Totally scored at D.I. and just wanted to share!!!!

Ok, so I went to D.I. yesterday and had the BEST time!!!! I found a knee length Calvin Klein denim skirt and a mid-calf length Tommy Hilfiger denim skirt, brand new, high heeled, knee high black leather boots and (the thing I actually went in to get) a Lands End back pack!!! The skirts looked almost new and the shoes weren't worn at all...I totally scored (and now have something to wear to my date on Saturday!!!) I wore my boots today even tho my feet hurt from wearing heels and being on my feet all day yesterday, but they're so fun!!! I just wanted to share my second-hand store excitement!!! Hope everything is absolutely wonderful and amazing for everyone!!!

Busy is much more fun than the alternative!!!!!

Busy day today!!! I got one of my tests back today...A-, not too bad (especially considering that I only missed 1 and most of the class got B's and C's) I also realized that I have a Master Class performance tomorrow and don't have a song ready...So after I'm done at school I have to go home, do the dishes (they haven't been done for a while and I'm generally the only one who does them cuz I like having an empty kitchen sink), clean my room (I couldn't find my keys this morning so I tore it apart...they were in yesterday's jeans), find and practice a song to performance level, go to the Draper temple open house, go to work, and finish my homework....and probably in that order...I'm excited for today and have been for a few weeks....and I'm way happy to have a long shift as opposed to the shorter ones I've been scheduled lately at work.
The weather's pretty nice...I've been tempting fate by not wearing a jacket to school or work...but I've found that it might not have been the greatest idea (I think I'm getting sick)...but really, who cares...the sun is out and I'm not freezing...I believe that's cause for celebration, so I do as the Utahans do...shorts and T-shirts in 45 degrees and above...but if I totally wanted to fit in I'd wear flip flops too, but I don't own any...so yeah...Amazing day! I'm way excited!!!

Rejection is just part of life....but why does it have to be a frequent part?!

So this week has been rather filled with rejection and trials! It's good tho, hard but good! I had a Spanish test (probably got a B or maybe a little lower :( that class is the hardest one for me!) I also had a Music Theory test and an opera diction IPA (International Pronunciation Alphabet) test (easy A's!!!)!!! I had those three tests and found out I didn't make it into the Institute night on Broadway talent show and I auditioned for a scholarship I won't get...I'm not being pessimistic, I just know I won't get it...don't try tho argue the point with me...I just know!!! It's been a hard week to stay happy and positive...well, some of the time!

I've had so many blessings this week!!! My scholarship money finally came in, I got a check for $50 from grandma for memorizing the Proclamation (which I am so so so so so so so so so SO grateful for!!!), $35 from my new voice student (I gave her her first lesson this morning...it's so good to have a student again!!!!), I got paid from work this week, I still have a clean room, and I've made a few new friends! So yeah, the devastation of not being as successful as I would like to be was only (as it always is) temporary! Plus if a few rejections make me quit, then what on earth am I doing majoring in music anyway?!

Oh, also I'm writing this book...a trilogy...I'm so excited (and I am going to prove to everyone who thinks I'm too distracted all the time to actually write a book that they're wrong!!!) well, I'm writing this book and I'm just about done with the outline for the first book (character development and interaction is so freaking hard!!!) but I have some friends that look kind of like some of the characters in my book...so when Spring comes around we're gonna (k, don't laugh) have a photo shoot sort of thing for my book....I know it might sound a little lame, but in between every chapter of my book is an issue of a comic and I need practice drawing people, and if I have references for how to draw people in action and the shadows that happen in different light it'll really help...I also want to have a reason to use my camera and practice photography! So I'm excited!!! K, yeah, that's all...I'm kind of odd, I know, but hey, the most successful people in the world are kinda weird too...so it's ok!!!

