Yup. I'm not actually shivering, I'm sick. On top of that, I had a test Monday, I have a test Thursday, and I have a quiz and a test on Friday. I just got out of my voice lesson, and I've got music theory and choir still today. I might also be going to a study session tonight from 8-9. If not tonight, then I'll go tomorrow 5:30-6:45. Or maybe both. Who knows. I guess I should grab some lunch right now, even though I'm not really hungry. Meds shouldn't be the only thing I eat today. :) Wish me luck on everything!
many wanderings.
Well, I've been able to access my blog for quite some time now, and I've done nothing about it. So I guess I should update.
I've started classes, obviously, and I had my first lessons last week. I really like both of my lessons teachers. I have a grad student for piano, and a new prof for voice, and they're both really nice. I practiced piano for two hours yesterday, and voice for about five minutes. Do you think that's a bit imbalanced? Well, in reality, I was told to pick and practice about four songs, practice Hanon, and learn all the sharp major scales this week, while in voice, I was given three warmups to practice, only two of which I can remember since she didn't write them down. That's ok though. I'm also supposed to be journalling about my practice time for voice, so she can keep track of it that way. I haven't started yet, and she expects five per week. I might be in trouble tomorrow at my lesson.
In other classes, well, they're all music too, except bio. So I guess bio is going well. The prof is interesting enough for me to stay awake through his class, for the most part, despite it being my first class in the morning. I've got lab for it with a grad student, so we'll see how that goes.
Back to music...in music Theory, I have a fun older guy who gave me the required software we had to buy for free when the bookstore ran out. Speaking of that, I forgot I have to load it onto my computer before class today, and class is at one. I also have homework for the rest of the class (today is just the lab), and I also have to catch up on reading for bio. I think I"m supposed to be to chapter seven for tomorrows lecture, and I'm on chapter three. Yeah....I better get going.
Back to school.
Well, I'm finally moved in to school, and classes started today. I can't guarentee the frequencies of my blogs now, because for some reason the USD firewall doesn't like to let me on this site. I can see other people's blogs, but not my own. So this is the first time in awhile that I"ve been on here.
Anyway, I actually have homework I have to do. I have to memorize a song and a half for an audition I have tomorrow. I just got the music about 2 today, so I have a lot to do. Love ya all!
Courtney Linn.
This is my friend Courtney Linn and me. She just sent me this picture, and I thought it was cool, so I'm posting it. She is one of my great friends from Northwestern, and she has aspirations toward photography. She's a sweetheart.
Packing.
Well, once again I'm multitasking, and really not doing the one thing I am supposed to be doing. I'm blogging (obviously), chatting with Chris and with my dear Sara, listening to music, and surfing the web. I should be packing, but dinners going to be ready soon, and I'll have to head down, so I figure I'm allowed a bit of mess around time.
I have to be packed by tonight, or at the very latest tomorrow morning, and I'll be back at school by Saturday.
By the way, Cody? If you're still checking out my blog, you should call me from whatever number you and Susan want me to call you at, and I'll stick it in my phone...otherwise I'll just be calling you one of these days...either way. :)
Multitasking is addicting.
I'm currently watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer (the movie) surfing the web, chatting on AIM, and sorting papers that I should have gone through two months ago. Well, actually, I just finished the stack of papers. What should I do now? The debate is between trying on jeans and studying music theory. Since the theory doesn't necessarily involve moving around a whole lot, and therefore not missing my movie, I think I'll opt for that. I'm such a geek. Oh well. Time to study, I suppose.
All night, All Day.
Ok, so I pulled an all-nighter. I didn't even do anything exciting. I cleaned the bathroom, and my room as well. How sad is that? I also wrote for a bit, but mainly I cleaned. Now church is in an hour, and I'm so tired! Oh well. I have the afternoon free, and I intend to use it! Naptime.....mmmmmm. I have a very large coffee sitting next to me. Somehow I think I"ll be making another before heading off.
I miss school.
Yes, Kit, I know, I've joined the league of conformity! I have rebelled against rebellion! Oh well. Don't worry, I'm sure it's only temporary. Anyway, let me explain why I miss school. I want to go practice. How sad is that? Ok, maybe not so sad since I have to do that to survive as a performance major. Still, is there something wrong with me? Who cares. I guess I'm stuck. I also miss the whole regular meal time/food intake levels/lower snacking levels. Summer really screws with my schedules. Maybe I'm more anal than I let on? Somehow that's really hard to imagine, especially for me. Oh well. It sounds like I have a nice roommate. I was kind of worried about that, it being USD, but somehow it's worked out. She's a peppy freshman, or at least that's what I've gathered from our one phone conversation. It should be fun. Hey, at least I don't have to learn a new roommate name! Her name is Mary Anderson, and my last roommate was Mary Elston. (For additional knowledge, our neighbor's name was Mary Hiemstra.) I know a lot of mary's. Ok, so now I think I'm going to work out and go to bed. By the way, if anyone has figured out how to fit in a workout at another point in the day when working a full time job, without! having to get up earlier, let me know. Thanks. :) Ok. time to go.
Sunshine, Lollipops, and Rainbows.
Ok, everyone will understand the title once they go to bounceeverywhere.com and click on the "download the song" link in the bottom right corner. You don't actually have to download just to listen (I don't think...). Catchy, huh?
That's all for now.
Modelling.
Well, I'm happy to report that the day actually went very well, despite my working a 9 hour shift. (I didn't have to clean smoking rooms! Yay!) Michelle played the model tonight and I played makeup artist/photographer. Wanna see some pics? Well you have to, because here they are.
