b natural. c sharp.

I had a really good night. Not too bad of a day either. I went to bed really late last night (thursday) because we played a show, so getting up this morning to practice for my sight-singing exam wasn’t too cool. I think I was a half asleep through most of it becuase I can’t really remember getting up or practicing. haha.. fortunately I aced the test. I totally lucked out becuase I’m not very good at sight-singing… I only did well because he let me pick an example out of the book to do (so I guess it wasn’t really sight-singing haha.. but the solfeg is still hard, so shut up).

I also had my last flute recital probably ever at 1, which went well. I think I’ve gotten over my fear of playing the flute for people. It’s weird becuase that’s the only thing I’ve ever been really nervous with. Dance, bass, even singing never really bothered me. It was cool, even after not playing for anybody since my piccolo solo in Stars & Stripes in my last high school band concert (besides my TU audition), I didn’t shake at all, I was totally relaxed. Too bad I’m not really going to be playing it anymore haha.. So after the recital (during which I had to struggle to keep my eyes open while everyone else was playing) I promptly took a nap. I slept for a long time, and it was good, although I had some weird dreams.

We were originally planning on going to see The Faint on Thursday night, but we ended up getting the show at The Ottobar so we couldn’t really pass it up. Instead we decided to go tonight in Philly at The Trocadero, so Greg, Steve and Jamie picked me up around 7. You’ve gotta understand that I’ve been pretty sheltered, so I’ve never been pretty much anywhere without having some kind of school or parental supervision. So I was all excited to go to Philladelphia on my own (sort of).. I’ve only been there once for a school trip in like middle school. It was also really exciting because my best friend Veronica goes to Drexel, and she was able to get tickets and meet us there at the show.

The show rocked! The Trocadero is such a cool place. It’s basically a really cool old-looking theatre, I don’t know the history behind it but I imagine it was used for that. I think they show movies there still. Anyway… we missed the first opener but saw the second, Les Savy Fav. They were pretty crazy.. their singer was nuts. They had some decent songs, I’ll have to check out their recorded stuff.

So, it was my first time seeing The Faint, but I’d been introduced to their music a while ago and totally dug it. What’s better than dancey rock techno stuff? Seeing it live! It was basically just a big fun dance party, although I was sort of on the outskirts so it wasn’t as big-fun-dance-party as I’d like it to have been. Nevertheless, they rocked and the show was good. They were really tight and were fun to watch. It was totally worth driving to Philly for!

Afterwards we dropped V off at her dorm, and I got to see it and the campus for the first time. I’ve been wanting to come visit her all year so it was cool to finally get to. I got to meet a few of her floor mates and stuff. Unfortunately, I couldn’t stay becuase I wouldn’t be able to get home.. hopefully I’ll be able to visit again before she gets out (which shouldn’t be a problem becuase she’s just now doing midterms.. ha ha..)

Yay for good times. (:
