Sooo....
I keep promising myself that I'm only going to update when I have important, philosophical, just overall intelligent things to say...like susie's posts for example. yet apparently my life isn't that eventful. but since i'm the champion at procrastination on facebook/livejournal I figured i might as well update. so this weekend i ran in the fun run put on by whitman cycling team and various other sponsors. it was good fun (as it should be) and i won my age division-females 20 and under. it was kind of bittersweet though because my time was the same as times i was running in high school while training in xc...except i hardly ever do hard workouts now. i figure this means that i never really reached my potential, which makes me sad, but there isn't a lot i can do about it. i really need those fun runs as competitive sporting outlets...i think i'm more competitive than i give myself credit for.
big news today....so this whitman band that i heard play last spring is reuniting this week--they were all seniors who graduated last year. but they're playing at a bar! i REALLY want to see them play, but i don't really want to deal with fake ids because its dishonest and i don't really have any prospects, nor do i want to get caught. but I REALLY WANT TO GO. any suggestions? should i just go beg the bouncer at the bar to let me in...obviously i have absolutely no interest in drinking....but i know that makes no difference to them as they could get in trouble. this is quite the dilemma.
here's something i'm thinking about lately...i feel like my life here is so selfish. pretty much all i do is study and practice piano, which takes up most of the day. i really wish i had time to volunteer or mentor or just do something not for myself but for others. in light of all the hurricane business, i just feel that my life is completely self centered. really the only way i see fixing it is not practicing piano so much, but i don't really see how thats feasible as a music major. i could not study as much, but i would be so frustrated with myself when i get a bad grade where i knew i could've done better. basically, not getting my stuff done nags at me in a way that i have trouble being productive in whatever i'm doing instead of studying or practicing. and getting my stuff done takes up most of my waking hours of the day. is this a bad thing? perhaps college is just inherently a selfish time. but i still feel like i could be doing more.
