long time no write
Wow. I suck! I’ve honestly been meaning to write I swear… I’ll be surprised if anyone reads this anymore. Probably better that way. =D I’ve just been ridiculously busy as usual. As soon as school started up and I recovered from wisdom teeth death my typical busy schedule filled up fast as ever.
School has been very good this year so far. I like all my classes (well as much as I can possibly like them) and I’m doing really well this year. It looks like I might even be doing better than last year. I ended up getting a B+ on the midterm for the only class that I was really worried about doing poorly in so I’m really happy about that. Haven’t taken any other midterms yet, but that was the only one I was stressing over. Music Ed/Bass stuff is going great. I got my own upright bass over the summer and I love it to death. I’m in orchestra now and it’s a lot of fun, but pretty hard considering I just started. Nothin’ like taking on Beethoven’s 8th Symphony for your first orchestral piece. But I really enjoy it.. becuase I’m a huge nerd. (:
While school keeps me busy, the band keeps me a million times busier but things are going great. We had our CD release show in September and 216 people came out. It was amazing! I never thought we’d be able to almost pack the Ottobar. Besides that we’ve been playing a lot of shows on the weekend, especially out of state ones. We really want to get our name out and try to get rid of the 2000 CDs we pressed before we record again next fall. We’ve also gotten the chance to play some really cool shows, including one last weekend at the Black Cat with Rainer Maria and Denali. Another tour is in the works for January, and this time we’ll be traveling with our friends Second Saturday.
So overall everything is pretty good lately. I really don’t have much to complain about (although I’m sure I’ll find something soon enough hehe). I’m dating a nice guy, school isn’t too stressful, the band is going great… Yay. (:
