Well, I did rather poorly on the written part of my conducting final... thank goodness I got an A- on the actual conducting part of the conducting final... Hopefully my grade won't be too low.. I dunno...I'm just really stressed out super bad...... I think I really need school to be over, and I REALLY REALLY need to see Erin... I don't think she realized how much I really do miss her and need her... and well.. that's not helping my stress level at all either... but ohh well.. I don't have anything for at least a little while now... Only one real tough final coming up yet... and a joke of a final.. and to get my composition project done.. I still need to find a job.. but I should hopefully be able to find something in the first week or so of summer break.... We got to see our new dorm room/full size apartment for next year! It's absolutally amazing... Our own Washer, Dryer, Full Size refridgerator, stove and oven, our own bathroom.. 12 foot ceilings and more room than we're going to know what to do with.. Hopefully I can keep it from getting as messy as this pig sty... I've been listening to alot and alot and alot of beatles even more than usual.... I dunno.... Just something about them... I don't think i'll ever get sick of them... I suppose no one else does either... Ahh... I'm tired... Not like sleepy tired, but just tired, no will to do anything tired... Like I need a super good summer break, because if it isn't good i'm going to cry then i'm just going to keel over and give up....You know... I still don't have a whole lot interesting to say... Maybe going to play some videogames tonight.. don't know for sure.. Wish I could see Erin... not till friday, I don't want to interrupt her studying... so I'm going to go wander around and sit right here..... and think of something to do...

No news is no news

Sorry I've been blogging so sparatically! I've just been so busy with finals and things that I don't know what to do! Umm my Modern Latin America final went ok I guess... it's hard to tell with her, I thought I did a good job... I also found out that buying Tablas isn't going to be practical.. Mr. Novak doesn't know how to play them.. he said they're really specialized and that finding someone to teach me them would be near to impossible.... So maybe i'll just save up some dough and wait until next year then when I see what stuff I like best maybe I can buy myself some cool latin percussion stuff... I dunno, we'll have to see.. It's getting nearer to friday! I can't wait! I'll get to see Erin! I'm SO SO SO excited! I can't wait!

Lindsay you ARE on that list! Look again closer!

Umm, not much else going on.. I drove the Van up here to school to load stuff... I really like it.. The van and me are friends... Maybe mom and dad would give it to me? I dunno..

Well i'll update again later.. I have a final in an hour... just thought i'd say hi!

Baby you can drive my Car

Well, today sucked, I thought my piano proficency went really well... I though I had passed the prepaired piece and the frakenpole.. and i figured I failed the two sightreadings... well I guess I was wrong.. the ONLY thing I passed was the prepaired piece, and I thought I did really well on the Frakenpole.... Sigh... Dan Stief is a loser, a loser who just isn't winning.. My sax jury went ok i guess... nothing really special... and my audition for concert choir went rather well too.. I was kinda surprized, I don't really know if i'll make concert choir or not though.. I won't find out until begining of next year... Ohh well... I have what is probably my hardest final tomorrow.... So, that's going to suck... it's still a week till I get to see erin.... I'm still jobless... and i'm really starting to loose any hope that being alive is doing me any good..... blah...

Smile when your in a traffic jam

I see, I don't post and you comment... I do and you don't... Sigh.. I'm never going to win... speaking of me not winning, I totally sucked on my Percussion final.. i'm so dumb... I'll be super lucky to get a c- in that class now... I hope I do better in everything else.... or else I might as well just drop outta school... because i'll never get the GPA to be able to student teach... A few good things happened today... I got to talk to Erin for more than a few minutes... it was really nice... but I can't wait too see her.. I miss her so much.... it's just been too long without her.. It'll be three weeks! Still another week from tomorrow till I get to see her! :( Gosh I miss her... the other good thing was David Yingers Recital.. it was absolutatlly incredible... from a Super Funk version Well you Needed to excellent arrangements of spain, harlem nocturne, giant steps........ it was all good... there was even a tune that although Wasn't Sydeea's Song Flute, they made alot of references too it.. I just really loved it.... it raised my spirits... doing good on my piano proficency and juries would REALLY make my day tomorrow though....... OK I need to cut this short... I need to shower then get RIGHT to bed! I need to play piano at 9 tomorrow! it just isn't right!

Wow I actually have gone long enough for people to start DEMANDING me to post... Crazy... Sorry I haven't updated... I've just been really run down...
I honestly don't know that anything has happened since monday... I had my last day of classes today.. minus the percussion playing final I still have to take a 4:30......then tomorrow... ohh tomorrow... my piano proficency... and my juries... and maybe something else I can't remember... I have finals on friday and saturday... then mon, and wed I think... then I'm done... yess sir.. on wednesday i'm all finished...which it'll be nice to not have school.. unfortunatally I haven't found a job yet either... so I guess i'll have a week or so of free time in the summer until I can find some work... I'd really rather not go to Schaad or Hect's but I dunno... If I can't find any other alternative.... I may have too, but I REALLY REALLY don't want too... It's just not on the list of things I want to do..Really the only thing I DO want to do is see Erin... Other than that, i'd be just as happy doing NOTHING AT ALL! That would make me really happy... only playing music for my own pleasure, not for someone to critic and judge... Just spend some quality time making myself feel better... Yeah... that'd be good...

Holly sent this to me today... It's been awhile since i've talked to her.. actually I don't think i've really talked to her all semester... so it was nice to hear from her.

I think the life cycle is all backwards. You should die first, get it out of the way. Then you live in an old age home. You get kicked out when you're too young, you get a gold watch, you go to work. You work forty years until you're young enough to enjoy your retirement. You do drugs, alcohol, you party, and you get ready for high school. You go to grade school, you become a kid, you play, you have no responsibilities, you become a little baby, you go back into the womb, you spend your last nine months floating... you finish off as an orgasm.

I came to the bridge which few may pass.

"Pass!" cried the keeper, but I laughed, saying, "There is time;" and he smiled and shut the gates.

To the bridge which few may pass came young an old. All were refused. Idly I stood and counted them, until, wearied of their noise and lamentations, I came again to the bridge which few may pass.

Those in the throng about the gates shrieked out, "He comes too late!" But I laughed saying, "There is time."

"Pass!" cried the keeper as I entered; then smiled and shut the gates.

Ok, when I wrote that sunday blog the weekend had been dull... I must admit the rest of sunday was alot better....

Before the orchestra concert at 3 (which was quite rockin) I got invited along with about 6 or 7 other people to Ruby's (one of my future roomates) house for a homemade dinner by his mom... We ate ALOT and it was all fabulous... but even still we didn't manage to eat everything... it was incredible.. there was just so much good food... The conversation was well off the deep end too... The cast of characters included Drew Schlagel (sorry buddy, I know I probably spelled your name wrong), Dan and Janice, Matt Leady, Jason Bachman, myself, ruby (of course) The conversation went into realms of pygmies(or baby's if you will) Scuba Cats with shaved faces, and the ever popular Butt Tounge... Ohh yeah it got weird... I'm just really thankful Ruby dared to take the lot of us to his house, and allow his parents too see what his friends are like!! His mom took us in good spirits though... which was very gratious of her... then we died in his nifty little basement and watched the end of King of the Hill as we did all we could to try and digest... I might also add that Janice was reading MAXIM magazine! You can draw your own conclusions there... So these are some of my last few moments of piece before I have to go on a study/practice rampage through finals, playing exams, and juries... Over all the whole situation is going to suck ALOT... but schools soon done and i'll finally be able to see Erin and spend some time with her... It feels like it's been years and that really sucks...

Also if all this wasn't fun enough.... allergies have my nose completly shut, so I can't sleep... I sound like crap while i'm playing, I feel miserable... it's really irritating... I have alot of stuff that needs to get done.. I think I will have to make a list... So I can be sure it all gets done... All sorts of Blogs are in action so if your extra bored here are a few good ones to check out!!! http://www.sparklesparkle.net/jannieblog.html <--- Jannie http://ihaveablog.blogspot.com <--- Melius http://imchaos.com/newl.asp?x=CryingLeprechaun&y=873093 <-- Linsey.. although i'm not sure why when I copy her URL it has my screenname in it... I don't know what that's all about... but check em out anyway.... It'll be cool... you'll enjoy it...
K i'm stuffed, nasally, and stomachly..... i'm gittin out of 'ere

Michael Jackson.. Look what you've done!

Ok the weekend is dull... I don't like dull weekends.. Dan and Janice came and visited me a bit on saturday... but other than that... it's just been a boring weekend... I saw the Dover High School Band concert satuday night as well... they sound really good this year... I came back to school early... hoping to get some work done, and not be so bored... I actually completed a composition so that was good... I need to do some minor things to that one, and one other one that's pretty much done... then those will be complete... but I still have so much to get done for that class before the end of school... It's kinda irritating although it's probably more fun than anything else I have to do... I'm not positive but I think I have a Saturday Final... that really sucks... I don't want to have a final on a saturday... I've mentioned before most of my finals are really going to stink... I really need to sit down and figure out what time I have everything so I don't forget... Grrr Why can't school just be over... I miss Erin so much... The only reason I can't see her is finals... So there is another reason I HATE FINALS.

I also have to find a summer job.. and soon.. time is running out.. I just don't really know where to look... I'm thinking I'd maybe like to find something involving Data entry... hopefully I could just sit around with my minidisk player listening to music as I sit and type and type whatever information my employer needs to be typed... Sure it wouldn't do much good for my wrists... but it's my wallet i'm more concerned with than my wrists...

I started reading the Bahadva Gita.. it's pretty good so far.. It's very interesting the logic it presents... very interesting.. hard to describe though.... Well I've gotten plenty of hits.. but no comments... So I hope your all having a better Weekend than yours Truely... Guess I'll go do that finals look up thing...

When you arrive, you will know you are there.
