Today was kinda crappy. Tuesdays usually are, as I have 7 classes on Tuesdays. Music Cultures was alright, and Form & Analysis was fine. Then after lunch, it started sucking. I had lessons with Brad and I stupidly wanted to start playing bones, so I sucked at bones for 10 minutes. Then I went back to work on congas, just to find that all the technique I used to have was gone. Then had lessons with Carney. As usual, it just made me disappointed in myself (not him, he's nice). So I went into a practice room and pretty much just sat around sulking and contemplating my future, which I've tried to avoid by enrolling in every class possible, but sometimes it just sneaks in there. Went to Symphonic Band and zombied through my parts and left. Jazz Theory was canceled, so I practiced steel drum. Then had Instruments of the World, which was alright. But I just felt crappy all day.
I also have like maybe 4 college friends, and I probably wouldn't make their Top 8 (ew myspace reference). And when I say "friends", I talk to them for maybe 5 minutes a day. Haven't been invited to any parties or gatherings. I hate to say it, but college is fucking lame. In high school, if I had vanished, people would care. I don't think they would here. Not my teachers, not my colleagues. I don't mean anything to anyone. Can't imagine when I'm out of college and I'll be looking back treasuring the college days when I had 4 friends.
On top of that, no one seems to care about our Percussion Dept. as well. Wth is that? I make these facebook events so that all the performers can invite all their friends. Of about 20 performers on facebook, it came out to a total of SEVEN people who weren't invited by me. I invited 60 people. Do we hate money? Do we not like good venues to play at? Do we not like good educational opportunities? This place really frustrates me sometimes.
