Tomorrow evening at around 6pm I can finally say to myself, wow, I just survived my first semester of college. It's crazy to think how fast it went by. I have to get a B on my biology final tomorrow in order to pass the class. I really hope I can pull it off. I've been studying non stop for that class for a week. I seriously don't think i've ever studied for a class that much in my entire life. I better get that B. After I take my exam I will hop into the van and drive home for three solid weeks. I really don't want to leave though. I'm very content with my living arrangements. I have great friends from high school here, I have my cello cult, I have a new friend from my bio lab who i'm in love with, and I have my amazing roomate. I probably could not ask for anything more except maybe a companion which I do not have to call my friend.
I went to my cello teachers house Monday night for an end of semester party. We met his wife and children and went sledding in his backyard. It was very nice just being able to chill with him outside of the formal school atmosphere. Plus Garret drove our cello cult and we listened to Tonio's awesome jams. I never knew it but Kanye totally took all of the digital "faster, stronger" stuff from Daft Punk. So I went to iTunes and bought the Daft Punk cd and it is amazing. It's my new dance mix. I'm also mildly obsessed with Girl Talk. And Superbad.
I don't have very high hopes for this break. If it's anything like the last break where most of my friends were too busy to hang out with me then it's really going to suck. I really want there to be a ton of scenics rehearsals but after my conversation with Nick tonight I highly doubt that it's going to happen. I decided to go up north with my parents for new years because I already know that I would get more out of it than sitting at home. I'm going to learn my cello pieces and knit Kaleigh's boyfriends scarf. Those are my goals. Anything else that happens will just be a bonus.
But looking on the brightside: after tomorrow, no more bio, no more bio! hurray!!!!!!!!

There is nothing better than weekends at Grand Valley. Everyone goes home or to other colleges and all that is left on this quiet, empty campus is me and my friends. The practice rooms are open, the air smells of approaching winter, the leaves are full of dimished cholorphyll and fall in my hair as i walk quicky to class. My cello playing, guitar playing, singing, and keyboarding is improving empecably. However, my love life is dwindling faster than you can say Whore Horse. My roomate is being injected with more vaccines and medications for her new job then i could have ever imagined. I'm afraid she might explode with hep B fluids. "My mother didn't believe in vaccines. I got my small-pox the old fashioned way and I survived. Beat that hospitals." I never thought that i could fall in love with a television show as much as i have fallen in love with The Office.
I need a new pair of boots, I need to stop eating cheez-its, dresses are no longer appropriate due to the weather, I HATE doing laundry, I still have two thank you notes to write from my graduation party, we don't take enough pictures, and worst of all; he doesn't even like me.
I got a haircut. I have an emo swoop. And i have a nose ring. It's silver and 'IN YOUR FACE'. My sight singing teacher, Chuck Norris (yes, i swear, that's his real name) said that i was Spunky and Awesome. I love that man.
I wish that I had new music on my computer. As much as I'm in love with the new Radiohead cd, i really need more.
Facebook has officially taken over my life.

College update. My classes are going well for the most part. I'm a little bit behind in music theory because of my trip to Chicago this past weekend but I can fix that this week. My trip went really well and I cannot wait to go back in the spring. It was nice seeing all my camp friends and it was definately worth the crazy traveling excursions. I have decided to pass the time by completing a survey that I did when i was a freshman in high school. We'll see how much has changed...
I'm starting to really get settled into a routine here. I love my roomate, my friends, my teachers, classes... It's been a really good experience so far. I'm learning how comfortable I am being on my own and how comfortable friendships can feel even though I may not want them. When is it better to have a relationship with someone and when is it better to just stay friends? I need to find that out soon. And I need to stop being comfortable with just being friends. I have enough guy friends, it's time for a change.

College...College...College...
My classes are stressful. I hope I can do well in them.
Music Theory - hard as fuck but I know I can pull through
Keyboarding - easy, muscle memory works
Cello Class - mmm scales
Orchestra - FUN
Aural Perception/Sight Singing - Going to be the death of me
Ethics - Was going to be interesting until it turned into a Jesus loving fest
Biology Lecture - my professor looks like Milton from office space and told us that out of the 130 of us, 15 of us are getting A's.
Biology Lab - 3 fucking hours long.
The college life is amazing. My only complaint is that my room is exactly 98 degrees right now and has been all night. I had to sleep on the futon practically naked last night and i still didnt' get an ounce of sleep. I think I'm going to kill someone, it's that effing hot.
I have a break today from 1-5 and you know what I'm going to do? A survey.
mmm. Jarritos.
I'm pumped for Labor Day weekend. Time for the Berkley Bunch (sadly minus mallory) to unite and conquor the world.