haha...Life

So today is Danny's birthday...He's SEVEN!!!! Wow, huh? I'm going to make him a superhero cape and send it to him soon...I really miss him!
So....I think I'm not very good at blogging...or writing...things just kind of don't seem to be working right now...and I don't quite know what to do about it. I miss my family like crazy..all the time!!! They're such good people and so much fun to be around. I guess I just need to figure things out...I don't know what those things are...but I'll try to figure them out soon!
School's been great!!! I love all my classes...I'm really loving (and getting completely lost) in my fourth semester Spanish class...maybe one day I'll be able to speak the language! Wouldn't it be so cool to live in a Spanish speaking country?! My cousin Rachel is spending a semester in Mexico city right now...I just think that is so so cool!
I was able to spend about 2 hrs hanging out with my roommates last night...it was nice! Like we were friends...it was a nice break from the way things generally are! hahahahaha
I'm probably going to give the guy's daughter (the guy I met at the airport) a piano/drawing lesson on Friday. I'm going to teach her on campus...it's a little less scary/stressful than anywhere else!
Well, I'm going to go find a movie to watch this afternoon! I hope everyone is doing great! Life is wonderful!

Inauguration day

So it's Inauguration day. Most people here at UVU seem to hardly notice or care. It's kind of funny to me, because when Election day rolled around everyone wanted to vote or prove something by not voting, but today no one bats an eyelash as our new president is officially put in office. I just find that a little interesting.
I'm actually kind of excited/interested to see what happens next for our country. Maybe it's because I'm, as some people tell me, naive or, as my parents (and some other people) say, not politically opinionated. I think it's because I try kinda hard to be optimistic. I think that if the president has our respect, even if he doesn't have all our same view points, we'll be ok!
So...even though I'm not the most political person in the world, I think that our new president will be kind of an adventure for the US! So...yay!
Gosh I'm lame, but that's how I feel and it's what I think. Even if I don't have the facts or reasons to back it up, my opinion is that right now seems to be a kind of important time for our country...Every time we get a new president is an important time, but right now it kind of feels like the world is watching us, waiting for us to succeed and support our leaders, or fail and politically bash on the new guy (like what happened a lot of the time with Bush). So, that's all...happy Inauguration day!!!

So, I love Christmas! My family loved their presents...and that guy from the airport got his! yay! He emailed me and asked me again if I'd like to give his daughter lessons...I would, of course, and that's what I told him. I really hope I get to...only problem is that I don't know HOW to teach drawing lessons. hahahahaha...guess I'll learn as I do it...after all that's how I learned to draw in the first place..hahahaha
So, I got lots of books this year! It was kind of awesome. I got this one that's just like a black and white movie! It's called "The Invention of Hugo Cabret" or something like that. It's about 500ish pages, most of them covered in illustration. There are a few pages of words, but the whole feel is an old movie...it's AMAZING!!! It's on black paper and everything!!! I read it today...oh my goodness!!! ANYONE who likes drawing or movies or history...it's AWESOME!!! Oh, also...this was pretty cool....hidden troughout the book in various increments was $100...that's pretty awesome huh?!
I also got the entire Work and the Glory series in hardcover...I've never read them..but pretty exciting stuff, huh?!
Mom gave me gloves and a hat that I've worn all day...I LOVE stuff like that!
I got coasters from Grandma..that was awesome!
I got "Sorry" from Danny...I love that game!!!
I got "the Office" 2009 quote calendar from Davis...it's hilarious!!!
I also got called a Twinkie today...hahahaha...by my mom....cuz I'm so happy and sweet all the time...apparently...Davis also called me a twinkie...but for a different reason! hahahahaha
I think that's everything...I think! I love Christmas!!!!!! We've had a pretty awesome day here at the McClellan house!!!

