Andantephobia? is that the fear of a ‘walking speed’ tempo?

History and Theory tomorrow are going to SUCK. Luckily there is no EDU 107 tomorrow though, so i’ll be able to nap between 11-3 if i decide to. Then after quartet and marching band, i’m taking my dad to dinner at the dorms (he’s never been) then we’re picking up liz and ethan and heading home.

I’ll be home for a very short amount of time before heading out to Lapeer for the Order of the Arrow Conclave. I don’t think Colton or Carter are going though 😦

I watched moulin rouge tonight with Ryan and Kristi (in Kristi’s room… which is also Cassie, Ali, and Kelsey’s). I didn’t really get to watch much of it though, because there was lots of interesting conversation that was being very distracting.

Not really looking forward to my lesson on monday, since i won’t have the weekend to prepare for it. Maybe I can talk dad into driving me up as soon as we get home Sunday.. then I’d be up here around 4ish… hopefully, and that should give me a good practice session before monday, then i’ll have another 45 minute ish one right before my lesson… that’ll be good (continues thinking about this… but not in typing)

So, as long as I’ve been here… i still don’t quite feel settled into my room yet, i think i’m going to rotate the bed 90 degrees and put it up against the window, then put the dresser on the other side, then i might find a good place for that other poster i have.

hero they deserve

So I went to see Dark Knight with Ben last night. It was a great movie (like everyone else has blogged about). I usually don’t like superhero movies, but I have to make an exception for this one.

After the movie we went to Tim Horton’s to get something to drink and ended up talking in the parking lot until about 1:30. I think it was good for both of us to see that we really can do things as just friends, and I think that this may be an important step to rebuilding our friendship.

We talked about a lot of things last night, from music, to history, to past friends, to college life…

We’ll see what happens, but I hope to get him back as a good friend… He is someone that is not afraid to tell me that I’m being stupid, and will give me his honest opinion all the time… something a lot of people don’t do

With College quickly approaching, I find myself really excited for the year to come… except for saxophone lessons. I know Nichol is going to say that I didn’t practice enough this summer… but I don’t care. My goal at CMU is not to become a top-notch saxophonist.. it’s to become a top-notch band director.

da-dot da-dot da-da- dot da-*slap*

Hmm…

i think that perhaps my ears were extra sensitive today or something… it seemed like i could hear when something was even the slightest bit out of tune, which was a source of great frustration today

also a bunch of little things were annoying me today, stuff that people always do.. and i never really ‘liked’ but always just brushed it off before

maybe it’s time for me to become a little more aggressive about what i actually think sometimes…

lunch with kelsey was nice though, i really admire how much she cares about people and i think she will make a great teacher and/or mom

brass tech was fairly interesting today, dr cox gave a lecture about tubas and euphs

quartet at 7, then maybe a recital at 8… if i feel like going, then back to the room for some intense chill out time because practicing today has
been futile so far and i dont think it will change any as the night gets closer

the jury is coming up, which i’m not all that worried about. the thing i’m most worried about at the end of the semester is the quartet recital (since i definitely have gotten 100% on the scale tests that todd and nichol have been giving me for a while, and sight reading has never really troubled me)

nichol gave me a lot of compliments today, but i felt like i didnt play anywhere near my potential…. odd how that man works

this turned out longer than i thought it was going to be
