2004 17 July :: 10.59am
This has been the worst summer of my entire life.
I sure hope you all don't feel the same way.
Stanford (the barn) is closing. No joke. I have no idea where I'll want to ride. A girl who rides in my lesson might buy my second-favorite horse, Ivy. I guess this is good because I might get to ride her. I don't know about my favorite, Dante. Maybe I'll never get to ride him again. Cheryl and Sara, two instructors, are keeping 8-10 horses and might try to find some land to continue teaching, but this may or may not happen. I've been riding there once or twice a week for 7 years now. I don't know what I'll do without it.
Oh, and camp sucked. No one talked to me, and I was a total loser. Currently I feel like shit because apparently I'm not worth associating with or even looking at.
I hate Springdown. The horses there are beyond words, and they sold the only one I ever liked. There is no way I will ride there.
Oh, and this is definitely my last year at Camp Unique. I don't want to put myself through this ever again.
Leaving for Maui in like 3 hours. Hopefully this will be the first 2 weeks of my summer that are enjoyable.
Note: Sorry for the lack of anything upbeat in this journal entry. So far I have nothing happy to write about. Usually by the end of summer I can't wait for school to start. This year I'm already wishing for the first day of school.

Off to camp again...
Well I'm off to CU again. I'll be gone for 2 more weeks and then leaving for Maui the day I get back. This time I'm ACTUALLY going to diet...I bought a bikini this morning so let's hope I'll want to wear it in Maui!
Still won't have my cell phone with me, but maybe in Maui...
Hope your summers are going well! WRITE TO ME AT CAMP!!

In between sessions of camp...
I've been at camp for the past 2 weeks with Ali and Nicole. It's been okay...for some reason I started acting really antisocial after the first week. :0/
Nothing especially exciting happened. Drama sucked. Wanna know why? Well besides the fact that no one can act or read, MR. T WAS THE DRAMA TEACHER!!
No joke. Being the optimistic person that I usually am, I thought that it would be pretty neat. He had already picked out the plays that each class would do, so that was pretty neat.
Too bad he's MEAN!! He'd stand there yelling the kids, who were like 7-11 years old!! Might I remind you all that Camp Unique IS A SPORTS CAMP?!?! Nicole ended up dropping it, so I was all alone. I wish I'd gotten out with her. I didn't mind memorizing lines last year for The Lion King, but it was torture for our oh so boring play, "The Monsters are Due On Maple Street."
No hot guys. *tear* Didn't dance with anyone at the dance. I just didn't feel like dancing with 10 year olds...
It's still nice to be away from my parents, though. I'm looking forward to next session, but I think maybe I'll be okay if I do something with band next year...
Speaking of music, apparently there is a $20 concert choir dress fee that I never paid so I can't get my schedule. Hmmm...
And I'll end with a quote: (Nicole trying to get me to make noise when we were playing sardines at night) "I hate Mr. Shaull! I hate his methods and everything he does! He's too strict and only sings one kind of music!"
Funny stuff. I thought it was hilarious that she thought to do that. Sorry for the boring entry. Maybe later.

oooh i'm a unicorn!
 You are the most universal mythical beast ever. Sightings of the unicorn have been reported from all over the world, even in modern times. Unicorns are pure and incorruptible. In China, unicorns symbolized gentleness, good will, and wisdom. Christianity links the unicorn with Christ. It is said that unicorns would only allow virgin girls to see them, let alone touch them. They were easily lured into fatal ambushes by a virgin with some poachers waiting for the unicorn in nearby bushes. A unicorn's horn was a highly prized possession, which was reputed to have great healing capabilities. With the touch of its horn, a unicorn could bring back a person who had been dead for several hours. But when separated from the unicorn's body, the magic was significantly reduced. The unicorn had the body of a horse, a unique spiraling horn, and a lion's tail. They were pure white in color.
What mythical beast best represents you? Take the quiz!

