Le rant......
So...I guess I'm not graduating. Again. Fucking second time I've applied to graduate, and then find out practically at the last second I'm not. I thought I'd graduate in 4 years. Now 5. NOW 6!?!? WTF. Fucking being a music major has dicked me over. All that is keeping me from graduating is one fucking test, and I lacked 2 points passing it.
I came in to Radford University with 12 college credits from high school. I busted my ass to make all A's and B's, take summer classes, and generally just work my ass off to finish college on time. I did all my shit in 4 years, but then I had to stay another semester for JUST voice lessons. Then that extra semester turned into another semester because I didn't pass the Praxis II. And now I didn't pass it again, so I have ANOTHER semester. Grandma wants me to come home for a semester, but I can't do that, I just can't. I can't go back home for good. Too far from my friends (and boyfriend), and too far from a reasonable job for a musician (Franklin County isn't exactly a bustling metropolis), and not to mention the fact that my house is, well......depressing.
I am going to go home for the summer, definitely. I gotta help my grandma go through things...my God, we have 4 dead people's stuff at my house. We have my dad's stuff, my aunt's stuff, my granny's stuff, and now grandpa's stuff that we HAVE to go through. I really wish grandma wouldn't be so stubborn and live in an assisted living facility close to me here in the NRV (so I can come visit her more) or something for a year while I finish my fucking 6 year college plan, then we can really take our time to go through the house. She has her wits about her, she is just still very paralyzed from her strokes and has a hard time moving around our house.
I am going to Ireland in June, though, that hasn't changed. Grandma's agreed to either stay with my great aunt or have my great uncle come up and stay with her while I'm there. Shortly after that, It's gonna be busy, because I gotta move my stuff into my new hizzouse here in Radford...I am SO glad I gave myself an entire month to do this since grandpa isn't here to help me move...I can take the whole month to move in if I want. Definitely going to have a nice little housewarming party/birthday party in the middle of July, so that'll be cool. Also, Warped Tour comes to Charlotte on my birthday this year, so that too...........
......and that's as far as I've thought as far as fun-plans.
As far as what I'm going to do about not graduating, not student teaching...well, I want to do a senior recital, period. Half piano and half voice. This semester's been rough and I hope I can still do it, especially with an extra semester of nothing padded there. We'll see...I may end up taking a full load again, maybe I'll go for another minor or something. UGH. Aaaaanyway, I'll write more later. fjdioa;chfidosachfidao
