Life in Chautauqua is just peachy. There were several highlights this week that I want to share with you, my dear readers.
-Tony found a piece of glass in his chicken at lunch. I knew I was right about not eating the meat here.
-I got a new computer this week! And it's green! Thanks, dad! But. Let us all have a moment of silence for my tank of a computer. We spent 5 turbulent years together.
-We came out of orchestra rehearsal yesterday at noon and it was pouring rain, no one had umbrellas, and we had to make it back to the dorms. Picture in your mind 60 orchestra kids running with their instruments (in their cases, of course). It was hilarious. I took off my shoes and sprinted like a crazy person. Another time that I feel thankful to be a flute player, as I whizzed past the cellists and bassoonists. I felt so awesome. A bunch of the cello girls were like, "Go Annie!" I am such a rock star.
-I got a package from my mom with awesome stuff like washcloths, a beach towel, a swimsuit and goggles, granola bars, a key ring, cards, and flip flops. I never felt so happy.
-I walk past this sign every day. It is at the bottom of the stairs in my dorm. Sorry, you probably can't see the smaller print, but one of my favorite recognition points is definitely protruding wires or tinfoils. Who knew? These people are geniuses.
-Today at church this girl walks up to me and says, with no introduction or hello, "Madonna has a dress just like that!" I responded, "Oh, really?"And she says, "Yeah! I saw pictures and you look just like her!" The poor thing... she wasn't quite all there mentally, but she sure does know how to carry on an interesting conversation! Definitely the first time I have ever been compared to Madonna. Probably the last. And don't worry.... I wasn't wearing some scandal of a dress. Okay, yes I was.
-The 2nd movement of the Beethoven Flute, Bassoon, and Piano Trio is possibly the most beautiful thing I have ever heard. I didn't even know it existed.
-We went out for ice cream at the local refectory last night because it was Cari Sue's bday and it was SO good. I love everything peanut butter, just so everyone knows. It is one of my favorite foods.
Non-highlights:
-My face hurts. I've had to not answer a few phone calls tonight because I just can't talk anymore! Actually no, I just hate you all and don't want to talk to you. Ha! Just kidding.
-I am still having 24 withdrawals.
-I heard the Berg Violin Concerto at the CSO concert. Bleh. Barf in my own mouth. Not enjoyable at all.
-All housing options fell through. If you know of someone in Boston who needs a roommate....
-There was no granola this morning for breakfast. If only those cafeteria people knew how this ruins my life. Luckily, there were Cheerios. My favorite cereal. And there are still blueberries galore so how can I complain?
Things I'm looking forward to about this week:
-HARRY POTTER! Emlyn and I are definitely going and I can't wait.
-Judy invited Emlyn and I over for dinner on Wednesday. Yay for home-cooked meals!
-A break from the piccolo after tomorrow.
-I'm starting a new book.
-I have a lesson tomorrow. That's exciting I guess.
Obviously my life is pretty exciting. Hope you all enjoyed that.

Hey Annie! I'm so sorry about the roommate situation! That really bites. I'll ask around for some LDS people...you may have to do what Dr. Clayton did in New York and find a nice little family to move in with. That could be fun, I guess.
Thanks for posting! Hope all is well.
Annie,
Seriously your dad has got to be the ccolest dude on the planet.
