Longest entry in a long while
Orientation was cool. There were like 15 Wootton kids there, and we were incredibly anti-social and pretty much hung out with each other for a lot of the time, save the last lunch where Laura Goldstein and I (gasp!) sat with random people. Anyways, you still-high-school-kids all have to promise not to hate me too much: Monday-Thursday, my earliest class is 10 and Friday it's 9. As of now, I'm taking, not including lessions/ensembles which havent been determined/scheduled yet, these classes:
My SAT verbal score exempts me from ENGL101 and my AP Lang score will get me credit for it, my AP NSL score will get me credit for GVPT170, fulfilling one of the two Behavioral/Social Science CORE requirements, the other B/SS might be filled by AP Psych depending on my score, AP Lit'll probably take care of my Literature CORE requirement, and AP Theory will allow me to try and test out of Theory I. Not sure if AP World will do anything because my advisor said it wouldn't, but it does in the handbook...so i don't know. So, depending on my AP scores from this year, I could enter with at least 12 credits, maybe more, meaning I could enter my second semester with sophomore standing (30 credits). Score.
Best part right here: "Because you're exempt from math due to your SAT score, if you stay in your major, you will never have to take math at College Park"-my advisor.
Myself and the other music major in my advising session might have died of happiness.
Yesterday at the meet I pretty much sucked, and we lost, but that wasn't my fault. No, someone decided to not show up. As in, actually decided not to come, not just in a inferential sense. Screw him; just get your damn body in the lane. Its inexcusable when you do that and you only have one other swimmer in an age group, because even if he wins the race, the points the other team gets with its 2nd, 3rd, and 4th places overcomes the 8 points the winner gets. Idiots. It really pisses me off if you just can't take it for the team.
Have any of you ever bothered to read the Starbucks napkins? They read like an Engrish...encounter. Theres this abstract little picture of a leaf or something, on which is written "I feel the sun...let me touch it...on my face...growing." ...riiiight then
I got my CoE rehearsal schedule for the first month; excluding weekends and July 4th, i have rehearsal every night until July 22nd. Didn't think it would be that way. And I regret it cause I won't be able to go to any B meets after next week. Or pep rallies! asdl;jksfgh;losdfhj cause they added friday rehearsals that they said they wouldn't have. But hey, this is what I wanted to do...so I can't really complain. I just keep reminding myself that I get to play Cain in Children of Eden. But yeah.
I'm trying to arrange "Somebody Told Me" for A Cappella (not that i know who yet) but the intro is imposssssible with all its little bee-boop things. Eh, it's dictation practice haha.
Last night went to CPK with Sam, Allison and Laura and then to Jackies to watch movies and stuff. And much as I dislike horror movies and wouldn't really count Red Dragon and Silence of the Lambs as such, they're much better when you're with a person who makes it impossible to be scared.
- MUSC150: Music Theory I (depending on AP score, i'll test out of this and move up to theory II)
- MUSC123: Movement for Singers
- MUSC126: English/Latin Diction
- MUSC102: Class Piano (in which i'll probably have to force myself to forget the i'm sure horrible technique i've taught myself)
- CPSP118C: College Park Scholars Colloquium
- EDHD230S: Human Development and Societal Institutions (for CPS, might change it to Human Diversity)
- BSCI205: Environmental Science (for CORE non-lab science requirement)
