ooookay. so i don't know why i always forget about this damn blog!! i always want to write but for some reason it doesn't occur to me to sign on to blogger.
anyway... it's been 18 days since i last wrote and jeezum crow a lot of stuff has happened. let me see if i can remember...
well the weekend of the symphony (my last post), S. decided to move out of her room in Tower and move into my dorm. hooray! i could tell that the whole situation was causing her tons of stress, and so she finally decided to move. she's now living on the 5th floor of the same building as me! it's so awesome. though we had to carry all her crap up five floors with no elevator. ironically enough, unfortunately we haven't gotten to see each other a lot because we're both so busy. mehhh. also that week we had a housing meeting for next year. i'm going to try really hard to get an apartment/house off campus. if i get the few scholarships i have lined up, things will be sooo much easier. i also helped with this thing called the academic showcase, where basically seniors in high school come visit campus and if they're interested in a particular department, they can come to the building and talk to a prof and some majors. so i was there being a big bad sophomore in college, haha. we talked to 5 people i think, which was more than dr. k was expecting, so that's cool.
so last week was crazy. we got new music in band, so we were doing a lot of sightreading. i'm really excited for this concert; it's in bell fontaine and it's a ticketed event to raise money for the restoration of this theater. good way to get some publicity and a place to play! last wednesday i watched my first Indian film - Raja Hindustani. it was ridiculous. Indian films are like, a really big deal. this one tried to cram in every movie plot line imaginable - inlaws, forbidden love, fight scenes, stealing babies, machetes, singing and dancing... yeah it's really hard to explain. i sat there for three and a half hours going WTF? periodically. but we got a great meal out of it - hadn't had Indian food in a long time (actually since i went to washington d.c. in 2007).
another thing that happened over that week was the whole ordeal with Dr. W. he's working on some projects related to poverty and how that affects academic achievement in schools. he had asked me about facebook (because obviously i am a pro) and i said i'd help him if he wanted to get into that whole world. so one night he signed into facebook, and i tagged him in some pictures of fishing club (he's the advisor for fishing club, i'm the vice president, i know it's really random, don't ask). and i sent him an e-mail just joking that he actually signed into facebook, cause the last time was like in september. and he sent me back this really long e-mail about how he was a private person and didn't know what to do when things popped up on his page. and then i felt awful. i read that e-mail and i almost freaking cried. so naturally i apologized, cause i do stupid things and don't think. and i didn't get a response. like, NOTHING for a week. and every day i would check my mail and just feel shittier and shittier. so finally i got the guts to e-mail him again and apologize again. i didn't know if i had crossed some line or really alienated him or something. and he wrote back saying that he was just really busy, not ignoring me on purpose. thank GOD. we decided to meet up this past sunday, and basically it was facebook 101 in an hour. and he did the sweetest thing - he brought in a slice of cheesecake he made sunday night and gave it to me monday. totally made my week.
oh and another thing that i recently found out about through some strategic facebook creeping... one of my ex's is now a father. that's right, ladies and gentlemen, jake is a daddy. uh huh. YEAH. wow. that makes almost a dozen people i went to school with that have children. wth?? i feel so behind the times, i don't even have a boy interest at the moment and yet all these people are making babies and families! crazy.
thank god this is my last week... i'm going home saturday morning for spring break. there are only a few things i need/want to do: get a new phone, teach with dougie b, practice trumpet, relax and get some reading done. it will be so nice to not have to be going all out from 9am to 10pm.
speaking of, i just have to say that i hate being the music department's slave sometimes. i sat in the library for an hour today because a professor wanted a tape converted to a dvd. and monday night when i was walking down the hallway of the professor's offices, my name was called by no less than three of them to ask me questions. i suppose it will pay off, but right now i've got a paycheck and that's about it. i'm not complaining on that part, cause it's almost $400 in my account for this month.
so all i have to do is take a midterm tomorrow in my vocal pedagogy class, go to instrumental music, stats, pack, and go home saturday morning. YESSSS. unfortunately all my friends from home will still be in school, so hopefully i'll get to hang out with them at some point. hey, more time to spend with mr. b!
yes, this is a ridiculously long post. again, i am really trying to write more...! i have a poem i'm working on, maybe i'll get it up here sometime.
k bai.
