I'm confused.

Ten? Oh-Ten? Twenty-ten?

You forgot Two Thousand Ten for those who like to say it in it's long form. I'm not sure what I'm going to call it yet. I'm leaning toward Twenty-Ten which to me sounds like a weird scifi movie.

I've been saying the above form.. but I'm sure I will switch between that and "twenty-ten"

by sjbgurl at 01/02/10 10:18AM
For some reason I don't like "twenty-ten" as well as "two-thousand and ten," even though it's shorter. Maybe I just like doing things the long way. lol. not always.

It was nice to see you again at FC in November after such a long time. I'll probably be coming this fall. Will you still be there then?

by seashelll at 01/02/10 12:45PM
Twenty-Ten. Easier!

by brownblackeyes at 01/02/10 2:35PM

by humankumquat at 01/02/10 3:33PM

by humankumquat at 01/02/10 3:33PM
I've been saying 2K-Ten.

Addendum: I also rise up and call my parents blessed for also giving me summer employment, and the highlight of my year was my brother coming to spend a glorious week at our home.

at 06/19/09 11:13PM

Now, get off my back.

I like you, Lauren.

Is the horse in the picture yours or someone else's?

by seashelll at 07/29/09 11:17AM
Well, it's pretty. I like horses. :)

by seashelll at 08/01/09 3:43PM
Why are you so cute?

As if you are ever going to get this. Maybe in another 3 months!

Find my brother and meet him please! His name is Dallas Cloud. He's a big nerd and needs friends! :)
Kidding. He is pretty social and knows more people than I did when I went down there. I think I just knew a few!
He grew up going to camp so he had a head start!

Hope your year goes great!
I KNOW you are so happy that Vicki has been around and WILL BE!!!!!! I am jealous!

AAAH! I lost my gold.

at 01/06/09 8:11PM

*sigh* Oh well.

Update on Lauren's life: Everyone today has been asking how my break was, and I keep using the same word: WONDERFUL! It really was. I got to go visit Matt and Katie in Pittsburgh for several days, celebrate Christmas there, and meet the church, which was so good. For New Years, we had a singing at our house with several teens/college kids from the area, as well as several families from church, and it was one of the best weekends I've had in a long time. There was (of course) bluegrass, and those who wanted to stayed the night and we went hiking at the Narrows of the Harpeth state park the next day. The weather was perfect, the people were wonderful, the scenery was beautiful...it was a fantastic day.

And now I'm back at FC! And it's already shaping up to be a FANTASTIC semester. Busy, but I'm happy when I'm busy. I'm going to be involved in quite a bit this semester. Piano lessons/ensemble will take up quite a bit of time, as well as yearbook, Freshman Class officer things like planning the sophomore cruise, etc. I also just found out that Kathryn (my roommate) and I will most likely be the stage managers-in-training for the spring musical, and I'm extremely excited about that. I wanted very much to be involved, and this will be perfect! We'll also be working very hard in chorus to get ready for tour on spring break, so that will be a lot of time too.

But, I know I will love it. :)

Although I normally think that New Years' resolutions put too much pressure on me and if I mess up I can't try again until the next year, both the new year and new semester are making me want to improve. Over break I had a lot of time to think about it, and I also had the opportunity to hear a wonderful sermon from Gary Henry about the advantages of daily bible reading, whether or not you get it done in one year, and that is something I've very much been slacking in. I'm trying to read every day, and hopefully get it read this year. Keep me on track! I can use your support. My roommate and I are also trying to make time every night to read Diligently Seeking God and pray, and I can already tell that will help a great deal.

For those who are interested, here's my schedule:

Monday, Wednesday, Friday:
11:00--Intro to Music Lit (Payne)
12:00--New Testament History and Geography (Peeler)
1:00--Chorus (Bassett)
3:00--Western Civ: 1600-Present (Crispell)

Tuesday, Thursday:
8:15--Intro to Music Tech (Payne)
9:15--Piano lesson/ensemble practice (Mrs. Barlar)
12:00--New Testament History and Geography (Peeler)
1:00--Chorus (Bassett)
2:00--Marriage and Family (Dickey)
4:00--Yearbook

I'll have voice lessons too, but they aren't assigned yet.

If you can't already tell...yes, I am trying out the music program. Most of the classes will count for my AA requirements even if I don't end up doing the program, and I'm technically almost a sophomore already by credits, so I had some time to experiment. We'll see what I think. :)

Well, that's probably way more than you wanted to know, but I thought I'd put an update on here before my life got too hectic again. I love you all!

You forgot to add to that first long paragraph, *I got to spend lots of quality time with my wonderful Mom and Dad!* I'm sure it was just an oversight.

by harbermama at 01/06/09 11:35PM
You also forgot that you are VERY VERY SAD that you DIDN'T get to spend much time with your favorite aunt Nancy...

by mamap at 01/07/09 12:04AM
That was implied.

by lah90 at 01/07/09 12:09AM
You will probably study as much for Marriage and Family as for the rest of your classes combined. But that's a good thing.

by diminished_seventh at 01/07/09 9:26PM
the post sounded good to me. :) keep up the wonderful work!

by benb at 01/08/09 11:03PM
You must have a great roomate! Wish mine had been that good. (kidding-- you DO know it was Vicki, right!? ;) What will the Spring musical be?? You seem to be enjoying life so...just like you should! ;)

by tortilla at 01/16/09 10:59PM

by rachel_michelle at 02/01/09 10:35AM
In some ways I'm sad that I'm not at FC.

You're not making any sense. As I remember, you were all excited about going to school.
