| Going home tomorrow!
My piano final is at 11:00 tomorrow then I may hit the gym. My last thing is Saturday afternoon, so I still have to study when I go home, but at least I'll get some good meals in between! Thinking I might work Friday, but I'm not sure yet, I'll need to call tomorrow to see if they'll need me.
*Sigh* I have accounting on Saturday, but at least it's a presentation. It's a group presentation, but at least so far my group works, so it should be fine.
It crossed my mind today that I could go for a Political Science minor, but after thinking about it for a little bit, I realized that it would make me too busy with everything else. We're doing Oklahoma in February, and I'm in the pit orchestra for that, and I want to try and get in plays here, so I realized that adding another class would be too much. I can always take classes when I graduate if I so desire, and it's harder to get into plays. But that would have been cool; get a degree in Music Business and a BA in music with a Political Science minor, but alas!
I had to read this book for Political Science, and it's very eye-open. It made me appalled at a lot of things. Yes, but I suggest reading it. It's very intriguing. | | |
| Weird, I have free time. I'm so used to always having something on my mind that I'm kind of at a loss. The gym is closed, so I can't go there...maybe I'll go for a jog and then call it a day. Tomorrow I plan on studying and getting ready for finals.
I just bought this CD more or less for the first song (the CD title). How I love Louis Armstrong. Also I got a Harry Connick, Jr. Christmas album. I realized that I didn't have any Christmas music of my own, so I decided to fix that.
It's weird that I'm soon done with the semester. After that I head to see my siblings in Wyoming for a week. Ah joy! They were just down, but because of school, I didn't get to see them that much. Sad.
Ugh papers; I'm plugging one out a week it feels like. I have one to get done for next week too, I just remembered. It's a persuasive paper, but the teacher said that it could be fun. Not sure what I'm actually going to do, but I'm thinking about saying that every kid should learn the violin or something musical like that. Maybe it should be that everybody should memorize the dictionary.
I think that I wrote over 100 pages for school this semester, and starting next year I need to take a couple writing process courses. Fun, fun. Then if you count all the emails that I wrote and things like that, it's quite a bit more.
Alrighty then, I should go. I spent enough time on here for today.
To those who actually still read this, take care. | | |
| I love school. I love learning new things. I just have to keep working at it, and that's the hard part.
I didn't do as well on my midterms with two of my classes as I would have liked. I froze on the one, but I think I'll be okay now. I have straight A's so far with all my music classes, I wish I could say that with all of them. Yes, it's my non-music classes that I have to be careful with. I have two 5-page papers due Monday with the two that I'm not doing the best on, and I know that these points are critical for me (at least, if I want to get a B+ in the subjects). At least I have something to work towards.
Today was my first day back from fall break. It was so relaxing, I must say. Did some homework, spent time with Jared, worked and spent time with a very good friend of mine. Oh so nice! Can't believe that I'm halfway through, though. Wow, and soon it's November and that when my siblings are coming home for a couple weeks then!!
I'm working on a poem when I have the time, didn't get too far with it. Here's the start:
The moment took me with large embraces
These words were told me: "Do not leave traces."
So I walked then ran up to the old house
My tracks were like sand, my way to a louse,
My thoughts were so cold, so hard like ice
My technique so old, used it I thrice.
And my words, like love, held all my secrets
Desires from above were my trinkets.
Those are the completed rhymes that I have so far. Not exactly sure where I'm going with it, but that's really how I do all my poems, and I like the meanings that I'm able to find in them. I'm afraid that my rhyming style is getting the same. I'll need to work at that. | | |
| Papers, papers, papers. ow many do I need to write?
Oh well, things are still going good. I just need to study harder for tests.
I need to really watch what I eat and how much of it too, lest I get fat. Oh freshman pounds are certainly coming on. GRRRR!!!! Since I really study and eat, eat and study, what does one expect?
I'm getting to the gym some mornings, they have a class I'm doing it so that I can feel active somewhat. It starts at 5:50 Mon., Wed., and Fri., so my roommate and are starting to go.
Cypress String Quartet is going to be here next week! Oh joy, I even get to have a lesson with one of them! Also they're giving a masters class when they're here, and the piano trio that I'm in is planning of playing in it. Hopefully, we really only had one rehearsal together and were going to have one today, but the pianist didn't show. That's the third time since we started, so I don't know what we're going to do.
Anyways, I must turn in for bed I need to work this morning at 8 and when I get back to my dorm, I need to study. Manheim farm show is next week, and I'm hoping to get back one day to go there. | | |
| I decided to update, though I really don't have the time. College is fun so far, though last night would tell different. I stayed up till 2:45 trying to figure out a problem with my financial accounting, and it wasn't coming out right. I spent almost 3 hours just on that problem, and then I quickly had to do others. I hope the teacher doesn't ask for it today. I have two hours before that class so I'm going to try, once more, to get it right. Hopefully this time I'll get it even though I'm still not awake.
Orchestra is great. Need a few more violinist, but we'll make due. Playing Copland's "Appalachian Spring", Sibilius' "Symphony No. 2" and a waltz by Strauss, in which the Strauss I'm principal 2nd violinist.
My violin teacher is really pushing me, a lot of technique. He said that I'm close to being able to do something spectacular. With that, it really gives incentive to practice.
I'm in a trio with a cello and a pianist, and we're doing a piece by Haydn.
Orchestra concert is Nov. 11 @ 3:00 for those who are interested.
*Edit* I just had Financial Accounting class. We went over the homework that I was having trouble with (and the rest of the class), and I found that I did everything wrong and just made it hard on myself. Rats, I lost a doller and that was the cost of Soda bought to help me stay up. | | |
