Yay for good weekends! Ben took me out to dinner on Saturday even though the roads weren't that great (hey at least we got steak):) We spent the rest of the weekend relaxin (which is A-OK to me!)
I'm still getting used to my schedule...today I had my first lesson of the semester. It went ok, I asked my teacher what I needed to work on the most this semester and told him that I wanted to be challenged. I'm just so worried that I am just not going to make it in this career. I told him that I felt behind everyone else and he said that I have the same ability as everyone. *sigh* I seriously don't know what to expect after I get out of college. Where do I go? I feel like they are not preparing us at all for that. I feel like I'm just going to be out there on the street somehow finding ensembles to audition for and if I don't I'm SOL. I don't want to be dependent on anyone else. What is the point of a music degree if I'm going to end up working as a greeter in Wal Mart? Grr. I know that this is not the right attitude but I just don't know if I'm getting any better...that I'm standing in place.
I'm taking this intro to dance course and it looks like it is going to be more work than I am willing to put into it. I have to attend 3 dance performances (one ballet, modern and cultural). I have to pick them off a list that she gives to us and they are not going to be cheap. Not only do I have to pay to see a ballet at the Kennedy Center but I somehow have to find the time as well. I also have to go to Hornbake every week to watch a dial access video and post discussions on WebCT. That's also another thing that I can't stand, everything is on WebCT, she didn't even give us a syllabus. That frustrates me alittle because I like to have all my notes and assignments written down...not depending on a stupid website. Oh and did I mention that the teacher seems like a complete space cadet? I mean she had to have been a hippie---you know one of those "what is the meaning of life?" kinda people. I just can't stand that.
I'm still testing out my stomach. All last week the diner food made me so sick. Today I tried the taco salad...we'll see how that goes...(don't worry I will keep you posted)
Well looks like I've said all I have to say for now...weekend, lesson, space cadet teacher, stomach...Yup good to go!
yikes.
