brown and blue
the word that sums up my september 2005 is "unexpected". i've officially completed one full month of college life and let me tell you, it's absurd! i'm not sure if it's what i imagined it to be or if it's better or worse. it just is. college. the transition from high school to college was definitely better than the transition from middle school to high school. while i do miss my high school friends, i know i'll see them in a few months and i still talk to them often, so no biggie. i've met a bunch of nice people here, a few stand out more than others though. the workload isn't too bad, but that's because i didn't choose any horribly tasking classes. my most confusing class is elementary french, it has taken over my life! it's kinda nice though. it's a pretty language :). i can't wait until i can actually speak it without stopping for 5 seconds in between words. one day!
i must say that the most thrilling and unexpected thing that has happened to me is playing the trombone again!! i thought spring concert was the last time i would ever play one. it was so anticlimactic though because the director of TSO (tufts symphony orchestra) just gave me a trombone and told me to play with the others. i didn't get to warm up or anything. i was pretty lame, but it's all good, i hadn't played in 5 months! make me music. TSO had an announcment up that they needed more trombone players so i answered and that's how it all started. now i get to go to rehearsals and perform in the concerts and maybe even go to costa rica! i always loved band. now i know it loves me back. hehe. :D
another unexpected thing.. is a guy. no details. :)
the weather is also unexpected. well, i did expect massachusetts be colder than maryland, i just didn't expect it to be so cold so early! it's alright because i get to wear my bangin sweaters, yayyy.
however, i did expect missing my family, and i do. EXTREMELY! everytime i get off the phone with them i get a tiny bit of the blues. le sigh. i get to see them in a couple weeks though on parent's weekend. i can't wait!!
