Long Day
Well, it's been a long day.
I'm so happy for our forensics team! even though i didn't go, we still got 5 people to qualify for state in I.E.'s, and two in Congress. I mean, that's amazing! I kind of wish i would have gone for my expos (I really could have won if i made the board I had planned out) but I just didn't think I had time. It's half giving up, half truth. Anyway, it looks like they had a good time and we better sweep State with those people. Woohoo.
I'm getting over the fact that I didn't get into UCLA...the only reason I would go there was because of the name. I mean, they are UCLA, after all...but hey, owell. I'm going to go go CSUN and become the musician I want to be and be successful. I got into UCSD, UCR, and Redlands...(They're giving me 34K out of the 39K I have to pay to go there...I wonder how much CSUN will be?) But CSUN also is giving me the BM- Performance degree for violin (which you actually have to audition to get) and Mr. Ferril says that they have a lot of money for scholarships this year. And my private lessons are free (paid by state)...which is good, cuz they are at $65 a week right now. And i applied for on-campus housing at a living learning community for Music majors...where they have practice rooms and recording studios and trips to LA and stuff...it sounds like fun. So the college trip is pretty much over...just figuring out the details.
I also got my acceptance letter from Interlochen today...I wasn't an Emerson Scholar (meaning i go for free) I recognized a name or two on the sheet of winners, but owell. I wasn't really expecting it anyway. No one else is going back, and it won't be as amazing the second time...not without my cabin 7 loves. so i'll be home this summer, working my butt off and hopefully having some fun.
Tomorrow I'm going on a field trip with Kanegai and other art peoples to LA to take pics (which i can now since i bought myself a nice little kodak digital camera yesterday, it's black and cute and i like it. finally i can take all those pics i want to.)
I got a B on my Gov with with NO studying. Woohoo. I got a D on my math test with no studying. woo...hoo..?
Scott (bless the boy) took me to go see the CSUN Symphony (the orch i hopefully will get in to next year) on Sat at the Alex. That theater is gorgeous, let me tell you. That, and the violin section is about 7 people strong in both the 1sts and seconds...meaning a total of like 15 violins. That's how many violins are in the FIRST violin section in the Phil! Talk about pressure. Speaking of which, the piece we got for Phil (Kodaly: Dances of Galanta) is harder than the Mahler we played last year. It's insanely hard. I mean, we were laughing at rehearsal last night because we all knew this was insanely hard. My stand partner and I were like..."damn...now we have to practice."
Moorpark's ok...I'm not having fun but i'm not hating it like last concert. Sigh, this is the last one.
I love my new teacher...he's amazing. He's scored over 500 movies! That's what my dream job is. studio musician. man. And he owns really expensive violins...like the one strad he's got i'm sure is worth over 1 Mil. Sigh. I feel like i've improved just while being with him...for like a month and a week...I'm so happy he's even taken me on. That, and since when I go to CSUN he'll be my teacher I'll get so much better! And then when I'm famous you'll all finally come to my shows. Hehe.
My bank account sucks. It like...has money disappear and doesn't take into account my deposits. I'm switching banks soon cuz this is so stupid.
It was so funny last friday...it was the last day of Shamrock Shakes at work (as well as some of you know) and we ran out of mix earlier in the day, so you know what Arnulfo did? He went and bought mint extract and green dye and TADA we have Shakes again. Hehehe. That place I swear...so interesting.
Our movie is slowly coming to a close...It's due on Thursday but we still have quite a lot to do...and we're all stressing. I'm trying to be civil but I find myself being mean to people (like Tina) because I get so bleh...I don't mean to, really, but I just can't help it sometimes. I hope when this is all done I can swallow my stupid pride and just apologize. Or else she'll end up hating me like Tyler...if indeed Tina can hate at all. She's too sweet.
Anyway...i say that assuming no one (including Tina) will read this far. If they do...then...well, I don't know. I'll get to it in person eventually.
I got to talk to Robert the other day! My distant friend back from the times of Steve visiting my family. He's so cool. Well, I guess he is, from what i've talked to him over the past couple years.
And I miss my Interlochen friends. Sam is coming out to SO CAL this summer and im REALLY excited! I get to see her and thats oh so amazing. ^_^
And Im taking Scottie to Vegas for his 18th Bday...that is, if my bank account stops acting retarded...my mom and his parents already agreed and it's set...I'm taking him to see Ave Q. oh, it will be so much fun. And it looks like he'll go with me to San Fran for Spring Break...well, I'll go with my fam, and he with Daniel (Ill finally get to meet this kid) and we'll hang out in one of my favorite cities. I'm really excited!
I'm playing the Viola in the Chamber group with david. It's hard, but I really really like it. i wish i had time to get really good at reading the clef...I was thinking about (in college) just learning a little bit of every single instrument...kinda like Mr. Schu can do. BUt that includes reading Bass and Alto clef and BLEH i dont want to . owell.
Speak of Mr. Schu the kids are doing really well...they rocked the solo recital thing last weekend...and Full Orch, Concert Band and Orch have another festival this weekend. Shit i forgot to get the times...I dont know if i can go...i have to check my work sched, and i cant miss any more days because i need the moolah. they're fun to be around, though sometimes i wish i could just not go because i have so much to do..but i go anyway. and get really good at freecell and minesweeper. on the band days, of course.
Is that all? Hrm...I miss hanging out with Peggy (the little that we did hang out outside of school)...I eat a lot and don't exercise...i love TV!!! hehe. it's my baine right now. does that makes sense? it's my downfall. now you get it.
I don't really have anything else to talk about...was that enough? I'm going to go do something...i dont know what...before I go to lesson and then to go film.
later, gaters