So the bottom line would be...
SEND ME LETTERS!!!
I'm going to be at camp from June 20 to July 17!
PLEASE SEND ME LETTERS!
Here's the address:
Melissa Rose
Camp Unique
302 Portola Avenue
Portola Valley, CA 94028
(Okay, so I kinda just copied Ali's 'friend's only' entry but made it public. So yeah. Don't send us anthrax for posting the camp address on the internet!! Not that you couldn't find it on the camp WEBSITE anyway...)
But yeah! Candy, letters, presents, love, and anything else you'd like to send me (us) are welcome!
So since I didn't do the whole 'summer plans' thing in the entry below, I'll just do it now.
June 11-Got out of school!! Party at Molly's and then sang at graduation.
June 12-Went to see HP with Nicole and then to Alexandra's EOTYP movie night thing. (End of the year party)
June 13-Ditched summer sunday school ("exploring our faith through movies" featured film of the sunday: The Ten Commandments) and sang with the choir...some Rutter "Clap Your Hands" thing. Then youth group party which was lots of fun!
June 14-Went to Great America with Sarah and Ali! Fun stuff! Then slept over at Sarah's.
June 15-Woke up with icky puffy eyes (allergic reaction) and was driven home by Becky. Heard about Jeff's hot nerdy cousin (HECK YEAH!) but then was shot down when I asked Jeff himself about him. (Thanks...NOT! Haha oh well...) Horseback riding at 6 on Dante, jumped high, lots of fun!
June 16-Left at noon for Pleasenton, where I am now, with Dad. Learned to cook spaghetti with meat sauce, ate that, and went to see The Day After Tomorrow. Scary stuff. Cool movie.
June 17-Woke up, learned how to make bacon and cheese omelettes. YUM. Watched "What about Bob?" (finally saw the whole thing!) and began dough for rolls. Came up here and signed online for the first time since I arrived yesterday. *breathes* Almost had withdrawal there...
June 18-more cooking @ Dad's
June 19-more cooking @ Dad's
June 20-leave Dad's, finish packing (madly) and leave for Camp Unique!! WHOOO!!
June 20-July 17-Camp Unique!! First 2 weeks with Ali and Nicole, second 2 weeks with Ali. YAYYYYY!!! *SEND ME LETTERS!*
July 17-get on a plane and leave for Maui!!
July 17-two weeks after July 17-In Maui with the family!! July 18 is with Nicole! Yay!
Rest of the summer includes: oral surgery (wisdom teeth...fun), ears getting pierced (AHH!), white water rafting with church people, BAND CAMP!!! WHOOO!!, and back to school shopping!
*If anyone would like to take over my contact info for concert choir 2004-2005 project, I'll send you what I have and tell people to forward their e-mails to you! PLEASE DO THIS!! I'm leaving for camp and don't have a school directory and will not have a cell phone at camp, so that'd be great if you want to finish this up for me!!*

