05:44 pm - They like me! They really like me! I just got an e-mail from my old bass teacher in Georgia. He said that he was just notified of my scholarship!! I am excited. I thought I would be getting something, but it is nice to know. Other news: -My shoes have Kangaroos on them! -School yesterday sucked. Today was significantly better. Maybe things will improve. -All-State orchestra is next weekend. It should be an awesome concert. It will also be free. I would really appreciate it if people came. I know it is in Indianapolis and it is on a Saturday evening, but it would be nice if possible. It will be an awesome concert. Especially if I am first chair. I will post specifics sometime in the next week. Current Mood: Happy!

05:09 pm - No more paperwork!! Last night I finished my last college app. stuff! I am so relieved! I have one more audition and the I am totally done. I am having a really lazy day. I woke up at 2pm and didn't want to get out of bed. I have spent the rest of the day lounging on the couch watching reality TV. It feels good to have a meaningless day. Things have been going ok with music. I have been practicing a little bit, not enough, but I am just glad I am getting something done. In the month of January I have many big performances. String Spectacular, All-State, Butler Audition, and Solo-Ensemble. I can't wait for January to be over. I can't wait for graduation. Current Mood: Happy and Relieved

05:10 pm - I actually accomplished something! I stayed up all night last night and I got some things done! I finished my Valdosta honors college essay. I wrote Journal Entries on Gulliver's Travels. I did a detailed prewite for an in class writing. The in class writing will be my Butler essay. I took notes on the Euro section. I started my DBQ, and I am finishing it now. The only thing I will have to do over break is editing my in class essay before I submit it. I feel relieved. *does a little dance* I stayed home today because I went to bed at 5:30am and woke up around 2:30pm. I don't think that will make my father very happy, but I feel better now then I have in a while. The guys are downstairs putting in new floors! we should have new flooring downstairs by Wednesday! Daniel: I realized that you were not paying attention to what he said, but I thought you might have noticed if you woke up and found a paper on your desk. I didn't mean to upset you. Current Mood: Cold and accomplished

11:57 pm - Sleep sounds so nice right now. -I did the Holiday Child shopping today. It was fun, but it took an hour to shop and an hour to rap. We got a decent amount of money but it would have been nice to have twice as much for each kid. -I really need to get caught up on things. Why did I sleep through my alarm two days this week? Having 3 math assignments to do at once sucks. I also have a lot of Brit Lit homework. -Miss G doesn't seem like she hates me anymore. It is good news. I was getting worried for a bit there. This week it seems like she has nothing but good things to say about me or to say to me. Always nice. -My dad got back from Germany today. He was there for 4 days for business meetings. It sounds like he fell in love with the place. He brought me back a carved bird thingy that is very cool. Maybe I can convince him to take the family to Germany next summer. It is probably the only way to get us all at the same place at the same time for an extended period of time again. It is odd to grow up. Current Mood: exhausted

05:15 pm - An Update -Holiday Child: has been really frustrating. No one is bringing in money. Don't people realize that without our help these kids don't get any Christmas. Many of the kids in orchestra will be asking for things like ipods and other expensive gifts for Christmas. I can't understand how they can justify getting so much from their families when they won't give 2 dollars for another kid to have an ok Christmas. -College: I am not sure where to go. My top two picks: Butler-Gorgeous campus , small, good school, all classes are taught by professors, fairly good orchestra, 30,000 before scholarships Georgia-Warmer then here, nice campus, easy school which would help me focus on music, not so great orchestra could have gigs on weekends where i could make 200-300 dollars a weekend and learn orchestra rep.,15,000 before scholarships They both have good bass teachers, but they are good for different reasons. It is kind of hard to explain. I think I have decided to not audition for IU. Why would I learn excerpts to audition for a school I do not want to go to? -School: I am getting really apathetic and I need to stop it. Current Mood: frustrated Current Music: Christmas Music

04:38 pm You Are From the Sun Of all your friends, you're the shining star. You're dramatic - loving attention and the spotlight. You're a totally entertainer and the life of the party. Watch out! The Sun can be stubborn, demanding, and flirty. Overall, you're a great leader and great friend. The very best! What Planet Are You From? I am not that dramatic or showy..........

