20th Birthday Adventures

20 years.

That's such a freaking long time.

I mean, it's two decades.

And if you think about it, a LOT of stuff can happen in two decades.

And that's how long I've been alive.

Let me just give you a rundown of how my day went.

(pictures of the day will be up as soon as I get them :) )

• Woke up earlyish to a verrrrrrry decorated bathroom mirror (Thanks Kelsey!!)
• Barely made it on time to 745 Theory where I was sung to by the entire class and a very enthusiastic piano-playing Bro Hansen
• 9am String Practicum: started the day off right with a bunch of sugary donuts--all thanks to Naomi!!--before being sung to by a bunch of non-vocal majors (with invisible percussion accompaniment by Naomi)
• Violin playing test = fail.
• 10:15 Conducting: failing at conducting Beethoven 5. Failing harder at acting like a crazy person while conducting Beethoven 5, even when Bro Hansen bribed me with an A+.
• 11:30 Baroque Ensemble: best. class. ever.
• Bro Tueller being a total Baroque rockstar with is Baroque guitar
• Bro T: "I'm going to quit the cello, and be a rockstar!" (throws his arms in the air)
• Me: "Put your hands in the air!"
• Naomi: "Yzma! Put your hands in the air!"
• Bro T: "I love that movie!!"
• *three minute-long Emperor's New Groove quoting session*
• 12:45 Sight singing test in Mentor Group
• Fail.
• Only thing Steven could tell me: "Um...have a good weekend?"
• Procrastinating going to Capstones with eSpencer, Dan, Tim, and Mason. Always fun :)
• Walking to and from Capstones in the wind and rain, listening to Beethoven, Dvorak & Camila <3
• Matt and Dan. The Disney Electric Light Orchestra. Kid Kadets. Enough said.
• Turning pages for eSpencer in his pre-recital hearing (he ROCKED it)
•  "Practicing" (read: half practicing, half chatting with Naomi, Matt, Dan, and David)
• Coming home to an INCREDIBLY AWESOMELY decorated apartment! My roommates ROCK The totally awesome tent in our front room!
• They got my favorite food recipe from my mom, and MADE it!
•  

The birthday presents from my roommates!! :) They are so wonderful!

• We had a picnic on the floor, under the tent, complete with fruit snacks, S'more Brownies, and Jurassic Park II.
• Went back to the Snow to meet up with a few people to get ice cream
• Hung out at the Snow for an hour, messing around with Naomi, eSpencer, Chris, Dan, Jacquelyn, and Emily.
• Naomi riding Chris' longboard up and down the halls
• Dan jumping in front of her and making her wreck
• Me, Naomi, Kiara, Jacquelyn, Chris, and eSpencer squeezing into Naomi's car to go to G's Dairy
• Realizing G's Dairy was closed. :(
• As we drive out of the parking lot, this other car stops on its way in. The guy gave us the weirdest look!
• Rocking out to Aerosmith and perfecting our Steven Tyler screams on the way to Dairy Queen
• Laughing too long and too loud :)



Best. Picture. Ever.

I don't know who The Zonks are, why DQ loves them, or why that one guy is sitting so seductively (read: AWKWARDLY) on the truck, but I absolutely LOVE this picture.

• DQ Ice Cream and laughs
• Overhearing conversation at the table next to us: "I think I'll just have to go cut myself now..."
• Geeking out about music with some of my favorite people :)
• Hanging out outside the Snow
• The Penguin Game
• The crabs/seagulls from Finding Nemo "Mine, mine, mine!" "Hey, hey, hey ,hey!"
• QUACK! quack quack quack quack quack!
• "F you guys!.....Are you okay?"
• Naomi being...Naomi.
• Chris' laugh
• Mormon drunkenness
• Kitten in a Tree song

Sooo many awesome things. Lots of amazing people. Absolutely fantastic birthday.  :)
