i was in a crappy mood. and willy wonka came on. and i'm not in a crappy mood anymore.

so i thought today would be really awesome. we got that fantastic text message around 7am saying that the university was closed today... so i didn't have to go to any of my classes. i slept in until about 11:30, and just messed around on my computer and in my room. i hung out in savannah's room for a little bit, until the battery in my computer started to die. a little after this time, i started getting hungry. went to ask the friends if they wanted to go to dinner... no. "it's too cold out." "I don't feel like it." well gee thanks, guys. as opposed to you, i am trying to take advantage of my meal plan and use the meals on it. excuse the hell out of me. so, i went to dinner by myself. oh how awesome. too bad they missed the quesadillas, which are always a hit. sat by myself staring out the windows while eating. real fun. and then i headed over to krieg to practice my trumpet because i have a lesson tomorrow. well, i get up to the door, and whaddya know, it's LOCKED. so i can't even practice and i am probably going to make myself look like an idiot tomorrow. freaking minor scales.

oh. and this is really awesome too - next thursday, we are going to observe two different teachers for my music ed. class. well, we won't be able to get back until 12:30. my trumpet lesson is on thursdays from 12 to 12:45. WONDERFUL. i emailed my trumpet teacher asking if i could reschedule, because it was kind of important that i observe, and he told me he couldn't reschedule, my only option is to find another student and switch times with them, or forfeit my lesson, or not observe that day at all. SWEET. so now i get to figure this all out. just my luck. i really love my life. i actually WANT to go back to class tomorrow. not having class two days in a row is throwing me all out of wack.

i am basically annoyed and blah'ed out, per my facebook.

going to find something else to do to waste my time tonight, since nobody wants to do anything except just sit there and veg out.

love my life.

it's a marvelous night for a moondance, with the stars above in your eyes. ~Van Morrison, Moondance

the future ain't what it used to be.

today was much needed. we didn't have classes thanks to a "faculty retreat"; basically a day of for teachers. i slept till noon, ah it felt so good. did my laundry which was REALLY needed, seeing as i was on my last pair of socks. damn washer/dryer ate one of my socks... my favorite spongebob ones, too!! M and i went to lunch at a leisurely pace, and she took me by the kappa delta house since she is now with that whole gang. went to krieg to practice, finally, i was getting really lazy about that. at my lesson on thursday i have to get some minor scales, ohgod. natural minor isn't that bad... it's only until you get into harmonic and melodic that my brain implodes. we had sectionals in band tonight - dr. jones wasn't even there, so one of the junior music ed. majors, ben, led us. not that i don't appreciate the time, but we didn't get that much done. i mean, we practiced the russian piece for 45 minutes. and i play trumpet (as opposed to cornet) which is a more soloistic part, and it's only me and one other person on it. well, let's just say that the two movements we practiced tonight weren't all that difficult for daniel and me. i mean, whatever. no big deal. have been working on music theory for a bit now, and cursing the gods of sightsinging and Dr. K.

it's snowing! i can hear it against my window. people are really hoping for a nasty storm. maybe it will be hell to get to school tomorrow and all the teachers will cancel! i can just see Dr. K on his silly bike trying to ride down alumni way.... *flail*.

random thought - i really like my name.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kali
it kind of defines me in a way. my parents picked it because it means "eternal energy". and also the hindu goddess of creation and destruction... but i am not quite that ruthless.

i actually found a band from st. louis named the same.

coolio.

lalala. i would really like some macaroni and cheese right now. or some toast.
that is all.

almost forgot to do this today...

wrote a poem in my religion class last week in the back of my notebook.



Voices echo off the shining street below.
My pillow beckons, but I cannot go.
Wonders of the world play from my fingertips
and my power is drainingly addictive.

The thoughts within my head are racing
and shaking
while my fingers tap a simple message.

The cold type freezes onscreen
unable to take back, unable to erase.
The question, the answer, the three words
the past and the present all together in one.
It's too late now, my heart is pouring out
like water from a bucket
faster, thicker, can't stop, pouring drop by drop
into on giant waterfall - -

god help you if you can't read my words,
heaven help you if you don't listen to me now.




i don't think i quite captured what i wanted to in the last stanza, because i am crap at wrapping poems up. and i don't have a title.
