| Long time no talk! Let see, whats been going on in my life. Horn, horn, some more horn and I believe horn!! This semester was very good. I'm pretty sure i enjoyed every minute of it. Not to say I didn't have my struggles but you know.
In case your wondering, still no boyfriend. No surprise though. I'm very picky. I wish i wasn't but I am. I also realize that I'm going to be the type of person that is going to date one guy and then end up marrying him. I'm just not into fooling around with different people. Its not me. Not to mention thats the way it was for everyone in my family. They pretty much dated one guy and ended up marrying him. So i try to keep my spirits up about it. Its hard cause sometimes i want that one person that understand exactly what I'm going through and understands me. My time will come I guess. Plus, I strongly believe in the saying..if your not happy with yourself you can't expect anyone else to be happy with you. Or however it goes. ya'll get the gist. But I'm not really happy with myself as far as the way I look. I've been struggling with this my whole life as I'm sure other people do as well. So I'm trying to get comfortable in my own skin so that I am a happier person.
Well, got to be at work at 7:30 in the morning. SO I should go. Until next time... | | |
| Whats up people? So...school sucks. I hate it. I'm tired all the time and I hate people. I'm so tired of stupid people and the fact that those people think that they are god's gift to everything. It pisses me off. Plus, I would love to speak my mind to these people but I know its not nice or the right thing to do, But somebody needs too because then they are just going to continue to believe that they are God's gift. I'm getting kind of good at the horn though. Thats a positive note..No pun intended. haha. I'm retarded yes I know. I had to come home this weekend cause I was so tired of people. Not people really just life. So I came home and its been pretty good. I'm almost ready to go back. Now, don't get the wrong idea. I love this school. But its one of those schools that you just can't stay at forever and not get depressed and completely stressed out and frustrated..>So you leave for a couple days and come back good as new. K, well, I must go, Until next time. | | |
| Soooo....Its been awhile. Lets see. I am back at school. I can already tell that this year is going to be hell. 22 hours and they just keep adding. I mean, how much can one person do? Well, we have drama in the horn section this year, which sucks because thats one of the many things i love about this school. No drama. This horn girl who transferred from UNCW is the cause of it. Stupid bitch. She sucks basically but thinks shes the shit. And well, she got stuck on like 2nd or 4th horn and she went to the conductor and in front of the entire horn section said I'm going to drop this ensemble (which is her only ensemble). The conductor of course is like why, I strongly encourage you not to drop it. AND get this...she actually said...I CAN"T be strongly encouraged to play 2nd and 4th horn parts. She almost got in a fight. I mean who says shit like that. Especially at the school of the arts. You don't play around here. Her career is basically over. I mean, the teachers here are known all over the world and that isn't something you forget. I mean jolley is the best known solo artist in the world. He knows she did it too!!! I mean...jolley even told the director that she was a big bullshitter but that her playing doesn't back her up. HELLO? Shes an idiot and she needs to go back to where she came from with that attitude of hers. We don't put up with shit like that. You practice your ass off here, audition and get what you deserve. And you don't question your teachers' decision. WHAT AN IDIOT! I mean the horn studio is still in shock. She couldn't even look us in the eye when she said it too. I mean, I'm like 4th horn in the orchestra and I couldn't be happier...In wind ensemble they rotate and granted she still didn't get her beloved 1st or 3rd horn parts. People like that really baffle me. Because no matter how upset or pissed off I was about whatever part I got I would just suck it up and play and practice my ass for next semester. The thing I wish a lot of people would get in there head is, it doesn't matter what chair you get, or what part, its the fact that you are playing and your playing with a group that has very similar abilities which makes the experience amazing. Thats what college is all about. Its about getting experience on all parts so that when you get to the real world you are prepared for anything that will be thrown at you. It really does baffle me, when people get so wrapped up in chairs and parts, when they are there to play and should just be happy with that. I mean, its what you love to do but yet you argue because you didn't get 1st or 2nd chair. I mean good god come on people. I just don't get it. Someone please enlighten me? | | |
| So I'm kind of bored and thought...why not update xanga...so here I am. I've been working a lot at Belks in ladies' shoes. Fun right? Yeah..not really. I haven't practiced much this summer either...With the exception of the beginning of the summer and then I had to pick up my horn and go play a gig last night. Lets just say it was painful to play considering I had absolutely no endurance. I must admit, I did sound pretty decent though. Surprisingly, don't know how. See, I don't really understand how I can still sound good when I haven't played in three weeks or so. I really don't. I don't practice all that much but yet I'm still able to hang in there. Its really kind of frustrating to me cause I know that if I practiced I could be really good. I just don't have any motivation. At least lately. This always stinks. I start to get good and then I stop practicing. Which makes me wonder if I'm in the right major. I mean, I love to play, I love to listen to horns but you would think that if I loved it that I would practice more. I don't know. Its just strange. Not to mention my jaw has been bothering me ever sense I fell and well, when I went to the dentist at the beginning of the summer they said they were going to need to xray it. So, I'm guessing there might be something wrong. Well, I must go feed the cats. | | |
| Sooo...I'm sitting in ECU's music library. I'm bored to say the least. I still have another 1hr and a half until I have to be at my next masterclass. I must say...this meridian arts seminar is a lot of fun! i might even come back next year. My quintet is amazing. They are all really good. AND the trombone players dad was the horn for the Phantom of the opera in NY!!! I'm in love! hahahaha. I think that is so cool. I went there last summer and saw the phantom of the opera. I wonder if his dad was playing. I'll have to scrounge up my program and see. I think that is sooo cool though. Shows just how big a dork i really am. So anyways. I'm bored | | |