So all the hype of the last 13 years is finally here. I'm actually at college. I moved into my dorm yesterday, stacked my loft, unpacked all of my stuff, met my really awesome roomate who i think i'm really going to get along with, said goodbye to my parents, met some sweet people on my floor, and finally laid my head to rest on my bed. I've been waiting 10 weeks to have a bedroom again. 10 weeks to unpack my things and sleep in my own bed. 10 weeks of waiting, waiting, waiting, and it's here. The Grand Valley campus is the most gorgeous campus I have ever seen in my entire life and I feel so lucky to be here. I got my books and even though i'm a loser for saying this, i cannot wait to open them and consume their knowledge. However, I'm dissapointed with my biology book. It's the exact same book that i had to use for AP bio Junior year. GAH I don't want to read the same book again! Just thinking about all the hours that i have already spent with my nose stuck in that awful book just kills me. Oh well, atleast this class is only one semester. Then chemistry... gross. I'm interested to see how my music classes pan out. I wonder if they are going to be challenging or just a waste of time. I hate just sitting around waiting to find something to do. I want to go next door and meet more people but i'm actually really shy about it. Oh well...we have all year to get to know each other.
Today i'm going to get my scheduling conflict fixed, go to lunch with my roomate, and take my bike and attempt to get lost on campus. It should be a fun day.

thank god the weather is beautiful. Yesterday morning I laid out in the sun, in the afternoon i went rollerblading with beth and rachel barth stopped by and we played 2 square. In the evening i went shopping with natalie and i got some really sweet jewlery on sale at Express. CPK for dinner was amazing. Bread/Salad/Pizza/Lemonade and having it all to share with Natalie, it was probably the best meal i've had in a very, very long time.
So yesterday I was woken up by my dad in my face telling me to read and sign the following document:
Cell Phone Code of Conduct:
I understand that:
-The primary purpose of the cell phone is for Emergencies
-The second most important purpose of the cell phone is to communicate with parents when I am away from home.
When i am at home I will use the home phone
I will take care of my phone. If i lose the phone, all privileges will be revoked
I will limit my minute sto less than 400 per month.
I will use no more than 200 texts messages (sent and recieved) per month.
I will answer all calls from parents quickly
Signed,
_____________________ ____________
Name Date
How rediculous is that?!?! lol. i love my dad. and this means that i will FINALLY have a real cell phone that i can use whenever i want. It should come sometime this week. I hope. And I hope that i can't get unlimited text messaging because i will go through 200 so quickly with how much the scenics kids text me.
OK, now it's time to go outside, go for a bike ride, and then come home and play with my new NINTENDO WII!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's that time...the very last stretch of my high school career. cha-ching! School does not matter to me right now. All I can think of is Interlochen and College. Over break I went up to Grand Valley and had my first cello lesson with their professor. He is such an amazing musician and teacher. I learned so much in just that one hour. But the best part was when I found out that he only accepted three cellists this year into the music program. And I was one of them. THREE. I feel like the luckiest girl in the world. When I got home yesterday there were two letters for me. One was from Michigan State so said that I was accepted into their school. Which i'm very happy about but i dont' care because i'm going to Grand Valley and the other letter was the most exciting one of all...
Dear Emily,
I am pleased to inform you that you have been awarded a Music Department Scholarship in the amount of $1000.00 for the 2007-2008 academic year. Please note that this is a renewable award, for up to four years.
$1000.00!!!! I'm so happy!!! They said that they rarely give out scholarships!!!!! And this is one that gives me $1000.00 every year for the next four years! My mother went through the roof! I guess I'm doing something right because nothing this good ever, ever happens to me.
Six. Weeks. 49. Days. And. Counting.

While i'm waiting for my mom to finish editing my really crappy PA paper, i'll update.
We had a Scenics show last weekend at Nick's piano recital. We played really well and all but we hadn't realized that it was also an oboe recital. We sat through atleast 13 oboe solos....Billy and I were dying during a few of them. But we stayed because there was food afterwards. Plus Nick (acutally nick's mom) got Julie and myself each a bouquet of roses. It was so sweet of them. They are currently in a vase on my dinning room table. I hope we get to play in battle of the bands. That would be so kick ass. Battle of the band is the day before the Contemporary Institute of Arts Festival. It would be a fantastic Scenics-filled weekend.
I'm hoping that this is going to be a good spring break. I'm not going anywhere but neither are most of my friends. Plus I have to babysit David tuesday, wednesday, and thursday next week while my parents are at work. It's good though because I need to spend some time with David before I graduate. I just feel so guilty about leaving him all summer and then all next year.
Schedule for the rest of the year:
-Spring Break
-New York Trip
-AP Tests
-Final OYO Concert
-Final BSO Concert
-Scenics Shows
-Senior Finals
-Seniors Awards Assembly
-Seniors Last Day
-PROM
-Graduation
-Freshman Orientation
-Grad Party
-INTERLOCHEN
The day before i get back from Interlochen in August my parents are leaving for California for TWO WEEKS. It's going to be crazy. Then when they come home, they will be back for three days and then I leave for GVSU. I can't believe how fast time is moving. And everyone already has their plans for prom and for some reason, most of them involve Groves girls. wtf? Oh well...according to Jack i'm taking Rozanski...i don't know how i feel about this. Whatever. I'm sure things will all work out.
Screw you Michigan weather....I want a WARM spring break...