03:12 pm - Studying at SOMA! To continue the tradition, I will be at SOMA at 5pm on Wednesday. Everyone should come. Yes we do get studying done, but it is up to you to make sure that you study if that is what you want to do. My life in general: -I have a book to finish, another to start and finish, a paper to write, and I have to study for a bunch of worthless finals. I am really looking forward to the end of the term. My life will get much better Friday afternoon. -My music is going pretty well. I don't get to practice as much as I should but it could be worse. I am playing two very cool pieces. I have to learn two orchestral excerpts for my IU audition and I don't really want to. My teacher gave me a copy of his CD. It was very nice of him and it is a good CD. -College applications are going ok. I have all of the fact portions done. I have to write and essay for Butler. I have to fill out an honors application for Georgia. I have to decide on the orchestral excerpts before I can send my audition applications out. -I saw Arrested Development for the first time Saturday. I actually liked it a lot. The incest was a bit too blatant, but all in all it was good. Current Mood: excited Current Music: Madrigal by Enrique Grandos performed by David Murray

06:47 pm - Update on my life I got back from Georgia on Sunday. They liked me and want to give me a music scholarship. Yay! I came back to lots of homework to do. It sucks. I am slowly getting everything done but it is a long process. I just finished getting all of my application stuff together. I haven't started filling any of it out, but only one of them requires an essay so it should be quick as soon as I start. The only one I should do now is the one for Georgia. They cannot officially offer me a scholarship until I apply. It should take all of 30 minutes, but I am lazy. The auditions at IU and Butler should be a bit different. I am nervous. I just registered to retake the SATs. I am kind of glad I decided to redo them. My first score wasn't bad, but I know I could do much better. When I was in Georgia I went out to participate in the college nightlife with one of the bass players. It seems like a fairly fun place to be. Lots of places to see live bands. He payed for everything which felt kind of weird. Current Mood: stressed

08:32 pm - Too much to do! I am getting snowed in. It seems like I can barely keep up with the day to day, and projects seem near impossible. I need to do three things to keep my sanity: sleep more, procrastinate less, and practice more. Somehow I don't see it happening. I am off to procrastinate and eat a weird milkshake. Damn you Mary Ellis! Current Mood: stressed Current Music: Mendelssohn Octet in E flat major

10:45 am - Mood swings I have been really moody lately. I will change moods like 5 times during the school day. I think it is mostly due to stress and hormones. The other day Matt said something in a joking manner, that hit a sore spot. I told him why he should stop joking about that, and I just started crying. Tyler said something moderately offensive and I told him to fuck off and went away crying. When I started crying it looked like Matt and Charles were still smirking. No one at the table has asked how I am or said sorry or anything. No one really did anything wrong, but I would think they would want to know if I am ok. I am just a bit bitter. Current Mood: moody

02:14 pm I have so much to do for school! I am glad that I stayed home on Wednesday and Thursday, I was too sick to go, but I hate making up the work. I met some of Dakota's friends from her math class, I liked them a lot. I help paint my living room, it was kind of fun. I am going to the UK this summer, YAY! Life is pretty good. Current Mood: stressed

09:11 pm I just got back from my second rehearsal in two days. It gets a bit tiering after a while. I suppose I ought to get used to it if I ever want a symphony job. I am glad that I am getting used to playing again. After a month of not playing after camp I was pretty out of practice, and I am just now getting my hands back into shape. I am still attempting to live a balanced life, but it is really hard to get everything done and have free time. I end up picking the free time way too often. I hope I figure it out soon. I have been a bit boy-crazy lately. I have been having odd thoughts about guys i see walking down the hallways. There is one guy I like, but I really don't think he would date me. And then there is another guy who I could possibly see something happening with, but he is very pure and I don't know how that would work. I have also known him for a while and I think it would be weird. Current Mood: drained

09:49 pm - Hawaii& other stuff I think that Hawaii will be awesome. Sure we will have to pay a lot more, but it will be a very memorable experience. The parents are working very hard to make this affordable for everyone. If all goes we won't have to make the last few payments. It all depends on how many people come up with ideas, and how many people are willing to help execute them. I am getting sick. I was feeling better after I drank a half gallon of water, but now I am feeling crappy again. I think I might loose my voice. I am slowly getting on top of my school work! It is a nice feeling. I am trying to figure out how I am supposed to practice, do homework, work out, and have time to relax everyday. I am slowly learning how to balance. I have been posting on Hatrack quite a bit lately. I really like the community. They are great people. Current Mood: sick
