WORK AT IT

I've decided that if I want to do something,

I have to put my mind at it and 

believe it or not

I have to work at it!

Some of the things I am talking about are:

Piano.

Blogging

Singing.

Preparing for Disney.

Being more outgoing.

Reading.

Piano.

I've been taking piano since I was six years old.

My first piano teacher moved a years later.  So just for a couple of years, I took from someone else. When I turned fourteen, I quit. But I kept playing for fun.  However, I lost some of my technique...

So, when I got to school for Music Education, and I was told that I had to take keyboarding classes or test out, I decided to test out, and I have to before I leave for DCP!!

So in the next month, I have to test out.

So this summer, I've been working hard.  I've been taking lessons from a family member, and I've been working on my skills.  It can be hard, but if I pass out, it will all be worth it!

Blogging.

Now I've been "blogging" for almost two years, but I haven't been keeping up at it like I want to.  So, here's my goal.  If I can blog at least one motivational quote each week, I'll will be happy.  I will put a quarter in a jar and when that jar is filled up, I will buy myself something nice. 

 Now for those of you reading this, you can help me! 

If you can share any of my posts you like and write comments and stuff, it will help me.  But don't feel pressured into doing it!

Singing.

So my focus in Music Ed is choral.  So I've been taking voice lessons, but this summer, I've been slacking....

So this week my grandma will be giving me a lesson (she's a fabulous teacher), and I'll try to at least warm my voice up and keep it healthy every day!

Preparing for Disney.

I'm scared.

Really scared, but I'm also really excited.

And because of this fear and excitement, I haven't really known what to do with myself and what to do to prepare.  I was late on the bandwagon for finding the Facebook groups and such, and I was late on the bandwagon for finding roommates.  But I'm getting on it. And daily, I am going on the pages and going on the Disney Careers website and finding out what I need to do.

Being more outgoing.

It's been hard for me.  To put myself out there and be outgoing and ask friends to hang out.  So, sometimes, I'm at home and I'm lonely and bored.  But I've been trying to contact my friends and hang out more and put myself out there.  And when I get to Disney, I'm hoping I won't be that scared and nervous anymore and that I'll just introduce myself and be outgoing.  We shall see!

Reading.

Lately (like the past couple years), I've been reading less and less and been on my computer watching Netflix and stuff more than reading.  But I've been trying to read more.  I've going to the library and getting more books and I have a lot.  I had to return the Yearbook and they didn't have another one available, so I picked up several other books and now I'm reading "Nobody's Princess" by Esther Friesner.   I'm almost done and it is really good!
It tells the story of Helen of Sparta who will become Helen of Troy.  I love Greek Mythology, and I'm loving this book a lot!  I'd recommend it!

I'm going to start Wonderful Wednesdays, where I will post a quote and talk about it and what it means to me!  So stay tuned!

I encourage you all to think about the things you want to become and think about the things you want to work!  I love you all and hope you have a magical day!

44 DAYS TO DCP!!!

LOVE,