This past week has been crazy. Infact, these past few weeks have been like that. No homework, lots of crazy weather changes, friends, lovers, leos, lack of Scenics, cello, cello, and more cello...
Last night i decided to drive to A2 to visit Noah. It was a wonderful night but it left me thinking about a lot of things. Then today i woke up to my mom yelling at me to get a haircut so i did and then it was off to orchestra festival. I was very thankful to have Julia with me because i needed to vent and i needed Julia to help straighten some things out for me. Orchestra festival was amazing. we went in there thinking that we were going to for sure get straight 2's but instead we walked out with Straight 1's. It was a terrific feeling and i cannot be more proud of my orchestra than i am today. We really stepped up our game and worked our asses off and it showed. I cannot wait for states. Jack is going to be so excited when he finds out he can go to his first state festvial.
After festival i rushed back home, changed, and headed to Rachel's birthday party which was so much fun. Our team won and i was stoked about it. I miss birthday parties.
Tomorrow is the big St. Patties day parade/brunch with the Pellerito fam. i'm very excited seeing as st. patties day is my favorite holiday. Time to crank out the green. I cannot wait to spend the day with Mia Sophia! I guess i should get some sleep, let my mind rest. I've been so stressed today it's time for a break.

I'm home! What an awful flight i had coming home... Delays Delays Delays...Terminal mixups, CANCELLED FLIGHTS?!?!, nope, not cancelled, evil Alma college UN students, turbulance, no water, exhaustion, baggage claim, hot chocolate, cold weather, snow, ice ice ice, iPod, hangover.
California was amazing and I miss it already. I need to go Ghost Ride the Whip. The weather here is shitty and I have so much homework to do. But what am i doing? talking to Noah. of course. damnit emmy, get on track.... Anyways, I went to UC Davis to visit my cousin Andrew. It was amazing! I "prepared for college" which may not have been a logical idea seeing as i had to drive back to Los Altos four hours later....but it was oh, so worth it. Andrew even left me some suvineers in my backpack. Meaning, some bottle caps.
School tomorrow...gross. We better have a Scenics rehearsal soon. I miss it.

Greetings from sunny California.
The weather here is beautiful and although my relitives claim that it is freezing, it's actually quite warm. My flight was hectic and long but all worth it. I love it here; my cousins, the weather, the beautiful back-drops, the food, the people, the air. It's all good. I've already tried many new foods which if you know me and know that I am the world pickiest and plainest eater, you would be impressed. IN-N-OUT burger is amazing!! I'm buying a t-shirt. Today i went to an antique store on the way back from the beach and i bought two kick ass necklaces. I love them and i cannot wait to show them off. This is going to be an amazing week. Time to go play video games and hit the town...
Highlights from the past week which i forgot to share:
-The TRI-M concert was fantastic and we are planning on having another one this year unless there are objections from the members
-Scenics rehearsals have come to a halt and we must change that.
-My Interlochen phone interview was today and it went very well. I am most definately going to be hired.
I like popping purple pills and yelling in Arabic btw.

The Berkley School District had officially gone crazy. Snow day? no way, Cold Days. Julia and i were stunned when we showed up for school today and saw the empty parking lot. That's what you get for having parents who don't watch or listen to the news. I now have three extra days to study for my calculus exam and an extra day to study for ap psych. The Tri-M to-do list is short but now I will have time tomorrow to get everything done. And i get to practice Julia's trio with her and Beth. Julia wrote the most kick ass peice and i'm stoked to perform it at the Tri-M concert next monday.
Solo and Ensomble rocked. I performed in three events and i got straight 1's on all of them. I'm so proud of my quintet for putting in the extra effort to practice, we kicked ass. And we'll be even better at states in march.
Scenics is still amazing, but I wish we would have another show soon. I miss performing! I talked to Mr. Lopiccalo about the education school at Grand Valley and I decided to double major. I'm going to be majoring in not only biology education but music education as well. I am very happy with this decision and I know that for me, it is the right one. Now I need to call GVSU Admissions and let them know so i can audition for their music school.
So many things to do....

Oakland Youth Orchestra and Homework just may be the the death of me. However, listening to the new Shins CD and the Scenics Live Album is really helping me move along.
"starry eyed suprise!" is what is yelled right at the beginning of our CD by some drunk person the audience. I love it.
Thank god for snow, how I love thee.
