"The Call"

Can you spot me? I'm there!
I know I've been a little internet absent lately- but I have a good reason! This past weekend I was a part of two Veteran's Day Concerts, which premiered the song "The Call" from Grammy-nominated composer Dave Metzger. Seriously so amazing.
The song was commissioned by the Willamette Master Chorus and they asked us to join them in their concerts. Veteran's day is kind of a big deal where I'm from. 
Dave Metzger wrote the score for Kung Fu Panda and the Broadway version of The Lion King. Oh and you know the music that plays with the Walt Disney logo before every Disney movie- he arranged the newest version of that too. He's the closest to famous that I've ever-encountered, and I got to talk to him. The whole thing was a really cool experience.
But that's over now! So hopefully I'll be on here more often before I have to leave for Thanksgiving! I miss all my lovely bloggers!
The song starts a few minutes into the song by the way. I love my parents dearly, but they just don't get technology. 

November Playlist

Today seems like a good day to post my November playlist. At about 6pm I'll be on my way to a giant choral/orchestra rehearsal for a Veteran's Day Song, The Call, composed by Dave Metzger, he's a Grammy winner guys (Lion King on Broadway music...) and he's from Salem, Oregon. I'll have to share more about that experience after it happens, for now enjoy my November music! Christmas music is right around the corner....

Okay... I've already started to listen to it. :)

Outfit: Saving & Plaid

So here's the story. Want a really good jacket for way cheap? Buy them in the spring. Makes sense right? I got this jacket last year for about $17 and it's a $70 coat. I'm still short, I'm warm and I didn't break the bank. Score.

Same thing for jeans. I love the way Miss Me's and all those look, but they are just way to expensive for me to justify spending. So, I got these from Ross. Like $12 and I'm not ashamed to admit it.

Can I just express how excited I am that it's Friday? I am so excited. Even though I had Monday off of school, this week just seemed to drag on. It was just mentally, physically and emotionally exhausting. You know those moments when you're completely unprepared to hear something? That was last night for me. 

But! All is well. Tonight I'm making curry and watching my loves: Chuck and Grimm. It's what having no social life is all about.

Happy Late Halloween

Halloween was spent carving my pumpkin that I designed myself (it's Eevee) and handing out candy with my best friend and mom. Oh and eating, lots of eating.

My favorite from the trick-or-treaters was a little boy who giggled, then asked me, "Are you being a vampire?" then pointed at and asked my best friend "What's your name?" and just stood there. His mom ran up and said "You don't have to ask everyone what their name is!"

Little kids are amazing.
