All of the music groups I'll be in this semester include: Pep Band, Big Band, and Orchestra. It's gonna be a lot of fun. All of my fellow boners from last year are still in it, so we're gonna have a good 'ol time. I haven't forgotten how to play of course. I'm still considered a Trombone God by all (or at least in my own little world). My goal is to be the best trombone player at the College of Charleston...with enough practice, I'm sure that can be arranged. I'm already the best rhythmic-wise, all I need to work on is my range as usual. No biggie.
The only thing about my roommate that semi-annoys me is how he takes naps during the day. That being the exception, I couldn't have picked a better roommate (partly because anyone who was better were unknown to me). As far as the basics are concerned (favorite type of music, favorite shows, etc), we're pretty much the same. When you get down and gritty, you'll find that there's more contradiction (Nintendo vs. PS2, PC vs. Mac, Smoking vs. Non-Smoking, Excessive Talker vs. Conservative Talker, Spider-Man vs. Green Lantern, Stay-up-late/Sleep-late vs. Stay-up-late/Sleep-sporadically-throughout-day, Studying Japanese vs. Studying Latin, DDR-lover vs. DDR-hater(?) ...I can go on and on). We share the same morality, yet act differently in any given scenario. I'm sure we would make a good scientific study one day. I'm talking to lots of people, more than usual. Overall, my mood is a lot less depressed and more flamboyant. I'm avoiding any extra attention from people like usual, but I'll always be like that. I feel like I'm an easier person to talk to. I haven't been walking around campus with my headphones on - I'm not blocking the world out, I'm beginning to embrace it. It made me feel so anti-everything when I would walk around the campus wearing headphones. I look around, and I'm noticing that not a lot of people do that. My year has started off to a great start - I hope it'll stay like that. Classes are easy. Japanese is easy. Everything. I'm a happier person in the long run. Is that a change for a good? Who knows. I know that I'm not as gullible as last year. I finally feel as if I've got an adequate amount of common sense. Hopefully, it'll stay like that. Really, the only bad thing to happen is that I think I lost my mailbox key. I might be able to find it...who knows. I orders Microsoft Word and Finale 2003/2004; it cost me about $400 total (it would have normally cost me about $800, but I got a huge student discount). Yesterday I bought Desperado - it's officially my favorite action movie (of course all the Matrix movies are on top, but you know what I mean). Well, I've got Pep Band rehearsal at 5PM. Now that I'm in a new dorm called McConnell, it takes an extra 5 minutes to get from place to place (by foot). That a lot compared to when I was living in College Lodge (under 1 minute for the most part). Later. ¶4:52 PM e-mail me (0) comments (0) commentsBack To Blog top September 2002 / October 2002 / November 2002 / December 2002 / January 2003 / February 2003 / March 2003 / April 2003 / May 2003 / June 2003 / July 2003 / August 2003 / September 2003 / October 2003 / November 2003 / December 2003 / January 2004 / February 2004 / March 2004 / April 2004 / May 2004 / June 2004 / July 2004 / August 2004 / September 2004 / October 2004 / November 2004 / December 2004 / January 2005 / February 2005 / March 2005 / April 2005 / May 2005 / June 2005 / July 2005 / August 2005 / September 2005 / October 2005 / November 2005 / December 2005 / January 2006 / February 2006 / March 2006 / April 2006 / May 2006 / August 2006 / October 2006 / December 2006 / April 2007 / August 2007 / September 2007 / November 2007 / January 2008 / February 2008 / March 2008 / April 2008 /