I'm Back!!!!! hahahahaha

So, yeah...school has been crazy busy!!! and my computer broke! yuck huh?! I have had awful luck with technology...and my own well being lately....I keep finding my technological stuff (and myself) totally broken! not so fun! hahahahaha So, yeah...hahahaha
I'm home now...it's pretty much freaking AWESOME!!!! I love it anyway! Davis and my dad have FINALLY seen Dr. Horrible...I know...it's about time, huh?! hahahaha well, they loved it just like I knew they would...and now Danny and Evan are always singing the songs...at least from part one...that's all they've really seen (but they're so excited that I brought the soundtrack home with me! hahahaha)
Christmas is the best isn't it! I love it! For Christmas I drew pictures of Superheroes for my family. (Dad: Iron Man and Captain America, Mom: Wonder Woman and Catwoman, Davis: Green Arrow, Evan: Green Lantern, Danny: Superman) They all know what they're getting, but that's ok. It's actually kind of amazing that I haven't shown them...I'm so bad with surprises...but they're really cool drawings!!! Like crazy cool!!!! They're at the bottom.
So, cool story kind of: I was working on these pictures in the airport on my way to Maine. I was trying to figure out how to do my Mom's and I had these pictures of Wonder Woman out for reference. So there was this guy sitting a few seats away and he saw the Wonder Woman pics. Weel, apparently his 8 year old daughter is totally obsessed with Wonder Woman. We got talking and, to make a long story short, he asked me to draw one for her. I totally agreed...it's not everyday I get asked to draw something (well, something that I will actually really enjoy drawing) So he lives in Salt Lake and I just sent him the drawing. I hope she likes it...I LOVE it....I would have loved to keep it!!! He also said he wants me to give his daughter drawing lessons...I don't know if that's gonna happen, but I would seriously love to do that!!!! He liked that I love comic books...and not manga-y stuff..but traditional, oldfashioned-y American comics...cool huh?!
So, I had a lot of concerts the last couple weeks of school...the Messiah, Temple Square...singing singing singing all the time...it was fun!!! Way fun!!! I also had recitals and juries and stuff...fun fun fun!! So yeah...that's what I've been up to! Fun stuff!!!

So, pretty much I have a test in Spanish in about 3 hours, but instead of studying I'm doing the other thing...yes yes...I'm totally procrastinating! Bad Manda...oh gosh!
Finals and juries are coming up. I have a bunch of performances both solo and choir. I'm pretty much just excited to go home for the holidays! I honestly can't wait to see my family!!! And I really can't wait for the semester to end! Well, I guess I'd better start studying again!

Date numero dos!!!

So, just got back from date number 2 w/ Chandler. We went to see Max Payne with Mike and their friend Cassy. (that spelling, knowing me, is probably wrong! oops!) That movie was weird!!! A little too gory for my tastes. Too much blood and too many guns!!! (I really hate guns!!!) But it was fun! After that we went and got Slurpees... what is it with those things...they don't even taste that great and they're soooo cold!!! The date was way fun! I like hanging out with Chandler and Mike! They're good guys who like Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog almost as much as I do! hahahaha...They always have the songs stuck in their heads, but they pretty much only like it cuz of Neil Patrick Harris. They don't even really know the people like Nathan Fillion, Marti Noxon, David Fury, etc., etc. or even Joss! I need to show them the light! Joss Whedon...well, he's pretty much one of my heroes!!! hahahaha..I'm a nerd and don't I know it!!! hahahahaha
Today's been good even though I have a pretty awful cold! It hasn't effected my voice, so all is well! I had a great voice lesson today and Spanish was way fun! We watched this movie, la dama del albas, I think. It's all about Death wanting to experience life. Pretty dramatic, intense movie. It was funny cuz it seemed so familiar. I didn't know how I knew what would happen next. Then I fell asleep (with the being sick and all) but I wasn't the only one....great movie and all, but it was originally a play, and it was kind of boring...a little. The story is awesome though! After the movie (I did wake up, thank goodness) we talked about it. During the conversation it hit me where I knew the story from. I had helped my mom with something having to do with that play for her Spanish 3050 class. It was cool, because after that realization I was able to have some pretty cool conversation about the movie with my teacher. Also I was the only one in the class who didn't have questions and knew the answers to the questions people did have! I love that class! Next Wednesday we are going to watch The Emperor's New Groove in Spanish. We were talking about Cuzco last time in class and were able to convince our teacher to let us watch it. He thought it'd be fun, so voila, Disney-ness! hahaha...I love that movie!
Well, since I'm still sick and all, I think I'll take some NyQuil and hit the hay. Big Institute breakfast party tomorrow morning. And guess what, Chandler's actually going to be in class! fun fun!!! Well, nightie night!
~Manda

OH OH OH!!!! Oh my goodness!!!! I almost forgot!!!! I cut my own hair today!!! And (get ready for it...) I...totally...love it!!!!!!! yay!!! So now I don't think I'll ever go and pay way too much for haircuts I never really like! I can do it myself!!! Woohoo!!!!!!!!! yeah, just had to let you know!!!!

