More Funny Pictures

It's been so long since I've had a post like this. Here are some pictures that I took last weekend.

I went home and took some time to go shopping with my mom and my brother's fiance, Sue last weekend. We went to the quilted bear and saw a picture that my mom fell in love with. I picked it up and was carrying it around the store while we were still shopping. My mom said to me, "Kym, look on the back of the picture." I just had to take a picture right then of what she was talking about and here it is...
If you didn't notice, it's the three little words at the top of the label. Did they really have to make sure people knew this? I mean--DUH!

So then we went to dinner and I needed to stop at Walgreens on our way home. They had a rack of little baby t-shirts and this one caught my eye.

I just thought it was a tad inappropriate for a little one.

T-O-R-T-U-R-E

So I'm not in love with my theater class that I am taking. It is just a 1010 class so, although it is easy, its very tedious and annoying. Not to mention all the freshman in the class that are driving me nuts. Anyway, this week we finally got to musicals! I thought my teacher was going to just ignore the subject. But she didn't! She actually invited a student who does nothing but study musicals to come and talk about the history behind Broadway and the shows that have appeared there over the years.

If it wasn't obvious by my post title...it was complete TORTURE! I want to go to New York so bad!!!!!! So sitting there listening to the lecture and watching all of the clips from shows was horrible. We talked about shows like Show Boat, Oklahoma, Carousel, Annie Get Your Gun, South Pacific, The King and I, Damn Yankees, Chicago, Cabaret, My Fair Lady, Camelot, West Side Story, The Music Man, Hair, Chorus Line, Gypsy, Company, A Funny Thing Happened on the way to the Forum, Sweeney Todd, Into the Woods, Cats, Phantom, Les Mis, Rent, Spring Awakening, Wicked, Next to Normal....I could go on but you get the point.

Most of the clips we saw were from revivals but there were quite a few with the original cast. It was awesome! The best two days in that class by far. But it just makes me that much more depressed that I still have never been to New York so I decided to set a goal. I will make it to New York and see at least 2 shows on Broadway in the next two years! Anyone want to join me?

Hello Hello!

Last night was awesome! I absolutely love this show and it has been on hiatus for the past 4 months! That's such a long time...especially considering it's not even summer! Anyway so Whitney, Gwen, Karinne, Sara, Erin and I had a little Glee party last night to celebrate this momentous occasion.
PURE HAPPINESS!

I keep thinking times will never change--Keep on thinking things will always be the same

There is so many things in my life that are about to change and I am growing a little anxious about it all. I have been going to school every year of my life since I was 3 years old. That is 19 years. I have always know what I will be doing at the end of each school year. However now that I am graduating in a month, I'm a little nervous about growing up and venturing out into the real world. I don't know what to expect that that is a little scary.

I remember when I was in high school and during my junior year I couldn't wait to graduate and get out of there. But when my senior year was coming to a close I started to feel the way I am now. I wanted the last month or so to pass by as slowly as possible, I guess because I didn't really know what I was headed for. There were also many significant events that happened during the summer between high school and college that completely changed my life. Most of them I wish hadn't happened and things could just go back to the way they were before. Now, since I am about to come upon a similar time in my life, I am just afraid that my life is going to change so drastically again. I know it sounds a little silly but that is how I feel.

So don't get me wrong, I am extremely excited to graduate from college. I never really thought my high school graduation was anything special. I didn't have pictures taken or stay out all night with my friends like the others did. As soon as I got my diploma I left the ceremony. Looking back now there are definitely things that I would have done differently. But now that I am getting a degree after 4 years and all of that money (thanks mom and dad lol) I really feel a sense of accomplishment. I didn't have to go to college and now that I am finished I can see how special that is and I will be taking full advantage of my graduation day. I have also decided to stop stressing about getting a job. I'm going to look at it as an adventure because I know that no matter what, I always have people around that will be there for me!
