Update... yes?

I think its probably due since I am slack at messaging people (and have no credit).

Life, and the money within it, can be a stressful thing I am discovering - as can family.

But all the worries seem to disappear, or in fact DO disappear, when you step inside the amazingly magical place known as 'The Con'.

It's incredible.

All I am learning about is music... MUSIC! (except for Historical and Cultural Studies 1 - but that is with a young scottish lass lecturing who is one of the funniest people ALIVE - so that's ok).

All of my lecturers are incredible and so interesting - even the insanely overweight guy with little teeth or hair; HE in fact is one of the best - his knowledge of music is amazing. He is my music history lecturer - SO much to learn from him.

Composition is amazing - 20 students when there is meant to be 15 but that's ok because we can all be diverse. Some people I don't like too much (there are alot of either pretencious or introverted people) but so many people are INCREDIBLE CHAMPIONS!

Which brings me to the notions of friends. I happened to make an INCREDIBLY CHAMPIONISTIC friend on wednesday - also studying composition. It is quite fair to say that he would have been one of the cool kids at high school and I am great friends with him - in FACT, I was one of the first in our year to befriend him (which I did by recopying down notes from a tute that he was late for) and then borrowed scores and recordings for him as he forget his card.

He is very possibly me in a different body. It is quite cool and it is awesome to be friends with a cool kid. His passion for music and composition is incredible - we love the same composers and writers (though he isn't a giant fan of shakespeare). He is extremely down to earth but is so morally challenging which is awesome (all within a day mind you)... [look how ecstatic I get over the fact that I have a friend at the con... actually I have heaps but this guy is going to be one of the best]... Anyway, its a weird thing because I'm meeting people unlike most I have met before... this is SOOOOOOOOOO much better than school - SO SO SO SO SO SO SO MUCH BETTER... everyone loves music... everyone LOVES music! And they all have these driving passions.

I am one of the funny kids in every class - which is odd because I'm not a funny person - but its just because these guys are introverted and haven't really heard the notion of humour before haha.

In fact, Chris Williams and I are possibly the cool kids or the rebels... in the fact that every lecture (or over 130 people) we are making jokes and mucking up and causing havoc... its terrible but great all at the same time.

Basically, I love friends - I love friends who love music - its all incredible. I am so happy when I am at the con (even if wednesday is 9 - 5 without a single break!) It is such an amazing feeling to be in a place like this - school is somewhat for jerks - the con is for amazements (and pretentious jerks - there is a mix).

I miss alot of you people - you still mean the world to me. You are the ones I think of when I'm outside of the con and life is looking dreary and stupid and I have memories and smile and then go and write some music.

All is lovely when I'm surrounded by musicians and memories.

WRITE ME SO I CAN HEAR FROM YOUR FACES!

Still need to find the female cellists in my year so I'm able to find a girlfriend - haha!

Man, I LOVE the con and music and everything - man, I love having so many genuine friends who all love music... I LOVE IT! I hated school - and I see now why. School is ok - I just didn't fit in - and I'm at a place where there is no room between me and the surrounding puzzle pieces...

...I am piece that holds the twinkle in the little boy's eye in the puzzle you got for christmas.
