouring rain in the middle of december in iowa. . .
where is my snow?!?!
oh. and i'll be home on friday, god willing. and if my back to back post-tonal theory and music history exams (both complete with listening exams) do not cause my untimely death. here's to living.
love,
lynell
p.s. being legal is fabulous.  | | |

if you live in iowa. . . vote CULVER for governor and BOSWELL for congress!
(and if you disagree, feel free to vote for whomever.)

EDIT: it is a great day to be a democrat! thank god all of our hard work has finally paid off! this is proof that americans are ready for change and that grassroots efforts are truely the best means for change. it is was overwhelming amount of work, but well worth the time. i am glad that i could help. and in 2008 we are going to take it all! i can feel it. get ready. it will blow your mind. and change the world. in a positive way. . .finally.
HOORAY!!! | | |
| after two weeks straight of nothing but projects, papers, exams, midterms, work, and auditions, i am more than ready for this weekend of fabulousness. i do not believe that i have ever been more stressed in my life. school is ridiculous. i want to be done and move on. i love my friends and my voice lessons, and that is about it. everything else i could really care less about. in ten years it really won't matter what my gpa was. the only thing that really matters is how well i am doing in my lessons. and if i cannot get enough sleep because i have to stay up until all hours of the night 4 or5 days a week, then i really cannot sing my best, and it pisses me off. it causes me to backtrack. and not from a lack of practicing, i might add. not to mention i would love to drop my ed major more than anything right now. the classes don't excite me to teach. at all. i wish that i would have switched to politics last year when i had contemplated it the first time. and i have lost sight of the point of most of my acedemic classes. all i really want to do is sing and this is taking time away from it. i hate it. and i am always too exhausted after a full day of classes to practice for the two hours that i should. its times like this when i wish that i would have gone to a conservatory straight out of highschool. but no. i wanted to be well-rounded. what was i thinking? i wasn't. i don't want to teach. i never really have. i enjoy it in the right enviornment, but i think that being a classroom teacher would slowly eat my soul. i just want to sing. or go work for my cousin and start my career in politics. god. if that man does not run for president some day, i would be surprised.
but enough of that. this weekend is going to be amazing. just what the doctor ordered! then next week i am singing in the sai recital and competing at nats, and i have two more competitions/auditions the following weeks. yay! i am excited. but i can't help but remember last year at this time when we were all up in minneapolis to see nikki's show. that was wonderful. and the most amazing feat of friendship we had commited to that day. disney world wins. but still fabulous none the less. miss you guys!
what is everyone going as for halloween?
lovelovelove.
