So how about I update?
So this semester is going really well. I've somehow learned to balance homework and a social life. I go to convos all the time, I actually do my homework, I know what's going on in my classes, I have friends that can take me places... I'm still not saying I love it here, but things are better than last semester.
I have a lot of random energy right now. Today I have:
Done math homework that's due next thursday
done computer fundamentals homework thats due monday
read a book for a paper due....who knows when
cleaned my bathroom (including scrubbing my shower)
loaded/unloaded the dishwasher
gone to class
and had a dr. appointment.
whew
I think it's time to relax for the day. Tomorrow night I'm going to the play "The Lion in Winter" on campus. That should be fun. I like doing stuff by myself or with people I know, it really doesn't matter.
I've come to terms with my degree. I'm, again, finding loopholes and working through the things I dislike. I don't want to work in the music industry anymore, so I'm going to find business internships. By the time I graduate I should have 3 under my belt. That's pretty rockin'.
Last week I was given the opportunity to study music business classes in New York City at our Belmont East program. This week I declined. Last year I would have jumped through hoops to get that opportunity, and until last October I pretty much did. A lot in me has changed since then, including my goals. Life is different, I want different things and I need different things. I don't want or need to go to Manhattan. Ugh.
Up until this afternoon I thought they were going to convert my nice, comfy 2 bedroom on campus apartment to a 4 person unit. I was either going to have to move off campus or into a dingy, older 2 bedroom apartment. This afternoon I found out only certain buildings will go through that change, and mine is NOT one of them. Woooo!!! I don't have to move!!!! I'm so tired of moving....Who else do you know that is 22 and has moved 9 (or is it 10....11?) times??
I also have a job on campus that is incredibly flexible. I work for the Curb Event Center (where the basketball games and other big events are held). Since it's not technically a job from the school I get paid more than the average on campus job (ka-ching!). It's nice too because I don't have to work every game, I can pick and work the times I'm available.
Hopefully I'm learning to manage my money better. I don't feel desolately poor but I know I am still doing a lot of pointless spending. I kind of can't help myself; I've always been ridiculously poor and now I can buy stuff if I need it OR want it. It's nice. It's not my money, but it's nice.
I'm thinking of grad school. I don't know enough about it to say more than that. I'm thinking of grad school. Could be fun. would only benefit me. We'll see. Don't need to worry about that now.
God I'm so glad I don't have to move. Yay!!!
I want to watch friends but my roommate is practicing guitar in the living room. I hope she'll be done in 30 minutes.......
My Guy and I are doing perfectly fine. I was scared for a minute last week but now we are back on track and things are great. I fly to Chicago 3/4/05 for my spring break. Rock!!
Anyways, my food is done so I'm going to eat. Hopefully I can start updating more habitually. Don't worry, I didn't forget, I just don't usually have time! =0\
Much love,
yours truly.
