Back in the swing...

Hello to all! I'm officially moved into my new apartment in Cookeville, and I start school in a week! I can't believe that time has flown by so quickly this summer. I'm hoping for a good semester, but I've got a pretty full load of classes, so I know it's going to be difficult. It's just crazy to me that I'm a senior! Besides moving I've just been working a lot, hanging out with friends, and planning my next traveling adventure...a little closer to home this time, lol. My friend Brittney and I are headed to North Carolina in a couple of weeks to visit our buddy Elena that we met in Costa Rica. We decided to drive because it's amazingly still cheaper to drive than fly even with the high gas prices. It's about a 7-8 hour drive, and I'm excited because I love road trips! We're going to Raleigh, and I've never been there, so it should be pretty neat. I'll let you guys know how it goes.

Well, I know in my last post I was really excited about being able to play with the new band, Phlatt Earth...things have changed since then. Apparently they all got in a fight with each other after I left practice one night, and have decided to break up. I am truly tired of being in bands with people that can't get their act together. Are there any musicians out there that just want to play?! I'm tired of the drama. I honestly think that guy musicians are worse than girls sometimes. If you're a musician, you should be doing it because you love the music, not because you're on some ridiculous power trip. Grrr...anyway, I still have a gig on the 27th of September playing my original stuff, so that should be pretty cool. I guess I'll just keep on trucking and continue writing, but this not having a steady band thing is pretty disheartening.

I'm off to purchase a few more things for my new apartment. Hope all is well for everyone! Thanks for reading!

Pura vida,
Amelia