President Uchtdorf speaks to UVU students...and I was there!!!

So, I just posted this on the Mickelsen Moments blog, but I really want to be able to find it again...I remembered a lot of stuff I wasn't able to put in my notes...so here we go!


"So, President Uchtdorf came and spoke to UVU today. I was pretty fortunate to be able to hear him. I was in the choir. They had the Chamber, Master Works, and Latter-Day Celebration choirs combine for this. It was really neat to hear what he had to say about and to the UVU students. I just want to share some o what I learned.
First of all he told us that President Monson and President Eyring, during their presidency meeting, asked President Uchtdorf to send his love from them when he spoke to the UVU students. I thought that was pretty amazing!!!
UVU has a pretty great aviation program. President Uchtdorf talked about that a couple times. First he said that (and all the singers loved this) if the aviation program must be pretty amazing if it's anywhere near as good as the choir! hahahahaha...we loved that!!! He also said that UVU has two great programs, aviation and Institute. He said that both programs are good because they can bring people closer to heaven! hahahaha...it was way funny!
He talked about how UVU is one of the most international schools out in the West. He told us that we are all at home somewhere, but by the same token, we are all foreigners somewhere else. He read trough the UVU mission statement a lot which says, "Utah Valley University is a teaching institution which provides opportunity, promotes student success, and
meets regional educational needs. UVU builds on a foundation of substantive scholarly and creative work to
foster engaged learning. The university prepares professionally competent people of integrity who, as lifelong
learners and leaders, serve as stewards of a globally interdependent community."
He told us that the things found in this school mission statement can help and are noticed by the church.
He mentioned the globalization of the world through business, online networks, speed of transportation, etc. He told us to take our personal morals and religion out with us wherever we are, whether it be at school, in our professional lives, everywhere.
He told us that we live in a world of integration and that this integration comes in the form of "www." or the world wide web. Globalization and understanding bring the world together. He told us that the further we go with globalization and understanding the closer we will be able to get to things like world peace and stuff. We are currently far from that right now though.
One of the reasons we are far from our international goals is the shift the world has had from respecting traditional morals to the idea of "situational ethics". He said that globalization makes everyone feel connected but no one really takes any responsibility.
There were a few things that he said that I just loved and was able to write down fully. As he was telling us about all the problems we have let globalization cause, he reassured us saying, "Today is the day for the best of our hopes, not the worst of our fears." I really like this quote because he was telling us about all these scary things that can happen if we're not careful, but when you go out into the world with your morals high and the Spirit to guide you, you can reach your goals. Just imagine what it would be like if all big corporations and politicians and stuff did that! Wow, huh?
It was really cool, he talked about how because of globalization, corporations etc. have character. That made me think about how the big, really successful things like that are the ones who are honest and moral. If the people in a business are trustworthy and good, the business will prosper. I also noticed how this sort of thing is seen throughout history and the scriptures! (Pride cycle ring a bell...I found it interesting.)
He talked about how our relations in this life will continue into the next. This kind of hit me hard. I'd always heard and known that, but in this context of business, globalization, online networking etc. it was so different! I was reminded of a conversation I had with grandpa about how the world has become extremely tech based. With all the instant messaging, facebook, texting, etc. it made me think how even our technologically based relationships will go with us into the next life. If you think about it like that, it makes what you say and do online mean a little more and makes you think before you do whatever it is you do online...I think it's pretty amazing.
He quoted the 11th and 13th articles of faith. With all the globalization we, especially as members of the church, need to remember to not only be kind and loving toward everyone, but also to be tolerant and respectful of their practices, especially religious practices (11th article of faith). We also need to remember to be guided by the all encompassing principles found in the 13th article of Faith.
He reminded us that our right to help decide the fate of our country is not only a right, but a responsibility as well. It is our responsibility to find out as much as we can about what we can vote for and then decide on what would be the best choice to vote on using the Spirit to guide us.
Culture, government, and religion are all very different and separate things. Our church is not an American church. No state, no country, no political party stands as a representative of God. We need to be guided by the Spirit of God, it is the only thing that has eternal truths.
He ended by reminding us that Christ is the perfect example of everything. Christ didn't just show us the way, he provided us the way.
One last quote that I loved: "Fear not to do good." As I wrote this I realized that we are being commanded to not fear to do good. That's pretty intense.
I'm so grateful I was able to be there! I am so glad that I decided to attend UVU. It reaches out to the community more than any school in the world (that's what they told us today). UVU's push to get people registered to vote and out voting is the second largest push in the nation...that's pretty cool! I love my school and I am so grateful that the First Presidency of the church loves my school too! I think it's so cool that we were able to hear what the Lord wants UVU students (specifically) to hear!
Well, after the whole thing was over and people were getting up and leaving President Uchtdorf stood up and turned to where the choir was sitting and gave us all a big two thumbs up...we were all happy about that! It was awesome!
So, that's my day today! I'm now going to take some daytime cold medicine and head off to work! I really love you guys so much!

