mood : down
music : reggie & the full effect - thanks for staying

Lately I’ve found myself not very happy with school. I miss my close friends. I hardly see the few close-ish friends I have here. I miss you Veronica, David, and Christin. ):

I don’t know if I’ve mentioned it in previous entries, but I’ve given up on dance. It’s just not for me. I might still audition, just for kicks, but I don’t think that’s what I’ll be doing here at Towson. I don’t think I’ll ever make it anyway. If I don’t make it this 2nd time I audition, I can’t audition any more. That’s basically all I’ve been getting here.. discouragement. Nobody is encouraging me, everybody is doing their best to doubt me and prevent me from doing what I love. I just don’t understand it. So my focus has switched over to music education.. I met with the music edu secretary lady and she gave me all the info I needed.. and then she referred me to the head of the flute stuff, to get private lessons. She’ll actually be auditioning me. So I met with her yesterday, and it didn’t go so well. She was nice and I think I made a pretty good impression, but I don’t think she thinks I can make it in. She was all like “Oh you haven’t been taking lessons? Oh you haven’t been in all state? Oh you haven’t been doing solo & ensemble?” Then I told her I the all-state choir and she was like maybe you should audition for voice! So she referred me to ANOTHER lady so I’m waiting to hear from her. I’m just getting pushed around and nobody fucking cares. I’m going to be stuck at a fucking desk in a cubicle. The fact that these people are preventing me from doing what I want to do for MY CAREER, for the REST OF MY LIFE, just blows my mind.

People are really pissing me off lately too. I’m not going to name names or give examples but I’m sick of being dicked around. ):

mood : better (:

Although today started off pretty crappy, I’m actually feeling pretty decent tonight. This is a whiny post at first.. but it gets better.

I had my modern class at 10:50, which is nice and tiring, but I like it a lot. My professor complimented me after class for one of the combinations we were doing! Woo! The only thing is I didn’t eat before class.. so I hardly had any energy..

After class I went to lunch.. then off to ballet class. Ballet is really difficult and even more tiring than modern. After that class I was about dead.. but no time to be dead! I had to go right to my English class. So I hurried to that class to find that our classroom was moved to the building on the complete opposite side of campus. I managed to finally get to the building without passing out (by then I was exausted/overheated), only to find that I forgot the classroom number. I proceeded to walk around the building looking into everyroom.. I finally gave up and sat down in the hall. I was two seconds from having a nervous breakdown. =D But after a few minutes I got up again.. and finally found the class. The professor wasn’t mad or anything thankfully. However I did get a 7/10 on my homework from the other night. Grr. (: So finally I got to relax for a couple hours.

At 7:00, Eileen and I went to the first Choral Society meeting. It was fun.. haven’t been in a choir since madrigals and such. I really miss madrigals the most out of all my classes during high school. I miss Mr. Lawrence too - he was the best.

Eileen is really cool - she lives down the hall from me. I actually know her from the All-State Women’s Choir! Crazy huh? During move-in I was wandering around meeting people on our floor and I ran into her.. we were like.. “wait a second! I know you!” So yeah, she’s a cool chica.

So Choral Society was pretty cool.. and then randomly almost all the people on our floor decided to go hang out in the hallway together. It was fun finally hanging out with some of the other people on the floor.

Speaking of other people.. another one of my new friends on the floor is Tim. He’s a music education major - hopefully I’ll be joining him there soon. But anyways.. him and his friends are starting a ska band! And they’re going to let me sing for them! How cool is that? I’m really really excited about it.. we practiced last Saturday and they already started writing a song. They’re all music majors too, so they’re good. (:

I practiced with KG on Sunday. It was fun - they’re really nice people. We’re already playing shows on Thursday and Friday. I’m not really sure if I’m gonna be able to stay with them or not cuz I don’t know if I’m going to be able to handle playing shows like every week like they’re talking about doing. I want to be in a cool/sucessful band, but I’m having enough problems adjusting to school as it is. But for now I’m gonna help ‘em out and have fun playing with them. So if you’re bored.. we’re playing Hal Daddy’s on Thursday night, and Fletcher’s on Friday night. (:

The one thing I haven’t been today is bummed out or pouty about boys.. Woo hoo!

So other than being a little stressed out and tired, things are starting to look up. I’m getting tired of listening to myself whine in these posts, so hopefully they’ll get better soon. (:

… Also … Gretchen is right (she added a comment for my last post). If I didn’t have any of my old friends here at Towson I would’ve had a freak attack. Although it’s weird getting situated and comfortable here, I still have a lot of friends around me so it’s not as bad as it could be. *chin up* (:

mood : bored
music : Goldfinger - January

I can’t believe how incredibly bored I’ve been here at school. It’s starting to get pretty sad. I’ve been sitting around my dorm since 4.. it’s now 8.. on a Friday night. It doesn’t really help that I’m in a funk I suppose. I’ve been pouty and sad lately so I haven’t really felt like doing anything. But I’d still like to do something fun though, damn it. It’d be nice if I had my car..

The past few days I’ve been trying to understand how you can spend a long time with somebody.. and then never ever see them again. So many memories are made, so many fun times are had, and so much meaning comes from it.. but then suddenly you can’t even get the time of day from that person.

Do you think it’s worth getting that close to somebody? It all just ends up hurting somehow in the end.. I was discussing this with a friend and they said.. that if you were happy and had fun times, then it’s worth it. I suppose I’m just little bit hurt right now, and I’m all dramatically asking this question.. So I’ll let you know when I don’t have a biased opinion. (:

mood : lonely
music : Sublime - Boss DJ

College life is great.. so much free time. So much freedom too! I love being on my own, it’s great. The only thing I don’t like is that I don’t have my car. It’s really frustrating. I went home this past weekend, and it was SO WONDERFUL to drive. Then I had to come back.. and my parents had to drive me. That dependency sucks.. I got away from that my junior year when I got my license, I don’t need it again. (:

I had a hard time dealing with scheduling crap.. I ended up dropping two classes, and I’ve been scrambling all week to replace them. Also I don’t know if I have the energy to become a dance education major. I found out that if I try out again, and don’t make it, I can’t try out anymore. Neat huh? I’ve been thinking about it, and I think I really want to be a music teacher. I love music so much more.. it comes so much more easily to me. I emailed the chair of music edu today for information on the program, so we’ll see what happens with that. Stupid school. (:

I’ve met a few cool people here.. still waiting for that sexy guy to come and sweep me off my feet. =D *sigh*

So I’ve been to a whole lot of local shows this weekend. It’s still definately one of my favorite things to go out and do. Friday night I saw Hobis at The Sidebar Tavern with Veronica. It was nice hanging out with her, and seeing my local band friends I don’t see too often. Then Sunday night I went to see Tim Kaye at the Recher with Ben, Mike, and Sheila. Tim Kaye is the man. His new band is sweet. He threw me his old CD that he promised me! I felt so special. =D Monday I went to a show with Sheila again to see Stupid Hero. I had a good time - it was a gorgeous day. I felt stupid becuase I was the only one singing along.. but I can’t not sing along! I like the songs too much! (:

The band before Stupid Hero was pretty cool too. They’re called KG and they have a girl singer who plays keyboards. I was talking to her and mentioned I played bass - they’ve asked me to play with them because they need a bassist like right now. I told them I would, but it’s going to be hard since I don’t have a car. Grr.. I want my car here. ):
