Happy 4th of July! It's 2:00 in the morning and I really should be going to bed but...ehhh...better not.
So tomorrow I will be turning 17 years old. (the 5th of July, not the 4th). I find it so crazy how fast time flies by. I am going to be a senior in high school this year! It's absolutely crazy. I feel like yesterday I was getting ready to start freshman year and now senior year is coming up so fast. I keep forgetting that when I go to band camp this year, I'll have to serve ice cream (every year they make the seniors serve everyone ice cream at the parent preview) and I'll be one saying "wow this is my last band camp!). It's just...crazy. And thinking about college is even crazier.
Recently I went to Show Choir Camps of America and got a $10,000 scholarship to Milikin University while I was there. Holy crap, that's a LOT of money!! I feel so blessed to be given so many amazing opportunites.
I'm auditioning for "THE VOICE" on July 20th. It doesn't feel real considering last time I auditioned for a reality TV show, it didn't go down too well. Show business is crazy and sometimes a little unfair. I may not have the perfect looks or be America's sweetheart. You know what, all I want to do is perform- so whatever I have to do to make that happen as my career, is gonna happen.
I got new contacts today, and It's really crazy how well I can see everything. I'm still not used to it. I've worn contacts for 2 years now and every year my eyes get waaaay worse. My right eye got 3 steps worse and my left got 1. Okay, I know small-talk. I just thought I would let you know how my day went.
And also, to anyone who cares. Don't ever work at McDonald's if you can't stand rude people. Because some of the customers (especially the ones that come through drive-thru) are so incredibly rude. Everytime I am taking orders on headset I want to tear my hair out. It is not my fault if your order was bagged wrong, ma'am, I'm just taking the orders. When I say "Welcome back to mcdonalds, I'll be with you in just a moment," That doesn't mean keep talking and it ALSO doesn't mean wait 2 seconds and then say "Are you ready yet?" . Obviously I'm doing something, otherwise I wouldn't make you wait. And if I were you, I wouldn't be rude to the person MAKING YOUR FOOD. You never know what could happen to it.
Rant over.
On another note, it's the 4th of July!! I think this is definitely my favorite Holiday. Not just because it's the day before my birthday but I just love the feel of the fourth. The fireworks, the constant smell of smoke. The way the sky looks after it's all done, little ghosts of explosions in the night sky. The way everyone is happy together, just for a day. Everyone gets a long. Everyone is actually proud to be American. Or at least from what I've experienced. Everyone comes together today. We forget our differences and we just watch the fireworks and be together and celebrate freedom. I think it's a beautiful holiday. And it's exciting because it's the day before my birthday and I usually get to see fireworks on my birthday too:) It's just my favorite time of the year. July is my favorite month. It's always kind of busy. My birthday, colorguard and band camp, this year I've got All-State show choir AND "The Voice" Auditions on the 20th. I like being busy. I like feeling crazy and always thinking on my feet. It's my life. My crazy, crazy life. And that's the way I always want it to be.
I know the title of this blog has nothing to do with anything I have talked about. I usually just title it and then go from there. I figured I'd be inspired and go all deep on you, but I got nothing tonight. So the title has the word "firework" in it. Perfectly fitting for the fourth.
Well, my mom keeps nagging at me to do some dishes. So I better go do them now.
Until next time,
-Kiera
