Yes I know, been a while
Sorry its been a while, but I doubt anyone is THAT curious about my life, for if I ever published my life story in a book, it'd prolly sell one copy.
Anyway, I'm updating about many areas of my life, if there is a particular section you are curious about hit CTRL + F and type in one of the keywords below and it'll take you to the designated paragraph
APARTMENT
LIFE
SCHOOL
APARTMENT
Well its been 5 weeks since we moved in, and I have pretty much gotten used to living here. By getting used to I'm referring to becoming well aquainted with my surroundings such as the grocery store, music store, fast food places:-p the Blockbuster and etc... This apartment has really gotten to feel like Home, I haven't had the least bit of home sickness yet, the only thing I probably miss from home is having my laundry and ironing and shopping done without lifting a finger:-p. We've had some work to do when we first moved in such as arranging furniture thats the big one, but hanging up frames and organizing are movies and games, and deciding where to store all the food were some of the minor ones. I'm still waiting for a visitor or two that is NOT family, so you guys better get off your butts and come to Fresno, its just a 2 hour drive. Specifications of our apartment would be the 2 bedroom 2 bath (full), electirc stove, dishwasher, dining table with 4 chairs, refridgerator with no ice maker:(, one couch one loveset one coffee table, a light stand table and lamp, and corner tall lamp, a wireless network going around the house hooked up to a comcast cable modem, 2 stereos, a tv with an entertainment set that has a radio, cd player, ps2, gamecube, n64, and NES sitting below it, an arsenal of videogames for each, a fireplace, a clock, lol lots of other household necessities which I don't feel like typing over. Our bills aren't THAT much but of course a huge chunk of change, rent here would be $760, but we got a $500 off deal so that helped with the first months payment, uhhh water and grbage is included with it, internet is $20 for the first 6 months, and then $56 after that which I'll prolly disconnect when that happens:-p, and normal electricity and car insurance and phone bills. Eh, enough about the apartment, if you want to know more, ya got me on AIM.
LIFE
Yup Yup lifes been great, really no worries, just getting to school on time, paying bills, trying to find a job, relaxing at home, not very stressful. I had to get something with my mailing address situated so that was pretty hard on me, since that meant I wasn't getting any bills or my financial aid check sent to me. Getting adjusted to my new school schedule was a little hard which I'll explain why later. Having to do a lot of your own cleaning and washing and ironing has certainly needed some practice, sharing an apartment with your fiance has certainly been quite an experience, great practice for the real thing in a few more years. I've recently bought myself FINALE 2005 and a few miccrophones and a MIDI Keyboard so i've been composing to my heart's content:-D. And I've really been enjoying being able to eat what I want when I want and without having a fear of it being eaten already. I also enjoy going to bed when I want, playing which games I want, and when to do my homework. I'm definitely enjoying all my freedome even at the cost of a fraction of my time.
SCHOOL
Ahhh yes....school...glad to say that I'm ejoying it a LOT LOT LOT LOT LOT more then High School, not because of company or friends because in college you don't really make any, unless you share like 5 classes with them, or in my case band music majors which are freshman, but yea college rules. In my case its not really because of the cool schedule, my schedule sucks, but because of the fact that I have classes that I love, all of them. My high school schedule is as follows.
Monday
800-850 MUSIC 4APiano I(Basic Piano, which I already know which makes this class boring but I Can't change because it conflicts with my next class.)
900-950 CSCI 1 Critical Thinking + Computer Science (GE Requirement, only reason why i'm in it.)
1200-1250 MUSIC 47 Introduction to Music Technology (This is mainly using computer programs to notate music on the computer)
300-450 MUSIC 103MB Marching Band (Need I explain?)
515-630 ENGL1 Introduction to College Writing (English class, GE, pretty self explanatory)
TUESDAY
930-1020 MUSIC 1A Ear Training and Sight Singing (Yup I need to learn to sing..*sigh*)
1100-1215 MUSIC 40 Theory and Literature (Think of this as grammer and english but for music)
100-150 MUSIC 20 Convocation (I pretty much have to go too 7 of these aimed at music education and go to a lot of concerts)
200-250 MUSIC 103FE Flute Ensemble (One of my favorite classes where we play chamber music(fancy word for unconducted small groups) but with flutes ranging from duets to sextets funfun fun)
300-450 MUSIC 103WE Wind Ensemble (Concert band in other words, in which I was designated librarian where i get paid a $100)
500-550 MUSIC 102CM New Music Ensemble (Again concert band, but with a size of like 10 people in where we play specially arranged music composed by the schools composers, so far our instrumentation is a Flute/Picc, a Bass Guitar, Acoustic Quitar, Electric Guitar/Clarinetist, a Trombone player, a Violinist, and two percussionist, one pitched, VERY weird instrumentation)
Wednesday
Same as monday except for added classes
1000-1100 MUSIC 35 Flute Lessons
700-850 MUSIC118BW Band Workshop (Tuesday night practice for marching band, but on wednesday night)
Thursday

Just CSCI 1 and MUSIC 103MB which are also on Monday
Yup yup, 13 classes for a grand total of 20 units, people say I've outdone myself but I'm enjoying my schedule, i love being in soo many performance groups, and with all the time i have in between in classes (ranging from 10 min to 2 hours) I'm practicing all the music i've been assigned, so I'm never bored, just finger sore)
Well I think thats about everything, if anyone has any questions comments or concerns, you know what to do.
