A Letter From a Survivor.

This post was intended to be apart of McKenna's previous post, but because technology hates me it shall be separate. My fellow slave-ians, This has been a trying experience for us all. I have learned quite a few things with this process, and I shall list them here. 1. There is not enough time in the day. 2. Some people I have ZERO patience for. 3. Stage crew cannot be trusted. 4. If you don't do your homework, it doesn't affect your grade immensely. 5. No sleep is better than 2 hours of it. I could go on for days about things we learned, but nah. We laughed, we cried, we yelled at daft people who miss scene changes. I know not all of us enjoyed this experience, but you have to appreciate the beauty in the thing we did. This is the last year that you will be with me, and it is going by way too fast. I know you have to leave me, and even if you could stay I'm not sure I'd want you to. Don't take that the wrong way, but there is so much more for you two outside of Reno. And Brooke, I am so excited to enjoy the next two years of mezzo and ensemble and musicals. As glad as I am that you are running into life at full speed ahead, I can't help but be upset because HOW DARE YOU LEAVE ME. This post was meant to be light and funny, but look what you've turned it into dang it. I love you and hope you march through life triumphantly. I am so grateful for our little infiniti. Je t'amour mon petit chous! -Hannah

A Capella Academy Audition!

Hello fellow people of the universe! Just yesterday, as I was scrolling through my twitter feed (https://twitter.com/hannahbanana8980),I came upon a delightful discovery. I had stumbled upon a tweet reminding people to submit their auditions and applications for A Cappella Academy before February 1st. What is A Cappella Academy you ask? It is a nine day camp full of a cappella music and training in Los Angles. And get this, it's hosted by Pentatonix! I immediately researched it to find out about this said audition and application process. Turns out, it was simple! Or so I thought at the time. A simple video audition can't be that hard right? So, you have to pick two different songs that show off your voice. Then sing some scales, tell them why you want to be apart of the program, and whoi-la! You're done. At the time I had no idea that it would take 7 DIFFERENT TIMES TO SHOOT IT. It was a pain, to say the least. The lighting was wrong, I stuttered, my face looked weird. Finally I got the perfect shot. An hour of editing later, I uploaded it to YouTube. Then proceeded to freak out since I couldn't find it. Turns out, it can take up to two days for your video on YouTube to be searchable and watchable. I'm really excited to see what they think. They can only take 60 people, and I hope to be apart of it. Results come out March 1st. Wish me luck! Much love, Hannah http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fi5eUAEgS_Q Here is the link in case you wanted to watch it. :)

San Diego, breakable glass, and over dramatic parents

 

  Hello Kenna, Kristi, and people of the internet! I apologize I'm advance for this crazy long post, but a lot has been happening the past couple days.

  Yes my friends, that is a pregnant and sleepy koala bear. One of the many that I happened to see this weekend. Along with adorable Koalas, I got to experience the joy of seeing a baby giraffe and a baby oragatan! Talk about a cuteness overload. The San Diego Zoo was pretty dang amazing. The animals actually roamed and some came up to the glass, including this tiger who would not stop for a good photo. 

Sorry my finger is in the way. It is quite a nice finger. (: The pandas were pretty amazing, although I had a flashback to Disney when we had to wait 45 minutes to see them. The polar bears were fun, the giraffes adorable, the elephants were pretty dang cool. It's amazing how a creature can be so big. I saw the most beautiful jaguar, an amazing feat of nature.

   As it happens, tragedy struck just before we entered this magical kingdom of nature. My father, as some of you may know, is a micro-brew fanatic. Meaning he likes beer, a lot. He had purchased a "growler" ( a big glass jug of beer) the day before, and had placed it haphazardly in the back of our car. Just as we were exiting the vehicle, a glorious crack sounded from the growler. We opened the door, and a great waterfall of beer flowed from bowels of our car. It was pretty spectacular. Not.

   Anyways, a few statuses changed, I went swimming in flipping January, and sat in the car in only a way that a cheerleader could. Can I just say, parents are way over dramatic when it comes to relationships. Get over yourselves. And boys think women are confusing?? Holy crap they should take a look at themselves. That is a subject for another time. 

   

Tidy ho my good friends! I will talk to you I'm the very near future, that happens to be next Sunday.

Because I like to brag.

Hello from Anaheim!!!

Greetings from sunny California! I'm Hannah, and currently the only non ginger/red head in this group of friends. I'm blonde, a cheerleader, Disney fanatic, book worm, and football lover. I like to think I'm pretty good at hair, so you'll see quite a few tutorials in that regard. I'm really excited to be on this blog. So ya. I'll see y'all later, Disneyland awaits!
