thanksgiving break is coming!!

turkey is on the mind these days in syracuse! i am dying to get home and see my family and relax a little. this year i am going to the macy's day parade in new york city and going home. i am SO excited. i have never been but i love watching it on tv. this year my cousin is marching in it. every year i watch the people standing there shivering their butts off and think "look at those crazy people. thank god thats not me" and now it will be. so wish me luck!

in music news, which is what i am supposed to be talking about here haha, i am officially going to abroad to strasbourg france next semester! i am extremely excited. everyone who goes says "around november, you will just be itching to leave syracuse" and i never believed them, but now i do. i am googling pictures of the city all the time and fantasizing :) but getting all set to go has been stressful. i have to go to washington d.c. and get a visa and fill out 8,000 forms. but i know that when i am there it will be totally worth it! there are 7 of us going and i feel like that is a perfect group. they are all people that i know pretty well here, but aren't my super close friends so i am really eager to bond with them. woo! ill keep you posted on more strasbourg news!

isn't it the most picturesque french city?!

also, tonight i am going with the Oratorio Society to a dress rehearsal with the Syracuse Symphony Orchestra! i was in the choir last year so i have performed with them before, but singing with them never loses its luster! it is so thrilling being up on stage with a full orchestra in front of a full audience. and the conductor Daniel Hege is extremely talented, along with being a certified dream boat :) i am very excited!

this is him. yummm:

finally, this is very random, but my house is going to be on MTV Teen Cribs tonight. my sister and i filmed it in october and it is basically just us walking around showing the camera crew around our house. but it should be interesting. i am extremely nervous to see what i actually said when they taped me. i am just crossing my fingers that i don't sound like an idiot. eee! if any of you want to see it, go to the Teen Cribs website and the video should be up there soon. :)

that's all for now! i am off to my dress rehearsal with maestro hege! :)
