So, I have not updated in six years, my usual. So much has happened I could never tell it all, but I will do my best:

-I was in a relationship for a couple of months, but as usual, I like people that are really bad for me. So, we didn't last too long, but he is pretty darling, he just can't handle a relationship right now (I was his first girlfriend.) He didn't feel like he had the necessary time to devote to a relationship. So, once again, I am single, which is completely fine with me, however, it would be nice to find someone that is decent for me. Who am I kidding, I am way too special to find someone that would compliment me. And if I did find it, I would probably become highly disturbed.

-My landlord is a really big jerk! He tried to get us kicked out for the longest time (I think it was because we hurt his pride by not responding to his sexual advances.) Anywho, he finally succeeded, on my birthday, December 19, he gave us ten days to get out of our beautiful, two-story house. It was completely illogical and illegal but the rest of my four roommates decided to not fight him any longer and just get out. So, by no choice of my own, I moved my stuff out on Christmas Day and moved in with my mom.

-As you can imagine, living with my mom after being on my own for two and a half years was a big struggle! Not only did I live with her in a little house with my two sisters, but I had to share a room with her; separate beds, same room. So, no privacy!! And I felt bad coming in the room at 1:00 in the morning, but I don't really sleep before then. Well, last month we had a falling out and now I am staying with my brother and his five roommates. I sleep on a couch in their living room. It is quite an experience! So, I travel to school for forty minutes every morning, but I am only ten minutes from work, which is nice.

-School is okay. I got sick in November and stayed sick for an entire month only to be left with a peculiar lump in my throat. Singing and lumps in the throat do not go well together. So, I could not take my voice final/ jury. I am making it up in a couple of weeks from now though. So, I spent much of my Christmas break going to the ENT in order to diagnose this uncomfortable thing in my throat. I was told I needed a thyroid ultrasound. Hello, ultrasound and no health insurance do not mix well! Needless to say, it was necessary, so I had to have it. I spent $500 over Christmas finding out what was wrong with me and of course, I felt the need to consider the worse so that I was slightly prepared just in case. My stress level over Christmas was beyond unbelievable, it was most definitely off the charts. So, what did they find you ask. NOTHING! ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! It is good news and bad news, nothing was horribly wrong with me but I spent five hundred dollars finding out that I have an enlarged thyroid and nothing more.

-Life has calmed down a little though. My thyroid finally (last week) went back to normal for no apparent reason. I never found out what caused it or what caused it to go back down. I will be happy if that never happens again. Imagine constantly feeling like there is something stuck in the back of your throat and a need to swallow to get it down. That is what it felt like, all the time. But it is gone, yeah! I am considering my budget and whether I can afford to live by myself, and the answer is no! That is aggravating but I can live on my own in the summer when I can work more often and bring in more money. Meanwhile, I should probably get out of my brothers apartment, I feel bad living here as long as I have.

-I have been going to church at a little place in Montevallo, but the poor church has about fifteen members and is steadily decaying, so I don't know where I will start going now. Maybe I can go with my brother, I can't currently remember where that is. I have had some trouble lately remaining faithful. When so many things seem to be crashing down, it is hard to stay upbeat and positive and even more so, faithful. Pray for me please that I may seek His guidance in my life and know that he has a plan for me yet.

-Our concert choir recently got the opportunity to perform the Verdi Requiem with the Alabama Symphony Orchestra. Heavenly! I don't know how else to describe it, there is no greater beauty in this world. It is absolutely stunning! It has really helped to strengthen my love for music. If you ever have the opportunity to go see it, please do, it is simply blissful. By the way, a requiem is a mass for the dead, in this case, Jesus'. The words are beautiful, they are in Latin, but the translation is beautiful. Our last performance is tonight and I hope it is goes as well as last night, I was nearly brought to tears.

Well, that is pretty much it, I won't bore you with the rest. I hope everyone is doing wonderfully! I love you all and miss you more than I will ever be able to explain. Give me a call and say hi sometime.

Love,
Elizabeth

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!

Ok, now that I got that out of my system, how is everyone? I have been so busy lately, with work and school and everything else. I think I am finally going to get internet in this old house. This house is huge and only has one phone jack in the whole house. I mean this place is two stories and huge, and one phone jack. So I asked my pervert of a landlord if he would put some more in, since they are pretty much necessary and he said, "Well sure, you can. But I have special instructions for how it is done." In other words, we can pay for it. Oh well, he is selling the place and he has to continue our lease out. So, I will have a new landlord. Yeah!
If anyone shops at White House Black Market, you should totally come visit me in the Galleria. Retail is pretty fun, it is the only job that I have actually enjoyed. Well, I am sure I have bored everyone enough, besides I need to eat before my 2:00 class.

Au revoir,
Elizabeth

Hi Everyone,

My junior recital is April 17 @ 7:30 P.M. at the University of Montevallo.

Everyone needs to come!

I can give you directions if need be. Also, if anyone is coming from far away, I can provide a place for you to stay.

I know it is short notice, but I hope some people can make it.

Hey,
I am not dead!
Even as much as some of you would like that, I am not.
However, I do not have internet connectivity in my house yet, because we do not have a wireless router.
So let me know if anyone wants to sell theirs.
Meanwhile I am paying for internet that I use very rarely, because I have to use my roommate's laptop, which seldomely occurs.
I am sick right now.
It is the same stuff I have had about six times this year and three times this month.
Bluck!
School is, of course, extremely stessing and I am ready for it to be over with.
Granted, it never will be.
Even when I get out of undergrad. studies, I will probably continue in grad. studies.
And since the voice continues maturing well into your thirties, I will never get a job anyways.
I recently went to Indiana with my family for a wedding.
It was nice, especially seeing my grandparents.
And now that I have updated, I probably need to continue working on my five essays that were due today.
Anyone want to write them for me?
Just kidding.
Take care all,
Elizabeth Lovell

Hey,

I haven't updated in about a year so I thought I should say a little. I just completed my FAFSA finally, and I should receive some financial aid for school, so I am excited about that. I just hope they get all the information processed before fall term. I did it online so hopefully they will. I got a job a while back at a bbq restaurant in Montevallo called "Wildfire." I am a waitress, I am not getting a whole lot of tables, so I am not making a whole lot of money though. What tables I do get, I make decent tips, I am just not getting enough. EVERYONE go to "Wildfire." Come on, you know you want to.
Anyways,
I just finished Summer I, I took Health and Wellness and English 231. I was planning on taking a piano course in Summer II, but I just can't afford it right now.
OH, I just moved into (still in the process of) a house. It is lovely. Me and three roommate music majors are renting a house in Montevallo. Yeah, we are going to kill eachother, but whatever. We will at least like eachother going into the house. Well, I have nothing else to say and Nathanael (whatanastyskank) is calling me.

Bye guys,
Love ya,
Elizabeth
