Lack of Sleep Makes Anyone Think...

Late night with Dan went well, I thought.

He ended it by saying what a great job I had done this semester.

:)

I'm thinking of starting a blog just to start one. A great friend gave me the idea...

Oh boy. One more day. I don't want to think about it.

Not ready...at all...to say goodbye...

*sigh*

Artists and Hallucinations...

"You literally sounded like you were down on the farm, Candice!"

I don't know what to say or do...

The Grammy's were so much fun!

Ashley, Meredith, and AnnaMarie made me look absolutely beautiful.

I felt so confident. They kept telling me that I looked like a model. It made me feel invincible.

When we got to CMC, everyone was loving how I looked.

Alex and Evan told me I looked stunning. :) Alex pretended to hit on me after he said it haha.

Tom told me I looked crazy beautiful. :)

And Luke and Tavis told me some wonderful things. :D

I won MVP-Tech and Service Award-Tech.

I felt so perfect tonight.

But as you know, Candice doesn't feel like that long.

It might've been lack of sleep or...something else...but I got quiet real quick...

I'm so grateful for this semester even though it has been so difficult on me.

And I love my CMC friends even if I want to punch them every once in awhile.

...Tonight was uber fun.

And I felt so wonderful and beautiful and great and full of smiles.

Ahhhhhh yay.

"She's got a great body." :P

And the Winner Is...

Today we had two guest speakers.

The first was Nathan Johnson and his wife. He has worked on all kinds of albums and movies with music. He was a really cool guy and had a lot of good things to say.

Then was Paul and Courtney, friends of Warren from Greenville College. They both work in the tech/production area of music, in New York City.

Paul works at the Jimmy Fallon Show and Courtney works for an audio company. They had some awesome stories and I really enjoyed it.

After that we were supposed to have sound check for the Grammies but no one really showed up so we cancelled it.

Tonight? The CMC Grammies. I'm psyched. I am going to dress up big time! Ashley and Kylie are doing makeup and hair on me.

Look out CMC boys. ;)


"And I'm on drugs!"

When we were young...

Today I helped with Talain Rayne's music video shoot.

It was EPIC.

EPIC!!!

I will definitely post a link to it when it is up online.

So much work and detail went into it.

A lot of time as well but I didn't care, I enjoyed every bit of it!

:)

I also worked on my exam and finished it! Yay.

Tomorrow night is the CMC Grammies. I'd have to say I'm really excited. ;)

I'm exhausted. a lot.

Candice is dead...

This morning I had Dan's late night recording session from 4am-9am, took a nap, ate lunch, and then had his usual recording session from 1pm-4pm.

*sigh* I am so tired right now. SO OUT OF IT.

This evening I will be working on finishing my final exam. It might kill me but I have to get it done before tomorrow.

Tomorrow we have a video shoot with a CMC alum and our final is due Monday morning.

:) Oh the last few days of this semester...I'm starting to get emotional...like sad emotional.

As you already know, I've been very emotional in other ways.

Anyhoo.

I'm ready to sleep...sometime...soon.

"I find it funny..."

What a way to end a terrible day...

Today we had the "Friends CMC Live" during lunch. It was for friends and collegues of our faculty to come see the building and us students. Some cool people from the music industry were there.

The show was stressful and energetic and I wanted to punch some people.

I say it all the time, but I'm done. Finished.

I'm sick of disrespect.

After the show we had three more music videos to shoot and then I went to dinner with Tav and Luke and hung out.

When I got back to the apt I found an email from Tom and Warren explaining that Michael W. Smith's manager was in the audience today and liked my efficient work onstage....

......
......
.....uh...what?!

I am amazed and astounded...but that just made my day better.

Wow.

No quote tonight, it's not needed... :D

Sore

This morning we had class with Tom.

Then we got ready for our special guest...AMY GRANT :)

Two of our girls were showcased during her visit, Ashley and Kylie.

Amy talked with us about working with people, her inspiration, and music.

It was really cool to sit in a room with such an artist and talk about real things rather than acting like she was soooo famous.

She is a really wonderful woman.

She ended the hour playing two of her songs she has not recorded yet. She has such a beautiful voice.

Then we had music videos for Ashley, Kylie, AnnaMarie, and Luke.

It's so fun to watch AnnaMarie and Luke get into their songs. I thoroughly enjoyed it :)

Tonight I'm gonna work on my exam and get some sleep!

"I was smiling so big; I looked like a goof."
