I'll have to make this quick, considering David Phinney & Deborah Randisi thought it would be swell to finally give me some work to make up. It's all good though, whatever makes me graduate!

First and foremost I'd like to share some awesome news with everyone:
I GOT ACCEPTED INTO SUNY POTSDAM!
I came home from school and noticed a really small envelope from Potsdam. I was definitely expecting a letter telling me to get my butt in gear and send in my new request for an audition date (I'm hoping to major in music education, for those who do not know). I can honestly say that I was very surprised to read a letter that started with "Dear Courtney, It is my pleasure to offer you admission to The State University of New York at Potsdam for the fall 2008 semester...." SWEET. So if I don't get into Oswego, I'll definitely be going to Potsdam. Which is even sweeter, because that's where Rive went. If you are out of loop and do not know Rive, wow! SUCKS TO BE YOU.


Now, for my punchline. STYX IS THE BEST BAND EVER. Honestly, I really don't think I have to take my time and explain this to anyone, because no explanation is needed... they are that AMAZING. It took me awhile to get into rock music, but I started my classic rock binge last summer. I really didn't have a choice while being stuck in a car for 3 hours with people who listen to nothing but classic rock 24/7. I mean, I've always listened to it, I've just never really loved it until recently. I am seriously a Styx fiend. I have every single one of their songs on my iPod. The other day I was participating in some serious channel flipping and heard "Welcome to the Grand Illusion" and immediately stopped right then and there. Of course it was on "That 70's Show" (awesome show) and they were in the basement listening to their album. The wonderful Time Warner Digital Cable (or not so wonderful?) informed me that the episode was actually about how they got tickets to a Styx concert. It made me all the more disappointed that I had only caught the last minute of the episode. I actually had a chance to go to a Styx concert last month, but I'm way cheap and didn't have $60 to spend on a concert ticket plus gas for my car. Seriously, though I think it's going to become an addiction close to the severity of the Smallville addiction I currently have. Meaning it's only going to get worse from here! Mr. Roboto was my first favorite song by them and I'm pretty sure that I drove my friends crazy by putting it on repeat and making them listen to it at least once an hour every day. Of course, I eventually grew tired of this song and now "Too Much Time On My Hands" holds the amazing title of "Courtney's favorite song". However, everyone should know that my music personality is crazy and Ilisten to every single genre besides the following (with good reason): polka, jazz, gospel, most metal, most country, and bluegrass. Other than that, I listen to everything. I was recently informed that I should definitely make an appearance on "Don't Forget The Lyrics". My music knowledge is insane. I am definitely considering to be the first person to win a million dollars on that show. I think I could. Anyway, back to the matter at hand. STYX. AMAZING. LISTEN. THE END.