I went on a date!!!!! yay!

I went on a date last night!!! It was amazing! I really don't think the word "wow" could hold a candle to how wow (and kind of strange) last night was.
First off, it was with Chandler. He is funny, charming, a gentleman, overall, he's pretty freaking amazing! hahahaha
Well, we got Slurpees. (k, what is it with those things...they're way too cold, and it's cold outside, but people really seem to like them...go figure!!) Then we went to Chandler's house and watched the Italian Job. At first, his friend Mike was there. Mike's way cool...hahaha. He started coming to mission prep because we were all given a challenge to invite at least two people to institute weekly and Chandler invited him. Mike was kind of a hoot, but then he had to go home. We also watched the movie with Chandler's little sister, Rachel. She's way cute! Her mom got a little peeved that she got to bed so late cuz she was watching the movie with us...I felt way bad about that. But Rachel is way adorable!
Well, then we went to IHOP. Wow, where do I even begin? We both ordered pancakes, naturally. We kind of got talking...about EVERYTHING! It was the most interesting conversation I have ever had!
Yeah, I know this description of my date might sound a little lame, but it was an absolutely bizzare first date. Yikes...but in a good way. hahahaha I love first dates! hahaha....holy cow, this is really vague...sorry!
Well, after IHOP we kind of drove around Orem, still talking. Since we couldn't really think of much else to do we decided to call it a night. So he took me home, he hugged me goodnight, I went into my apartment, and that was the end of the date.
So, yeah...I went on a date...a fun, kind of strange, first date with Chandler...It was kind of awesome! hahahaha

Choir is the best!!! (dancing comes in an overlappingly close second!)

I love Choir!!!! It is seriously the BEST thing in the entire world...just to let you know!
We had a choir Halloween party tonight. I was there early for set up and late of clean up. There were some kuh-ray-zee costumes! But the part was a blast. We had way too much food, costume contests, kazoo and slide-whistle composition contests (only among music majors would that happen...it was hilarious), and then (the best part) a few girls and I started dancing...then EVERYONE was dancing...dancing is also the best. It's almost as good as choir. Well, I don't have pics from the party yet, cuz I don't gots a camera...sad. But that's why we have facebook, right? I won't have all the pics I wish I had, but some are better than none, right?
So, I got total swag from this shindig. I got a plastic camera, two packets of hot cocoa powder, a slide-whistle, a kazoo, and a rose from the Phantom of the Opera. hahahaha...fun night! But I kind of have to say that the dancing was my total favorite!
Costumes! K, there were some stellar costumes at this party. One guy dressed as Nacho Libre, another as a black woman (he's black, so it totally worked). We had the Phantom, Cher, Madonna, someone from the 20s, 50s and 80s, an "it" (or a Who from Whosville), a girl in a polka dot dress, an actual gay guy and his best friend as Will and Grace, a Korean in Korean clothes, a pimp (aka Hugh Hefner, aka Ruben from Ocean's 11), Little Red (me), a few people in totally random costumes, yeah...fun night! Oh, it was so cute, this girl and her hubby both made tie-die orange shirts with jack-o-lanterns drawn on them...I swear, they are the cutest newlywed couple ever!
Well, when I have pics I'll post more info...but tonight was a blast...I'm exhausted...Oh, but before I forget...I need to remind myself about writing, at least in my personal journal, about the Same-Sex Marriage debate I went to, the guy I met because I sang in institute, Chandler saying he was sorry for the whole standing me up and us potentially going out on Saturday, singing in Master Class today, getting complimented on my dancing at the party tonight, shopping with Ruthie today, my Spanish test last night, the two papers I have to write, Ruthie and Spencer, and I think that might be it....I need to remind myself cuz I'm really way tired (from dancing...woohoo) and I NEED to go to sleep soon or I'll fall asleep on my comp. Well, "the sun has gone to bed and so much I...Goodbye, Goodbye....Goodbye!!!!!"

