Look at me...

No, don't, really. Look at the post. I am making one. Two this week.

So yeah, I'm starting to like school more, I think, in general. I never really hated it, but I have loathed band. Band is getting better. I'm actually starting to enjoy the whole field show thing, if only because I am starting to catch on. I still don't enjoy the sweating my butt off, but it's slightly more enjoyable now.

The only class I absolutely hate now is Music Theory. It stinks. I'm bad at it. I hate it. Oh well. Woohoo, I have a whole other semester of it, but I'm gettin' that stinkin' minor.

So, voice, guitar, or piano lessons?

I really shouldn't be taking the time to post this, but oh well. I keep forgetting that I don't have to make it there by 8 tomorrow morning. It's my 10 o'clock day. I like that a lot. All school should start at 10 o'clock.

So I have to memorize this monologue by next Tuesday, to perform for my audition in my Musical Theatre class. (I'm not enjoying that one at the moment either, but it's gonna get better. We're on the history aspect now, but pretty soon we get to the vocal and movement sections.) Anyway, I think I'm gonna do one from Gypsy. It's medium in length, so it shouldn't be too bad to memorize. The other option is from Company, and it's about getting a stripper ready to go on-stage her first time... not really fitting. It's also longer, but I think I'll be okay with the short one. I only have 5 minutes, and they didn't say we had to take up all 5. I'm just dreading it, cuz I'm pretty sure I'm one of the only freshmen in the class, and I know I'm the only freshman who's not in Chamber Choir, not that I had the opportunity to audition for it though...

I know this isn't the academic blog, but there's seriously nothing else to write about right now.

I guess I could fill you all in on my car problems. Blown head-gasket, $800 someodd. That's about all I need to say. Oh, and endless quarts of oil lately. It goes to the shop on Monday. Yay, I get to drive the beasty van for a day. Hopefully my mom hasn't lost the sticker she got to put in it. I don't wanna pay no parking tickets.

I was excited today to deposit my $198. 69 of financial aid leftovers. I got an email about more financial aid though today and I'm really confused. They offered me a Presidential Scholarship, which I'm pretty sure I'm not eligible for with Honors, and my band scholarship that I've already spent or cashed, and a Stafford Loan. I don't know what's going on up there, and I'm pretty sure none of them do either. So yay, I get to go straighten this out tomorrow at some point.

This is getting really long.

I need a topic for this essay I have to write by Tuesday. I'm thinking about comparing one author's view of political authority(fear), and the Biblical "fear of God." I'm not sure what kind of compelling argument I can make about that though. I would be more of an informative thing, so I'm not sure it will work. If not, I'm gonna have to do some serious thinkin'.

I think I need glasses or something. I always get a headache when I do my homework now, and it hurt really bad to try to track the volleyball all over at the game tonight. I'm not sure though, because I can still read everything just fine. I'm just slower. I have to work harder to focus on things or something. I don't really know what is causing it. Right now I kinda feel like my eyes are collapsing into my head an bulging out at the same time. I would say sinus pressure as usual, but I haven't been having problems with that lately.

I'm going to end this now, cuz it's turned into a bunch of random things... basically me putting my many scattered thoughts into some semi-sensible form. That's a good thing, just boring for you. If you made it this far, I'm impressed, and I thank you. Ta ta for now. :)
