"The boys and girls in the clique, the awful names that they stick..."

I just want to inform you that I'm going back to school September 3rd so I won't be posting as much as I do in the Summer. Ugh. I am seriously dreading school (hence the title). I also have to take the Kaplan test prep course for the SHSAT in October. *shudder*

I also want to introduce my new blog, the coming of genius. I didn't tell you all right away because I had to be sure that I was actually going to use it. So enjoy and I will post when school starts again! Bye!

"...we are singing in the light of God..."

Hey what's up? I know you all care about me so much that you would die to know where I've been. You can't eat, you don't talk to your friends, you're distracted from your favorite activities and you lie awake at night wondering "When is Savy going to post on Blogger again? Has she forgotten all about us?" But fortunately, you don't have endure this much longer. Because here I am!

Well, if you have been lying awake wondering about me (if so I advice some real friends and a little therapy for you) I'll tell you that I've been in NY going to YPC vocal camp. Monday through Thursday all choristers from the Concert Chorus, Young Men and Cantare divisions of the YPC are told o attend "vocal camp" from 11am-4pm. So our schedule goes a little like this:

11:00am-11:20am- free time
11:30am-12:30pm- written music theory
12:30pm-1:30pm- dance
1:30pm-2:15pm- lunch
2:15pm-3:00pm- rehearsal
3:00pm-3:30pm- sight singing or voice lesson
3:30pm-4:00pm- tutti activity

Vocal camp has been really great this year. I'm really learning how to read music and sight sing which I find very helpful. Today we had a conducting class in place of music theory which was fun. Yesterday we had a voice lesson (which we're also having tomorrow) and I really learned a lot about breathing techniques. Don't laugh! Breathing is hard when you're breathing to sing; it's different than just consuming oxygen.

It was also really fun to see all my friends again, even though they're all moving up to Concert Chorus :(

7 days! Eeek! I go back to school in a WEEK. *shudders at the thought* And I don't even know my teacher! I know what room I'm in, but rumor has it that that teacher isn't working at the school anymore and apparently some James guy is taking his place. I hope I like him! I still have to write a response to the concerts I saw in Canada. Ugh. lol I am such a procrastinator!

See you all later!

Movie Update (like I think about anything else these days)

The Twilight saga has an official claim on my life. I finished the second book today (in 2 days! I'm getting quicker!) and it was amazing. I read through Stephenie Meyer's website and I love her so much! She's so funny and nice and I'm totally jealous of those who attended the prom for Eclipse! No fair! I decided to be Alice for Halloween next year. Why? Well, I was inspired by a great Alice look-alike at the prom. Unfortunately, I still have braces, but fortunately they'll be off by next years Halloween so I can use those clip on fangs :E

This year I was either thinking Gerard or Amy (Lee). But I am seriously getting ahead of myself! What I really came here to talk about was the Twilight movie. I watched the trailers and looked at the photo gallery and I have to say: all of the Cullens meet my expectations except Edward and Jasper. Alice, Emmet and Bella look exactly as I pictured them, it's amazing. Unfortunately, Edward does not. Though it's mildly disappointing (grrr.....) I hope he's a good actor, because that would make up for it.

I'm so excited! I'm so excited about finally being excited about something! Okay, I am going to stop obsessing and I will post when I have something more exciting to say. See ya!

P.S.

Don't you love my new backround?! MCR 4ever!

THEY'RE MAKING A MOVIE!!!

Woo Hoo! I'm so excited! Guess what I just found out! Okay, okay, wait. I'll start from the beginning.

So about 2 days ago I finished reading Twilight. I also found out the author was Mormon! Woot woot! They had a blood donation in honor of the fourth book at the BYU book store. Anyway, I'm on the second book now and I was looking through Entertainment magazine and.... They're making a movie! (I know probably every Twilight fan knows this, but it's exciting to me!) I'm so happy! I LOVE those books. I completely loose track of time when I'm reading them.

Oh but guess what more.... because the Harry Potter film is moved to 2009, Twilight has been moved to November 21st!

Okay, enough with the Twilight obsession, I have to do homework. Badly. Talk to you later!

"...from yesterday..."

Books I'm reading: Twilight by Stephenie Meyer; Beachglass by Wendy Blackburn
Movies I've watched: The Breakfast Club, The Woods, The Sixth Sense
Music I've been listening to: Phobia (album) by Breaking Benjamin; Angel by Sarah McLachlan; A Fever You Can't Sweat Out (album) by Panic! At The Disco; Lake Pontchartrain by Ludo; Angels On the Moon by Thriving Ivory; I Am A Man Of Constant Sorrow and Didn't Leave Nobody but the Baby from O Brother, Where Art Thou?
Poems I've Been Writing: Sweet Serenity; Reflection of the World
Things I should be doing right now: summary of Evernight; summary of my summer; reflection on the concerts I saw in Canada; typing up some of my poems

Hey everyone! Yesterday was a great day. I did my book cover for school on Evernight (now I just have to finish the summary) and I read Twilight while drinking tea and watching the rain. Then my dad came over and we ate dinner and watched The Breakfast Club and The Woods. The Breakfast Club is a movie about five high school kids who get stuck in detention together one day after school. They all come form different "groups" i.e. one girl is "emo", the other is popular and rich, one boy is a jock, one guy is a nerd and the last guy is a rebel who comes from a so called "white trash" family. They all have personal issues going on at home and they eventually all confide in each other. They all become friends in the end. I know the ending sounds cheesy but it's a surprisingly deep and meaningful movie that's really good.
The woods was just about this boarding school where the girls are disappearing and no one knows why. It was actually pretty cool, I liked how the coloring of the movie was dim and slightly vintage like you weren't sure if they were really there.

Unfortunately, I must do my school work now. Ugh. I'll write more tomorrow!

Sweet Serenity

Apple cinnamon spice.
Twilight.
Sweet heat melting my throat.
Claudia Gray's words melting my soul.
Silence.
Evening light.
The hum of the air conditioner is home
and the silence is fantasy.
The window is my only outlet
out of my surreal train of thought.
Rain.
Serenity.
They compliment each other,
both come hand in hand.
Alone in the dark with:
Apple cinnamon spice
Silence
Rain
Twilight
Evening light
Serenity.
