NOC Roust About!

I'm am now a future NOC (Norther Oklahoma College) Roust About!

     I know you're just burning to know how it happened, so here it is!

    The other day, Wednesday or Thursday, I went shoe shopping with my mother  : ) And out of all the people that could have been working at the store that day, a lady named Abby was. We start to look around the store and try pairs of shoes on and she comes over to help us, after a bit of looking she shows me the EXACT pair I was dreaming of and a conversation ensues about shoe colors and the Gala at NOC. Cut to her telling us that Roust Abouts are still needing some people and that I should go audition! I thought that was a great idea so I naturally called administration and soon I was talking to Dana!
    Dana, is a crazy, lovely lady and she was very sweet and enthusiastic over the phone when she told me that all the vocal slots for the Roust Abouts were filled, but they happened to need a guitarist! I told her that my skill level was probably too low to play for them, but she said to go ahead and come audition. the next hours of my life were full of song sorting and guitar practice. I decided to sing and play I will Glory in My Redeemer from church and I'm glad that I didn't think twice about it!
    All went well when I played, as far as I could tell anyways, then I left the room so they could talk. When I came back I had to sight read a little, which I had hoped I wouldn't have to do, but I survived : ) and THEN they asked me to play on an electric guitar as well. When I was finished, I left the room again. Let's just say that I was pretty nervous at that time, but I went to the green room and had an absolutely great time visiting with the Roust About group. It was amazing being accepted and welcomed by all of them!
    Long story short, I called yesterday to see if I could audition vocally, and got a guitar AND vocal audition TODAY!!!! I think I had 24 hours, if that much, to prepare, sleep and audition!
    I guess the real reason I wanted to write this is to thank all of you for your faith in me and you prayers for me : ) I don't think I could have done it without you all : )

Yes, I have holes in my mouth, what of it?

   In case you didn't know, I had my wisdom teeth out last week on Thursday. It went quite well; very well compared to what I had envisioned in my head, (drills breaking and slicing my tongue off, that sort of thing) but still, I have not been a happy camper for the last week. 

   First of all, I like being able to chew! And when you take that away from me, my life starts a downward slope.

   Second, I really like being a normal human NOT on narcotic pain meds. And when you put those pills in your body you cannot be responsible for what you do, or do not, do! So really it's not my fault that I don't quite remember everything that happened last week... right? : )

   ANYWAYS the good thing about feeling bed is that you appreciate the good time so much more! So today I appreciate the fact that I feel well enough to go and intern at the art center.

   Did I tel you that I'm interning again? This time I'm teaching a pottery class! How cool is that? It's a lot of fun, but very tiring. I get to stand up and walk from station to station for three hours while trying to make eight year-olds understand that a big lump of clay needs to be turned into something beautiful that WONT explode in the kiln, but art is art and children will be... children! The kids that I teach are all real sweethearts, which is good, because I don't think I would be sane right now if they weren't : )

   Well there is a life to be lived off of this computer, so farewell for now!
