if....then

Let's play a little game of mine called if....then:

IF I find a grant to fund the director position next year for the community music school.....THEN I might actually be paid for what I'm already doing.

IF I finally get my transcript corrected from UC.....THEN I might actually get a scholarship to one of the four schools that I have applied to for the fall.

IF I even get accepted to any of the schools that I have applied to.....THEN I will either be living in one of four major cities: Chicago, New York, Boston, or Miami.

IF I sit on my hands for much longer without knowing where I am going.....THEN I might just loose it altogether and bum around for a little while.

IF I become a bum....THEN I think I would like to live somewhere warm and welcoming like San Fransisco.

IF I don't loose it and become a bum, or go to school, or find a grant to fund my current position....THEN I may just find some dead end job somewhere and waste away (or spend my days blogging).

What to do next? I have no idea! I need some ice cream.....FAST!

celebrity phone calls?

Alright, a little side story for your reading enjoyment. While chilling with some of my friends at work the other day Richard (my supervisor) recieves a phone call from a friend. This is not any friend but GARTH BROOKS! Garth just called Richard back about a proposal to help support our soon to be homeless church. Who knows, maybe he'll put out a million or so to help us by a building. The crazy part is that later that night our friend on American Idol, Nadia Turner had her buddy Bo Bice call my co-worker Ali (who has a big crush on Bo) and they have a brief conversation.
I would like to know what is up with all the celebrity and psuedo-celebrity phone calls going on at my office. But mostly I would like to know why no one famous is calling me? The only person that called me while at work was my mom! It's official...I am not cool. Oh well.

my life version 24.8

Alrighty folks. I know that you have all been glued to your computer screens in anticipation of my next post....so I would hate to let you down and post something utterly lame and barely worth the time that it took you to read it, but what can I say...my life is not that interesting.
So, here is a list of things going on in my life right now, I'll fill in the details later (maybe).

1. I am still living in Miami for a year of missionary service which ends in August.
2. The music school that I direct is full (40 students total) and it keeps me busy. I'm even teaching a clarinet student! I knew that those ten years in band weren't completely useless. Thanks Mr. Riddle!
3. The church that I go to (The Lighthouse) needs to find another building to move into in less than three months! Our contract with the United Methodist Church runs out then and we don't really know what is going to happen to us next. Please pray for wisdom for all the leaders.
4. My roomates and I am going to camp this weekend with 150 city kids from all over Miami. Pray for us and for the camp as a whole. It's called Oasis.
5. I need to raise about $1000 in support to cover my expenses for the rest of the year. This is still the remainder from my fundraising that I started almost a year ago.
6. My applications are in for UIC (University of Illinois-Chicago), BU (Boston University), and NYU (New York University) are all in and I haven't heard a word from any of them.
7. I am also applying to Barry University (in Miami), but haven't finished that application.
8. At camp this weekend I am teaching a class to middle and high school girls about sex in the Bible....that should be interesting!
9. My parents came to visit last week and I am still recovering from being Miss Tour Guide Miami 2005. We did a lot of fun stuff, but I was very tired by the time they left.
10. I have no idea where I will be, what I will be doing, or how I will provide for myself in about 5 months! But I'm kind of used to life like this. I'll let you know when any decisions are made.
11. I finally got my car window fixed from about two months ago when someone broke into my car and stole my radio and all my CD's. Now all I need is a new radio and CD's to play in it!!
12. There is currently an elementary school field day taking place in my backyard as I type. Miami is crazy!

That's about all that I can think of right now. I hope that you enjoy!
