playing catch up

Lets see...last night I went to a lan party at Mozart where I played counter-strike for about 2 hours, then I came back to Bruce and played Relationship Jeapardy for a while, then I saw Masato.

They are so freakin awesome. They did a cover of the Goust Busters theme, Mr. Roboto and Big Bottom. What a bunch of nuts man. And may i just add, Kent is such a bad ass on drums. Good lord I wish i could play like that.

Afterwards, I came back and watched Friends in the lobby until about 1 when I decided to go to bed. Unfortunitly I couldn't because the secret word was writen on the door, so I went back to the lobby where I got asked by Desiree, to go out to eat with some people. I didn't have any money but she said she'd cover me so i was like, hey free food. We went to this little coffee house called like AT or TA or something like that. It was pretty good. While we were sitting there me and Desi kinda played "catch up" on the last 8 months or so. It was interesting to hear how her life had been since I hadn't been apart of it in so long. She was also curious to hear how my family situation had turned out, so I filled her in as best as I could.

Its interesting to think about how she was and try to compare that with how she is now. Theres not really any difference that I can see other than shes a year older now. And its weird because its as though we had never stoped being friends for so long. We just kinda kid around and play along just like we use to before we went out. Well, anywayz, thats all i got.

Communications

I decided to major in Communications with a minor in music theory. Im still gonna teach probably, but I'll be teaching speech and debate instead of music. And who knows maybe I'll still end up teaching music one day.

Me, and both Travis' are gonna practice today. I hope we sound good for bruce jam. Its the 4th time I've been in it and we get better every time. We actualy have a full band and a great time slot. So lets up for the best.

I hope Brittnay feels better eventualy. She seems really sick and cant sleep cuz of her roommate. I went to draw a picture on her board last night as a get well soon type of surprise, but she was sitting out side on the phone when I got up there. But since she lives on the 4th floor and I didn't feel like walking back up there later. I went a head and did it anywayz with her sitting there. I must say it was a good piece of work for only having 4 colors to work with.

I seem to be hanging around the lobby alot the past few days. Maybe thats because I know I dont have to practice nearly as much as I use to. Mr. Ford said I only have to play my jury peices and not my barriers, so thats freakin awesome. Ive actualy started talking to Desi too. She even walked me to my room last night. Its kinda good to be able to talk to her again and not have to have the akwardness of it all. I know what some of my guy friends are thinking, "oh shit...what the hell is going on?" Dont worry, Im not trying to get back with her, Im just tired of this not speaking thing. If shes gonna hang around here and if my friends are her friends, well we might as well learn to live with each other at least.

Its been fun....

Well, I got fired today from working desk. Turns out those RAs who use to find me half way awake eventualy ratted me out. I knew it might happen, but man it really sucks. And wouldn't you know, they couldn't wait untill after thanksgiving so i could make as much money as i could. FUCK!!!! As if my life wasn't hard enough all ready, now I dont even get to have a job on campus. How the hell am I suppose to support my self or my family with no job? This couldn't have happend at a worse time. Im changing my major, im already saying goodbye to so many friends in the music program... man this is a rough year.

Ive only got 2 good things to look forward to now, band banquet and getting the fuck outta here.

A new major??

Ive been thinking for a while now about changing my major. Right now Im music education, but i dont know if this is for me anymore. I just cant take music being forced upon me. Even if it was for something like teaching, It would still feel pushed onto me. I know I want to do something with music, but im not sure what. I know i could finish with my music ed degree, but do i want to go through 5 years of college only to burn out later on after ive got a job teaching somewhere? I dont know, ill finish this semester out and then talk it over with my advisor and family and friends and see what happens.

If you have any idea what you think I should do, or just an idea on how to decide what i should do, please post a comment.

Oh yea, check out my new picture. For those of you who dont know what it is, its the Metallica ninja star. Rock on
