ramblings of a wandering she-elf

Current Music: beautiful life~~~charlotte martin

Well, my brother and sister-in-law and my adorable little nephew left yesterday.

It was so nice to see them again, and this time Thorne was a little more comfortable with his surroundings, and he REALLYenjoyed himself!  He watched his daddy and uncle "Jophas", as he calls Joseph, shoot guns, and then he got to ride the four-wheeler with uncle Jophas, and he didn't not stop talking about it even when he left.  

I've gotta go to Jackson, for lessons, and then a dress rehearsal for that dratted concert I have to be in.  But inbetween time after my lesson and the rehearsal, we will probably go shopping.  *I can already see those bookstores*

Ooh, good news!  My cat had four tiny, beautiful kittens.  Two are jet-black, one is orange, and the other is grey.  I've yet to come up with names for them all, but it won't be too long.

Well, I have to rush off.  Love you all so much!!!

Current Music: the dangling conversation~~~simon&garfunkel

I haven't gotten any school done today.  We had to go into Jackson early this morning to the dentist, we came back and I had to immediately begin teaching.  I have a thirty minute break now, but then I will have more students coming.

It wouldn't have been so busy had I planned ahead a little, but me being me, I forgot about the dentist until last night.  Then had to get up really early, to leave early, to get back early, to get done teaching at a reasonable time. 

There is one good thing about it, this is the first week of the month, and I get paid by the month!  Woohoo!

Oh and some clothes we ordered from Lands End came in today.  I got some really cute denim gouchos, and two polo shirts!  I'm happy about that!

Life is good, just busy.

Current Music: i just want you to know who i am~~~goo goo dolls

*disclaimer*: This is about the college campus where the music camp was held.  It was one of many camps going on there at the time. This is nothing against the college if that's the way they want to run things.  Personally I would never wish to go there, but I don't want to talk bad about it, I just want your seperate opinions on it.   So tell me what you think.

~~Would you want to go to a college where you could only wear skirts or dresses PERIOD, and long shorts if you were doing some sport activity?

Would you want to go to a college where if you are female you are not allowed to have a job off campus?

Would you want to go to a college where if you are female you are not allowed to leave campus for, say a trip to walmart or just a drive somewhere, unless you are accompanied by two or more other girls?

Would you want to go to a college where you are not allowed to touch the opposite sex in any way?~~

Now after having said all that, I want you to understand that I don't want to go to college to rebel and live a life different from my home life.  It's not that I want to go around touching guys all the time, or want to dress immodestly for all the world to see.  I hope you don't think that about me.  But it seems to me when teenagers go to college, they should be expected to act rationally and adult-like.  I realize they don't all the time.  I know many examples to choose from.  But I think I would die in a place like that, because it was so restricting it almost made it hard to breathe.  And this is coming from shy, reserved Bonnie.  I know their motive is to protect young people, but it seems to me that when you restrict and and tell them all these things they CANNOT do under any circumstances, it makes them want to break the rules to see what its like.  I know so many cases just like that.  So anyway, I know it seems as if I'm still blowing off steam.  I'm sorry if it sounds offensive, its just some things going on in my mind, andI was wondering what y'all thought.    I hope you don't all think I'm a rebellious punk teenager now, itwas just really hard for me get used to those rules.  I don't think I could it for four years straight.  

So tell me what y'all think!  Love y'all so much!
