First of all, forget about all that lame stuff from last week.
Second, being at home is really pretty lame so far. Mostly cause I'd rather be hanging out with someone at western, mind you, but nevertheless, I am trying to make a productive few days here. Totally devoted all my efforts into finding a car. I will not rest until I find one; I will bring it back to kalamazoo with me.
I really like not having school right now. I'm pretty bored with all that. Methods budget project? Haven't even opened the e-mail.
It's been a weird couple of days, that's for sure. S'okay though, I feel like I know where I am now.
My dad went to see Lake Orion play at the band festival on Friday. He says they were incredible, that they sometimes sound almost as good as WMU's Symph band. I believe it, 'specially after our last concert. Point of fact, Lake Orion played Tempered Steel at Festival. I can't wait to ask him if we sounded as good as my old high school band when we play it. Sigh. What a musical bummer.
Do I really want to be a band director? I mean, it makes sense that I would, being as invested in music as I am. Plus, I genuinely love teaching. My concern is whether or not I'll be able to make as much of a difference in people's lives as I want to. Plus, I really don't like routine. I get the feeling that I'd want to just go do something else after a few years. Then again, I like music a lot. Sometimes I think too idealistically, and I totally ignore the practical issues.
I have no idea what I want? I guess I just want to make others' lives better. And, since philanthropy is too heavy-handed, I want to teach. Maybe. I'll figure it out eventually.
No need to be concerned now anyway. Just live the life.
I want to go the Northwest. Really really. Really.
