Music is such an incredible thing. It’s what keeps me going throughout the whole day--in jazz, classical, choral, barbershop, rock, anything and everything that sounds amazing. I feel like when I’m living this life that music is what I am here for. It’s what I’ll love no matter what. I find it hard to explain without sounding crazy, but it all is ( Read more... )

--> First day of classes back from Spring break in my junior year of high school. I had a great day and it was great to see everyone again. A few things I've learned about myself:

• I am in love with Dr. Pepper
• Cream cheese bagels are like heaven
• Piano is my favorite thing in the whole world, and that's a fact
• I have a strange and unusually ( Read more... )

Yesterday, the 31st of March, (basically today, but still), was the official CERTIFICATE OF MERIT testing for the Delta Branch in California. It was a pretty intense undertaking, but I for one think I did really well, which is awesome. I had to complete the following:

• an extensive written exam (level 7)
• ear training (part of the exam, only 10% of ( Read more... )

What a glorious morning! It is sunny, the temperature is crisp, and I am in no rush to go to school because there is no jazz band today. Tech week has been going okay, but it is obviously very tiring. I was hurriedly finishing a math project yesterday, and on top of that I have a few homework assignments to still complete ( Read more... )

It has been almost a month since I wrote my last public entry. I guess I have finally realized after over three years of LiveJournal I won't be updating three times a day any more. I can hardly even write a private/friends entry each week. I just don't have much to say anymore. Either that or I am just becoming much more in tune with my real life ( Read more... )

Yes, of course, the first day back to school from break, a joyous and delightful experience. Actually, it was so much better than I would have expected. I finally got my classes straightened out and it is pretty much amazing. I had an absolute blast today and this must just be more of the great things 2007 has in store for me. First, I must do a ( Read more... )

Hey there, everyone! How was your first day of 2007? Mine was fantastic-a great way to start off the New Year ( Read more... )

Fröhliche Weihnachten und ein glückliches Neues Jahr!

( Merry Christmas in German!)
That's pretty much it. I was going to post this about ten hours ago but I never got around to it. What I've accomplished since then:

All right, so it's practically the middle of the night, but I finally have a handle on some things. I've shaved (a thing I've been without for the past few days), cleaned my room to a substantial level, practiced piano about two hours--which is satisfactory, had some "me" time at home and on the computer, and spent the day with my three best ( Read more... )

Good evening, folks ( Read more... )
