Tears On My Guitar...

The Last Supper was incredible. Incredible.

We had a nice dinner and watched the music videos we worked on. They were awesome. Awesome.

We then watched a video/photo montage of the WHOLE semester. I was loving it!

We then sat in a circle and talked about the semester.

Candice rambled and rambled, making everyone laugh...but I said EXACTLY what I wanted to say. I talked about how the beginning of the semester was SO difficult for me but how I grew and how much I love all of Semester 20.

This group is so talented and so great.

After the circle, I took pictures with everyone :)

It will be so difficult to leave this place after being here for three months.

It has not registered yet. But it will...

*sigh*

I don't want to go. And yet I'm ready for the next chapter in my life.

I'M SO CONFLICTED!

I could write and write and write...

I want to thank Tavis, Luke, Blasing and Marcus for being there for me this semester. I couldn't have done it without you.

I have such great memories of these people :)

Gah...this is going to be weird leaving here and probably not seeing the majority of these people.

...Oh boy...here we go.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart Semester 20. Saying I will miss you is an understatement. <3 :)

"Oh Candice Girl *hug*...heh...thank you for your hard work this semester..."

"Marcus is an angel from above...*LAUGHTER*"

"You look beautiful, Candice."

"Goodbye Candice."

Wow.

Today I studied for our written exam.

Then Luke, Amanda, Jason, and I, along with other CMC-ers, went to go see the documentary *Broke, at the Nashville Film Festival.

It is based on Will Gray, a CMC alum, who is a starving artist. It followed him through times of being financially broke but still doing what he loved.

It was so motivating and inspirational. I loved the film so much.

There aren't words to explain how amazing it was.

:)

It made me want to do good and not care if I make a lot of money.

It was so surreal to be in the movie theater surrounded by (probably) talented and experienced people in the music and film industry. I felt so important. :)

Then after the film, Kate from JillandKate (Kelly Clarkson's backup singers and best friends) talked to Luke and I about our semester and how both of us worked really hard this semester to be a part of the whole of Semester 20. It was really nice to hear such positive feedback from a person Luke and I look up to :)
Such a great ending experience at CMC.

Way to leave Nashville.

Yes, it is time.

And everyone is freaking out one way or another...either sick of this all or not wanting to think about it.

Candice? It won't hit until supper tomorrow night...

*sigh*

"Side dish. Always the side dish."

"Candice doesn't like yield signs."

(Too many to name)

Such great memories with these people...

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..."
