So here's the grand update. It won't actually be all that grand, but here we go:

- I had my senior recital about 2 weeks ago. It went... ok. I've never been so nervous on stage in my life. It was truly weird because I walked out on stage with no issues, but as soon as the mouthpiece hit my lips it all froze up. My mouth got ridiculously dry and ( Read more... )

That's a line from that 1984 classic remake of the Meet the Mets song. Long story short, I went to a Mets game last night for the first time since, the 90's. That sounds weird. As soon as I heard that song playing outside the gate, I got so excited. My dad and I missed the first half of the first inning, but it didn't matter because it was a lot of ( Read more... )

Hooray for meaningless updates. I knew today was going to be a good day from the start. I woke up and absolutely didn't want to go to my percussion class, but I dragged myself there anyway and I got my grip corrected which now allows me to control the stick, yet let it "do it's own thang ( Read more... )

I felt no need for a "Subject" of this entry. There really hasn't been much going on in my life. There are some midterms I did ok on and I'm happy, there are others I wish I had pulled through more with. Meh. What can I do. Just work to improve it I guess.

Student show is under way for marching band. I've been really hyper in rehearsals lately (and ( Read more... )

Tonight, as I was leaving Blair, it was raining. I just wanted to climb up onto the fence, stand there and do the screaming scene from Garden State. Unfortunately, it being 12:35 at the time and the fact that I was pretty sure a) I couldn't keep my balance b) I'd slip c) I'd impale myself on one of the spikes... I decided against it ( Read more... )

So, I haven't given a real update post in a while. Meh. Not that I don't care, it's just... well "Spit happens..." (for those of you reading my Xanga, that's the title of my Live Journal page ( Read more... )

So it's parent's weekend. I didn't spend much time w/ my folks until this evening when we went out shopping and to dinner. They got me new shoes because Leslie (my horn professor) told them I needed them. I guess my old ones were pretty beat up. We hit up Target and got myself Anchorman and Old School on DVD, some snacks, and a bunch of other stuff ( Read more... )

That's a quote from the Vanderbilt Campus Safety online course. I passed. And I have a certificate to prove it ( Read more... )

But don't do it barefoot. You see I was running from my Horn Ensemble class to get to English and I don't like being late, so I ran. But running in sandals doesn't do it for me, so I stuffed them in my bag and ran barefoot. I got to class, panting and in pain because the ground is uber-hot. This was the least of my worries though because when I sat ( Read more... )

Starting on a root and going up by those intervals, what kind of chord did I just spell out? Special, non-existant prize but congratulatory remarks to the first person who guesses it right ( Read more... )