Finally...what you've all been waiting for...
Melissa's Words To The Seniors, Freshman Memories, and Plans for Summer!
Darin: Wow, there are a lot of things to say here. (Which is ironic, seeing as it's been over a year since we like...have said practically ANYTHING to each other.) But yeah, I think we both know how important we were to each other at that time in our lives. You really taught me a lot about life and what it means to be happy. It's been a long time since I've had one of those 6+ hour AIM conversations... Those were good. I'll never forget those. There are a few other things I'll never forget as well...but I've decided that I've learned from the mistakes and am glad to have made them, if only for the learning experience and the fact that I won't find myself there again. There's not really much else to say besides thank you for what we had and what I've learned from it. I can't say I needed to hear that I'm a pretentious bitch, but hey, I'm sure you're not the only one who thinks that. Have fun at Chapman and I hope that you are able to do whatever your heart tells you to do. (I'm sure YOU'RE capable of anything, there's just the matter of parents being unsupportive and whatnot.)
Matt: You awesome drum major, you! We love Matt! We we love love Matt love Matt! I'll miss your suppressed leadership (coughFerruccicough) and your friendly smile. You always made us laugh, even if it was because of your still-changing voice. You rock for being so supportive to the freshman and for being the musical God that you are. Have a blast at Davis and keep playing horn! You know that instrumentalists are sexy...
Jon: TUBA! You were my favorite leadership staff member. You're so friendly and happy and approachable and huggable! It's awesome! I'll remember you as being the first and pretty much ONLY leadership staff member for giving me little sticker stars for doing well during marching band camp! Thanks! I'll also remember going to see Fame and sitting with all of the marching band people and having a nice little conversation with you. I couldn't believe that I was talking to a senior! Haha! I know you'll do well in college and make tons of friends! Keep spreading your awesome personality to the world and you'll go far!
Laura: ASB President, Homecoming Court for Marching Band, Section Leader...you rock! Bassbone all the way! You are an inspiration to us all both as a leader and a musician. Have a crazy good time at Santa Cruz and keep being the amazing role model you are!
Dana: Okay, so maybe I've only talked to you a few times, but you're sooo cool! You're my favorite, crazy, wacko MSS alto! It was a pleasure standing next to you for graduation singing and hearing your lovely voice during concert choir! You have an awesome sense of humor and I'm sure you'll love college!
Brian: With your mad trumpet skills and marching ability, I look forward to seeing you in some championship marching band somewhere or hearing you play some mad solos for some philharmonic in the future! You're another leadership staff member who really welcomed the freshman and helped us all adjust to high school. Thanks for being such a friendly person and for making us all laugh!
Melissa's Freshman Memories
(Now I know I can't possibly recount all of them, but I'll go for a few...)
*Marching Band!! Soo many wonderful times with that group of people. I was really nervous coming in, seeing as I'd retaught myself how to play clarinet a few days before band camp started!! Then I REALLY wished that you could march an oboe. How wrong I was, though!! I bonded with my clarinet homees and hung out with them WAY more than my own friends outside of marching band during the season. I am so thankful to have met so many wonderful and talented people through the experience! I learned so much about the activity and what it means to work as a team in that short time. I only wish that I could have marching band in my life year-round!
*My first boyfriend. I think I wrote enough about that as it was all happening, so I'll leave it at that.
*Singing with Mark. Up until this year, that's all I'd known him as. I didn't even know his last name until a few years ago! Girls Ensemble has turned me into a girl with thicker skin and less embarassment. I've screwed up in front of all of you, gotten fed up with all of you, and suffered with all of you. Some of those long periods....yeesh! I think, as a class, we've bonded closer than any of my other classes. We have a caring relationship with each other that comes out when we're up there singing in front of everyone. We all care about each other's voices and how they've changed, and how Mr. Shaull hates some of us and loves some of us. We've all stood together, waiting for the G21, CC, and MSS lists go up. We've laughed and we've cried, depending on our voices and Mr. Shaull's mood. I've grown so much as a singer and as a person from these experiences. I can't wait until next year for Chorale, G21, and CC!
*The lunch crew. We meet for lunch every day in the 500 wing. "We" include: Me, Ali, Sarah, Sara, Marcella, Emily, Rachel, Eveyenia, Meredith (at one point), Molly, Louise...did I forget anyone? Well anyway, it's been great getting to know all of you better as lunch buddies. We've really been a tight group of friends, even though there are so many of us! We've talked about a lot and shared a lot with each other. (Me especially. I'm good at that 'sharing' thing!) We've gone through some traumatic times with friendship fall-outs and whatnot, but it's been a great year!! Babies!! Having a baby! I love babies, but not for me! Lunch bag quotes!
Oh, and THEY ARE BABIES!! I was right!!
*My first semester finals. And OH BOY were they stressful. I've never felt that on-edge in my entire life. It was seriously like 50 straight hours of being close to tears. I'm SOO glad my second semester finals were much more relaxed... and I'm forever thankful to that one person who called me during finals week 'just to talk'. MAJOR stress reliever!!
*Concert Choir and that that entailed. At first it was the best thing to happen to me since Marching Band and then it was torture. (For reasons that SHOULD be obvious.) CC really helped me understand what a mature voice should sound like. I also got to sing harder music and experience a large SATB sound. I also have fond memories looking back on camp now that I know a bit more about a certain person's intentions... (Thanks Francesco!! I knew all of that annoying 'tell me tell me' stuff would yield some good info!)
*Voice lessons with Paige. GOD I love that woman! Besides convincing me to be a music major, she's going to give me information about summer music camps and year round schools! Very cool! She's awesome. I think I want to be an opera singer. YAY!
