I Got into OCOM (the acupuncture grad school in Portland! Yay! I sent them a random photo-shoped comic of myself and then a thank you note after the interview. I will always wonder if that had any effect on my acceptance. Anyway, thats nice but I have no time to be too excited becuase puttin on the Ritz is this weekend. I already had a voce concert Wednesday and two opera chorus performances last weekend. I have corps this weekend too so I'll be flying in and out of there. I sent the brass staff man one of my compositions and he said he could tell that my influences were Whittacker and Lewis. So funny. Maybe I will arrange it for quintet as he suggested, but I really think it needs a whole brass line. Next weekend is another Wind-E and U band performance. I am playing euphonium in U-band because Jay called and begged, not knowing that I don't play euph. So I am learning fingerings but it is super easy to play and sound good on euph. Sissy instrument. That and T-bone. I really feel like the music departemnt's bitch though. I know that I could theoretically quit things but everyone would just give me crap and the directors would keep calling me and it's not worth it. SO they own my soul for now, but I think I will find just one group to play with in grad school. Or maybe jazz and quintet. New quintet rocks and it is faun to play with Cheryl again. We decided to create an "island of arrogent men" becuase it would be worth the money to maroon them there and watch them fight. Jazz fest sounded much better than I expected on the recordings. I feel like I am sight reading all the ritz charts but I can do it now. I never would have expected to pick up bone so quickly. Or Chinese for that matter. I have a quiz tommorow so I better go bed but I could actually communicate in Chinese with a TIUA student from Shang Hai that I talked to last night. SO cool.I can write too. And my website is nearing completion just in time. Howard's 21er was last night at the Ram. he has a ton of friends that I never see, mostly nihonjin. Buti have more friends on facebook and maybe people to hang out with now. He drank a lot but he doesnt get drunk, just red. He said he felt a bit nautious but no slurring or coordination loss or anything fun. Oh well, alchohol is only going to make trouble anyway. I don't need to wake up on random couches with random people's arms on me or anything like that. I love my boyfriend! I'm going to behave and not screw it up. Anway yeah, Go me. Go to bed, Me.