Wacky dreams....gotta love 'em!

So, my friend, Ethan, and I pretend we're spy/secret agents. He's Agent Timothy Pierce and I'm, Agent Evangeline Larkin. We mostly give each other missions having to do with learning some new piece of trivia or exploring and venturing into a new tv series the other person just loves. We even have a secret organization on facebook called Midpoint. It might sound a little lame, and granted, it probably is, but it's really a lot of fun!!! He's one of my best friends, I actually went to prom with him twice...hahaha. He's gonna leave on his mission soon, so this, I guess, is kind of a last hurrah for us!
Well, lately I've been having some pretty funky dreams, and there is one that I just thought was hilarious that I didn't want to forget. So, Ethan an I were spies in my dream. We had our names, clearance, files, guns, wires, etc...everything a spy has in the movies and on tv, we had it! So our mission was to get some computer files from this mafia type group in Japan...I think (dreams can be a little vague). Well, we were at a party. At first I was all American in a killer red cocktail dress and we were dancing, posing as a married couple (just like Bryce and Sarah in Chuck versus the Break-up), getting information and trying to find our enemies and stuff. Well, then all of the sudden we're in this hallway trying to break into the head mob guy's office and I'm all Japanese. I was still me, but I was in a kimono and had dark hair, brown eyes, no freckles, and was shorter, but I still looked like me. This kimono was pretty cool though...it was all gold and super fancy. So we broke into the office and hacked onto his computer. We got the files but then the door started to open. Ethan, or actually Agent Pierce, got next to the door with his gun ready. He was still all American in a 007-y tux...very Bond actually. I was more Sydney Bristow from Alias I guess, with the kimono...the cocktail dress was totally Sarah Walker from Chuck. Well, the dream gets vague again there, but we ended up killing most of the Japanese mafia group, all spy like and what not, and getting the files we needed. The dream was a total mix of James Bond, Alias, and Chuck the whole way through...it was so funny!
So there's my wacky dream adventure! Hahahaha...I think it's kinda sad that I dream in tv shows too.
Oh, this dream isn't as funny, but I told my mom today and it made her laugh. So I'm drawing each of the young women of the Damariscotta Branch for my mom. Well, it's been kind of hard cuz I'm not all that good using colors, I really like my pencil and charcoal, color is too messy. Well I had this weird dream where I was on the phone with my mom and she told me to just draw me for all of them. It seemed so real! I told her that I couldn't just draw me cuz I needed to draw the girls, but she insisted. When I told her again that I couldn't do that, she told me to just do the practice ones of myself. I told her that doing that would be a waste of time. I think I hurt my dream mom's feelings. Well, when I woke up I was really confused. I kept thinking the conversation over and over. It didn't take me too long to realize that it didn't make sense, but it actually wasn't until I was on the phone with my mom today (and I had the dream a couple of nights ago) that I was positive that we had never actually had that conversation. My dreams are so weird! hahahaha
Well, I sadly just finished watching BtVS season 1 again...I have no idea how many times I've seen that, but it's kind of the only show that I don't get distracted by cuz I already know it all and have most of it memorized. How sad! hahahaha
Well, I'm finally tired! Getting to sleep has been kind of hard for me during this break! I'm so glad I have school tomorrow!!! Good night!

So, they're in kind of reverse order....oh well!!
