January : I was taking Monday vocal and piano lessons at OCCC. I was doing Chorus in my high school's production of Grease as well. I remember being disappointed that I didn't get a bigger part, because Grease is one of my favorite musicals, but I didn't let that stop me! I had a lot of fun with it! I was friends with a lot of people that I am not really friends with anymore and that is weird, and kind of sad to think about. But for that time in my life, they were very dear to me and I guess they still kind of are.
February : I was still taking lessons at OCCC. Although I was probably missing quite a few because I had play practice every week day from the time school got out until about eight or nine at night. We had our performances for Grease at the end of February though! Every Sunday this month I gave my next door neighbors guitar lessons. The girls were in fifth and second grade. That was a fun time too, and I also got paid about five bucks to do it!
March : This was a time of rest for me since I just got done with musical. During spring break I went to the Refuge with my youth group and we cleaned out an old church and picked up trash on the high way. I remember that it was freezing. That trip was really amazing though, God did some incredible things in our youth group. My best friend, Kayla's birthday was on the 25th too!
April : Kayla and I were in love with this gorgeous guy names Mason and went to see him in the Talent show, where he sang and melted our poor innocent hearts. I was in the Shakespeare Festival at my school, where I played Juliet in "The Complete Works of William Shakespeare Abridged". That was a lot of fun, but I had to kiss this kid Kevin(who played Romeo) and that wasn't as fun. xP I was in Federation again, and made superiors, but I didn't go to state for anything. I was okay with that though, state is REALLLYYY boring! ha!
May : I went to state in piano for OMTA!! That was a blast! I went to my school's Drama Banquet, and cried like a baby. It was so sad to see so many of my friends that were seniors leave.
June : This was a big month! I got my permit! I also went to St. Louis with my dad and auditioned for American Idol! That is something I had wanted to do my whole life! I also auditioned for AMTC and got through!
July : I was in Colorado for two weeks of July, where I rock climbed(On real mountains!) and repelled! I got to visit my aunt and just relax after that! I tried Yak for the first time (and liked it!!)
August : I went to Indiana for a few days with my dad and sister to visit my grandparents and aunts on my dad's side. It was a good trip, but kind of sad. That is probably the last time I will see my grandparents, because they are getting so old and frail. Oh and school started!
September : I started my intense training with AMTC. I was terrified before I went, but when I got there...everything was perfect. (Except...I fell off the stage! Ha! In a dress! With my guitar!!! How ridiculous!)
October : I got the lead role in my schools production of Steel Magnolias! That was so incredible!!! I spent Halloween with Zac, trick or treating and skipping through the streets.
November : Opening night was on my birthday! That was so much fun! That entire show was just a blast! I also had a little birthday party the week after. We all got in the hot tub and just had fun!
December : I spent much of December preparing for SHINE. Along with trying not to fail Chemistry.
I also wrote four songs that I am super proud of sometime though that year. I have a few others that aren't quite finished yet though.
