too much snow
Wow, haven’t posted an entry in a long while. I’ve just been so busy with everything. I’ve been snowed in at different places and classes keep getting cancelled, so now my teachers are panicking to cover the material. I’m ready for spring and summer! But then again I’ve been ready since the fall..
My band finally finished recording our 5 song EP. The last night of mixing was ridiculous, I’ve been thrown off all week because of it. We went to the studio and started mixing one song at 10:30. Didn’t get finished that one until 2am… but we still had one song to go, and we needed to get it all done that night. So, we went to sleep for a few hours while our producer dude did the preliminary mixing for the last song. Three hours later he called us up, and we headed back in at 5am. I didn’t get back to school until 7 that morning. It was pretty rough, and although it was snowing, it didn’t snow enough to cancel my day classes. What can I say.. you gotta do it for the rock. =D
It looks like I might be getting an upright bass sooner than I thought. One of my professors is selling one for $2000, which is a good price if it’s in excellent condition like he says it is. My dad said he’d contact the guy and look into it. I feel so bad though, because it’s so expensive… they just bought me a new bass for Christmas ($800), they’re paying for the mastering of our CD (somewhere possibly close to $1000), and I’m going to have to get a new flute if I stay on flute as a primary instrument (ridiculously expensive). I feel like I don’t deserve it… I mean I’m not complaining, I’m really happy becuase I couldn’t handle working during school. But I feel like I haven’t worked for it. Poor Joe is saving up all of his money so he can get a new drumset, meanwhile I’m getting instruments handed to me left and right. I guess I can justify the upright and the flute becuase they’re for my school stuff, but I still feel bad. *shrug* What can ya do..
Wow… you are really spoiled. And I’m also really spoiled so you must be really really spoiled. At least you seem to have a conscience about it. As long as you can take a step outside your own life and realize how exceptional it is to get gifts like that, then you’re okay.
