| It has been over a year since I've put anything on here. Amazing. Time has really flown by. I used to put all of my thoughts on here and I stopped doing that. I think its because I came to college and realized that I don't like sharing my life with other people. I don't really want people to know who I am and what my concerns are. I'm still an outgoing person, but sometimes it seems hard that I don't drink and most all of the social events here include drinking. I will not subside to the decision I have made for myself because I want to be honest to myself and be aware of my life and the people around me. I have lost just about all of my patients for people who do not take care of themselves and work hard. I used to be one of them in high school occasionally, but anymore it seems that if you make the effort you can make the grade. Excuses don't work anymore. I think that rude humor is funny sometimes and I don't mean to be rude to anyone by it, but I think I'm going to stop with it because occasionally I think people react badly to it if they don't really know me and my humor. I am usually always in a good or great mood. Not much really brings me down anymore. I'm living life and I love what I am doing. It is a ton of work, but I feel extremely bored and unproductive if I have 2 hours free to just enjoy myself when I'm here. I look forward to teaching and its sad to see a lot of my fellow students just kind of going through the motions to get through. We all want to get through, but I'm actually enjoying myself. Granted there are classes that I don't like and there are classes that I have a little trouble with. However, I put my best effort out there and have recieved grades that I am proud of. I'm looking forward to summer and getting away from this place for a while. Sometimes I wish that there were some really cool people who didn't drink that I could hang out with sometimes, but then again I don't usually have much time. I became a brother of the Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia Fraternity last quarter and most all of those guys are really cool, but a lot of them are already 21. I wear a cross necklace and a Livestrong bracelet everyday. Everyonce in a while they remind me to keep working hard and stay focused and things will work out in the end. I think thats what people forget. If you put the effort in now, it will pay off later in life. I worry about my grades a lot because I want to graduate with a 3.5 and I have a 3.456 right now. I'm not trying to brag or be egotistical because I hate egotistical people. I have never really told too many people what my gpa is because I still see room for improvement. I still love and will always love music. It is the biggest part of my life and I don't know where I would be without it. Sometimes I lose my emotions to music...when you study it everyday you tend to not listen for enjoyment, but figure out every little thing about it. I'm working on that and getting back into my Dave Matthews phase. I'm looking to go to a concert or two this summer and maybe a Jack Johnson concert as well, I'm not sure. Just like the last post, it is the last quarter of the year only this time it is my sophomore year. I can't believe it. I'm excited and at the same time worried that I won't learn everything I want to before I graduate. Sure i'll have taken the classes, but will I get around to learning the things that I want to learn....I don't know. Hopefully so, but we will have to see. Learning is a never ending process through life so I hope I have some time. Well, its time for a shower and bed. Hopefully I'll do this a little more often than annually. Maybe once a week just to get my mind thinking a little bit. Anyway, if you feel like you want to, leave a comment and tell me what you think about what I said, what you think about me or anything you feel like. Anythings goes, haha. Until next time, remember that a Neopolitan chord almost always resolves to the 5th (there are occasions where it doesn't, but normally it does.) See ya! | | |
| Welcome to the final quarter of my freshman year of college. Wow.....it is flying by. It is going to be the start of week 3 already. 2 down......7 to go. I am definately enjoying this quarter more than last because I worked my butt of last quarter practicing and studying and what not, and it payed off, because the grades were good, I wish they would have been a little better, but it happens. My saxophone prof. said that I have "drastically improved" since fall quarter, and I hope to keep that going through this quarter as well. Well, I don't know what else to say except that life is great once again and I couldn't be happier! A few of my friends down at OU and I are going to make a funny video just for kicks so i'll post a link after we put it up on youtube. Well, Happy Easter Everyone! See ya! | | |
| Ok so this past weekend wasn't very good for a few reasons that don't matter anymore. Anyway....everything is fine and going well. This quarter has gone fast and its already week 9. I can't believe it. I guess i was just tired this past weekend...I'm a little burnt out from long days and short nights. Hopefully i can even out my sleeping patterns this week and feel a little happier. I am feeling happier already so thats a good sign. I'm heading home next weekend for a little break before the last week of the quarter and then finals and a jury. Anyway, I think my last entry was a little over board, but i think we tend to make things out to more than what they really are sometimes so i appologise for that. Talk to me on aim or icq people! Later | | |

| It has been a while since I have updated again....time is flying by. Well this past weekend was pretty fun for Sibs weekend at OU. My brother came down for Saturday and Saturday night. Here's what went down...when he got here we hung out in my room for a little bit and watched some tv. Then we headed over to the Baker Center to take a look around. Next we headed uptown to the Red Brick Tavern for some dinner. The food there sucks, but we saw Zach Quillen there....actually, he was our waiter...(he plays bass in Longfellow)...anyway....then we headed over to the Athena Grand to see the movie "Smokin' Aces." A new movie with my favorite actor, Jeremy Piven. We were a little confused about the movie so we came back to my room and read some reviews so we could understand it. Then we headed uptown again and went to the Diner on Court Street for a milkshake. While we were in there 4 guys on the sidewalk decided to have a fist fight....i tried to video tape it with my phone and i shut it off just before the one dude punched the other in the face and sent him to the ground.....it was hilarious. We had seen a few of my brother's old friends uptown so we were going to hang out with them when they got back from a bar, so we went into a coffee shop and got some hot chocolate (i know what you are thinking....milkshake.....then hot chocolate....i know, just let it go). Then we just decided to come back to my room and we watched a movie on tv. All-in-all, it was a fun weekend. I don't usually get to spend time with my brother and talk to him about life in general, so it was great.
This week has been a little busy and will continue to be. Today (since its 12 somethin) I have a piano midterm and a sax lesson and then some other stuff tonight. I finished Finale project of copying the Ants Marching score for marching band....took a little while, but it looks good. Anyway, later this week is OMEA Conferences in Columbus. I'm looking forward to it, hopefully it will be a great experience. Then on Saturday....the best day of this week! Well, thats all for now....later.
Who knew that you could be so happy for an entire year! | | |
