(no subject)
busy busy busy!!! school has been pretty nonstop for the past few days. monday night was synchro meeting which was really awful. basically, i wasn't even acknowledged, and quite literally, the only thing i said the entire meeting was, "I'm Amy, and i'm a freshman." they asked everyone if they had experience, and i was one of two people that did, but they didn't notice me, so oh well. then yesterday was our first practice. they're from 9-11 at night on tuesdays, thursdays, and sundays. even if its late, atleast i don't have to screw over my work availability even more. practice wasn't too hard, angie, the coach, had me do a few things while the beginners were learning the basics to see where i was at, and she had me go off with a couple of returning girls to help me with my support scull. wow....no wonder i couldn't do it...i evidentally have a really bad habit of looking at the bottom of the pool. what feels like im hunching over into a ball is actually the perfect body position. a support scull is how swimmings keep their legs out of the water in an upside-down position...its pretty hard, but i got the hang of it last night. i also learned how to eggbeat wrong, so i've been doing it incorrectly for the past four years. though it works just fine for me, im going to have to break the habit of turning my legs to the outside rather than inside. i just really hope she doesn't put me on the white team (beginners). i wanted to be on this team so i could be challenged and take things to a new level rather than keeping things easy in high school so the freshman could do it. i want something difficult! gah!! im really excited about being on the team in general, none of the girls seem too snobby, and we get to travel to places like ohio, alabama, and florida. now the only problem is money....money is always the problem.
im definitely going to switch majors at semester. this really really sucks. i hate music performance...there is so much involved, and its not like i underestimated, i just really don't like it. i hate theory, i hate piano...this career choice is NOT for me. i want to do music as a pasttime, not as a discipline, which it really seems like right now. i'll finish my minor, and then maybe i won't feel like i wasted so much money on books and such. i'll do the plan that spreads it out over the next few years since i won't be doing it next semester. i just feel so trapped or something...theres got to be something out there thats better for me.
so now im in the union, updating like a loser, but hey, tomorrow im bringing my laptop. i get so supremely bored in between classes. i have 2 or 3 classes in the morning, then i sit in the union for 3 hours, eating lunch, reading the newspaper (classifieds included), and reading my history book. its really sad that you're so bored that you actually do the required reading....oh well, it isn't too bad. oh, and since history gets so boring, i jot down the notes really fast and sloppy, doodle all over the place, then when im here in the afternoons, i copy it neatly in outline form into my "official" history notebook. its not that history is boring, he just talks a lot and goes off on tangents that really don't need to be written down. yes, tomorrow i shall bring the laptop.
my eyes itch so bad...the congestion isn't so bad quite yet, but the eyes. ugh. BRING IT ON, ALLERGIES!!!!! *randomly flails arms and throws fists through air*
