First Week...so...

It started out just fine...then it got complicated...then it got worked out...now it's settling.

So I got here and got everything sort of set up, then I waited through the weekend for classes to start.

Woo fun, right?...no.

Boring.

Then once classes started it was alright, all little easier than I expected...then tuesday came and I had a poop ton of work to do.

I found out my audition results and was extremely surprised to find myself in the top band, yay me. That is a cool thing to find out, but there is another set of auditions at semester so I might lose it...that would be sad.

Anywho, with those results I find out on Wednesday that everything is screwed up.

I have to be in two places at once according to my schedule.

After much asking around and wondering what was going to happen, I finally end up talking to a conservatory person who was (thank goodness) able to help me.

Well, now I have an online course and everything is cruising.

I had my first lesson with Mrs. Campbell, who is by the way amazing, and I got a bunch of stuff to practice, which is good and bad, because I've never had to work this hard.

So when I want to be lazy I can't and when I go to practice, I actually have stuff to do.

So yay.

Well, I wish I could come back...for one reason...maybe two...but stupid honors program has a stupid orientation thing from 9-3 on saturday so guess where I'll be...

yea.

Well, I don't know what I'm gonna do now, go practice in a while, that's for sure...but who knows what I'll do in between those times?

I don't.

Hope the rest of you all in college, whether away or not, are having fun...or at least not dying.

There is no place I could be but...

siiiiiigh.

:P

Really a New Beginning

It all goes down tomorrow.

I start with theory, then wind ensamble, then auditions, then keyboarding.

You guys can probably imagine how happy I am that I don't have to deal with crappy classes that have nothing to do with what I want to do.

I am so excited to start, but still a little nervous...I won't lie.

I might just be able to come back this weekend.

Oh, and by the way KC is like BBQ capital of Missouri, I think everyday there is a planned event where BBQ is the food being served.

It's ridiculous.

Good thing I love pulled pork, that's where it's at.

Alright, let's get this road on the show!

I can hardly wait...to see you...go to school...see you...yea, see you.

=D

Well Here I Am

It took a while to run my mom off, but she left surprisingly easier than I expected.

So my dorm is nice.

Kinda small, but that's expected.

I dunno much else, it'll just take some time to get used to it here.

That's also expected.

You'll have to give me a couple of days to send that.

I'm not entirely sure where I'm gonna find one.

Well, time to settle in to some good 'ole xbox...some things don't change.

:S

btw

I forgot to put the actual title of that song anywhere in that last post.

It's Vanilla Twilight, by Owl City.

Another good one is The Bird and the Worm.

The guy behind Owl City is apparently odd, which fits how he sings.

I think what he writes is very cool, and the way he puts it together is extremely happy sounding...for lack of a better word.

I love the line about looking at the hands.

I like the way Ross put leaving...it is simply going to be a two week vacation.

Just like France, only I can actually text.

If I'm your boy
Let's take a shortcut we remember
And we'll enjoy
Picking apples in late september like
We've done for years
Then we'll take a long walk
Through the cornfield
And I'll kiss you
Between the ears

The last couple lines have a double meaning that I like, you know on the face obviously...and then the ears of corn.

Nifty, nifty.

=D

Oh, the Times When we Doubt

The stars lean down to kiss you
And I lie awake and miss you
Pour me a heavy dose of atmosphere
'Cause I'll doze off safe and soundly
But I'll miss you arms around me
I'd send a postcard to you dear
'Cause I wish you were here

I'll watch the night turn light blue
But it's not the same without you
Because it takes two to whisper quietly
The silence isn't so bad
'Til I look at my hands and feel sad
'Cause the spaces between my fingers
Are right where yours fit perfectly

I'll find repose in new ways
Though I haven't slept in two days
'Cause cold nostalgia chills me to the bone
But drenched in vanilla twilight
I'll sit on the front porch all night
Waist deep in thought because when i think of you
I don't feel so alone

I don't feel so alone
I don't feel so alone

As many times as I blink
I'll think of you tonight
I'll think of you tonight

When violet eyes get brighter
And heavy wings grow lighter
I'll taste the sky and feel alive again
And I'll forget the world that I knew
But I swear I won't forget you
Oh, if my voice could reach back through the past
I'd whisper in your ear,
Oh darling I wish you were here

:')

I Leave on Friday

What?!?

:o

What Lies Beneath

If you didn't say it, sometimes it would be impossible to tell.

I can't say how incredibly awesome finals was/is/will always be.

I don't know how many times I've said it, but repetition doesn't make it any less true...best headache I've had ever.

Car rides are fun when the people with you are fun.

I was soo close to making that one, it would've hit Corey square in the face, but hey...it still would've gone in.

I'm happy there isn't a Madison Street in Springfield, well that I see ever, because I'm really tired of looking for it.

I still find it really ironic that the main drag we were on was basically Campbell, then as we went into the city it turned into Kearney.

Just proves how much Indiana likes Missouri.

The only bad part is that, now that I'm home, it seems like I'm going to be leaving again tomorrow for KC.

I would've liked the trip home to take longer, because when I get back here, all the stress and worry that I was able to get rid of while in Indy has all just flooded back.

It was a terrific escape, you all should come next year, I can hear that Holiday Inn Express calling our name.

Kinda Freaked Out

So whenever you go to post a comment there is that little man in a wheelchair.

I get that it is for blind people...but how are they gonna find the button to push?

I know there is programs that say whatever is on the page, but is it like a game of hotter/colder?

Then if you click on that button (make sure the sound is on), you get perhaps the weirdest thing I've heard.

Maybe it's just my computer, but it was like Satan speaking directly to me...that's a little far.

Then I got to thinking is that how blind people hear?

Cause that really doesn't make any sense at all.

If so how in the world did Ray Charles play anything?

You should check it out.
