The Fantastic Fthree

So, I have these two friends that are pretty much the best in the world: Angie and Nick. They are both music majors and so fun!!! If you are familiar with the Snow building, you might have noticed a particularly silly trio that seems to be inseparable (don't let that deceive you. Oh wait, we ARE inseparable. Never mind, let your impressions guide you). One would be a pale, platinum blonde girl with great big innocent eyes, another would be a red-headed boy prolly wearing a beanie, some kind of colored zip up jacket and vans, and the third would be me: A light-browned-short-haired girl with converse and a brown side bag. Were all around the same height (well, Nick is a bit taller but...yeah). We can be seen doing anything from singing "tender" hymns together to wall dancing, to drawing faces on our chins and other small amusing activities.

Anyway, the point I want to make is not that we are always together, but that they make my life amazing. I mentioned before that it's tough to be a music major. Angie and I are vocalists while Nick is a pianist. These guys always are there for me. We study together and we play together. When life gets hard to bear, they can always put a smile on my face. I can only hope I do the same for them.

I swear. Angie is the most positive person I have ever known. She is a ray of sunshine in my life (awwwwwww....) She is the one that cheers me up, she's the one that stays overnight, whom I tell secrets, who shares my bedroom, my toothbrush, and yes, my underwear when occasion finds her. (We really share EVERYTHING) And Nick...well he is just Nick. Hahaha. Just kiddin. Nick is just fun to be around. He has a funny sense of humor and a quirkiness that I find quite enjoyable. Nick helps me out when I'm stressed and he's always there when I need help. He's the one who asks the interesting questions, who gets excited about games-any kind, who freaks out when he drives (or plays mario lol), who has a curiosity for life that could get him in trouble (Nick, the wet seal bag? You know what you did.), and who I would prolly tell anything to.

These two are the bomb diggety, the light in my life, the ying to my yang...we are the fantastic fthree. Oh, and it had to be fthree cause Angie informed me that if I said fantastic, my next word had to start with an "F". So much for alliterations.

And thus, I go.

This is us in Seattle! :D An accurate representation.

One thing about me

Number one: I am a voice major at BYU-I. I love music and everything to do with it. I also love anything art-sy like painting, drawing, visiting museums, watching dance (ballet! I love it!) etc.

Music is my life and as a college kid pursuing it, I often have mixed feelings. It's easy to feel discouraged and be like, "man, what am I going to do once I graduate with a Bachelor of arts in singing?" and other times it makes me feel awesome cause people say, "wow, a music major huh. well that's really cool. what are you going to do with that?" And I usually tell them of my plans of working in a recording studio or teaching private lessons or even going to grad school to learn speech pathology. (although honestly, I have no clue!) {small sigh} It also well known throughout the campus that being a music major is THE HARDEST MAJOR.

This is indisputable truth. sometime Ill blog about why, but for now it's not important.

I feel pretty sure that the music department is where I am meant to be. At least, I am going to hope so since my roomates would probably kill me otherwise ( I pretty much sing ALL the time. In the shower, doing dishes, drying my hair..you name it. I even sing without realizing I am singing. Oh funny fact: I sing when I am scared as well. the first timeIi went rock climbing with REAL rocks, I was humming nervously everytime I got stuck.)

Well tootles. that's enough for now. Wouldn't want to squeak it all on the first blog!
