...to injure myself.
Tonight at Cookies with Chappie, Katie left the room for a sec, so we all ran to go hide ourselves, because we're teenage girls and that's what we do. As I was running, I stubbed my toe on the soda machine I thought nothing of it until later, when it started to swell, hurt, and when I tried to stand up, scream at me until I sat back down. So yeah. It's iced right now, and I hope I can go take a shower later.

I got my tickets to the Chamber Singers' Christmas Concert. I'm going to the same concert two nights in a row, in order to get the recital credit I desprately need.

Oh, and I'm apparently loosing my roommate at semester, which is bloody lovely.

Too emotionally wiped to do anything else, sorry.


Same warnings as ever. To quote Cleolinda "OMG DUN STEEL!!!".

So yeah.

I can't believe how close to the end of semester it is. Two and a half weeks left until I go home, hopefully still with my scholarships and my major.

It's an extremely exhausting time. Christmas holidays are so close, yet so insurmountably far away. Three finals, three juries. It's insane.

More picspam, since I'm not quite finished with my homework.



Flight



Make the Choice

I'm back, and as exhausted as ever. Almost didn't get dinner because of rehearsal, and I'm just now finished unpacking. So, since I still have stuff to do, more picspam!



Whispering Aspens



Ropes of Light


Rings of Honor

Well, it was a good game. And I'm exhausted. It was really really really tiring.

Picture of the day!

...because I'm too lazy to actually write.

My own pictures, so don't steal.

I cannot seem to get my head together enough recently to be able to post about my day, and my life, in a way that doesn't bore anyone who reads this, and a way that doesn't make me disgusted with my own writing ability.

I don't know what has happened. Don't get me wrong, life is going amazingly well for me right now, but I cannot seem to find that spark that allows me to be eloquent about, as I say in the header "the everyday, every day". I don't know if it's because of the daunting task I've set myself- that to have a blog post everyday. Maybe I've chosen quantity over quality. Maybe I'm just uninspired.

I do know that I had to give up on the NaNoWriMo, sadly. It was just too much to do on top of everything else I had- with band, music, classes, and generally not losing my mind.


So yeah. I think that after the end of this year, I will attempt to turn off the ocd side of me that really really wants to have a post every day, and attempt to post at least 5 times a week.

-k-

So yeah. I'm home for a little under a week. Time to practice like crazy. I mean, now that I only have to go downstairs to practice instead of halfway across campus, I should be a little more motivated. And my jury is on the eighth. I can totally learn this insanely hard french piece before then, right? Right?

It's nice to be home. This morning could have gone better, but the piano quiz was not nearly as much a disaster as I thought it would be. I am really nervous about those particular juries, though. I just can't seem to make the connection between my hands. But that's also what this week is for! I intend to sleep, do laundry and homework, and practice. Maybe watch a movie, and definitely eat a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner with the family. I'm really looking forward to that.

I really cannot think of anything to say besides how thankful I am to be home. It's amazing.

-k-

GOING HOME TOMORROW!

Musicianship is killing me.


This is all.


-k-

I'm so sorry, guys. Things have been so crazy lately that I haven't really had the time to do more than the everyday one-liner "I'm still alive".

This has been an interesting time. I've gone from having a hard time making myself go to class (mainly because I'd feel so horrible if I actually skipped a class. And I'm scared that if I skip, I'll miss out on important information that will mean that I fail.) to being excited for Monday (Monday!).

This past week has been insane. Monday was BUGWB, Tuesday was Woodwind Hour (in which I played), Wednesday was my lesson then BUGWB, Thursday was not only registration but Wind Ensemble auditions and then Friday was the day we found out results. Yesterday was the a&m game and I finally got to see Em, whom I haven't seen in almost two years. We lost, and fairly abysmally too, but seeing Em made up for it. It's not like I go here for the football, anyway. I'm just here for the music.

Speaking of the music, I'm still a little bit in shock over Wind Ensemble. I go to get the music for it tomorrow, and I'm excited to see what I'll be playing. No matter what, I know it'll be good. I hope that I get to play piccolo at some point, but we'll see. Whatever happens, God is in charge, so it's all good.

Today was good, too. I got my theory homework done, and I got to hang out wit Kevin and Jill for all of the afternoon, so I'm pretty happy. We might go to Katie's Custard after they finish whatever studying they're doing. I have theory and maths tomorrow, and I'm not going to chapel so I can go to Mccrary and get my music and my Wind Ensemble music.

I'm really excited. This next semester looks good. I think I'll post the schedule tomorrow, mainly because I have more stuff to do tonight.

Right now, I've got a theory quiz to study for, so....

-k-

but I can't stop obsessing over having one each day.


We lost.

But, I got to see Em.

So it evens out.

-k-

Today was...amazing.


I made Wind Ensemble. I did it. I still can't believe it. This Monday, I go pick up my music, and then I'll be going to rehearsal starting the 30th.

It's amazing.

Other than that, the rest of the day was also good. I'm feeling pretty confidant about the maths test, and the concert two Mondays from now should be good.

Tomorrow is the a&m game. I really hope I get to see Em. I haven't seen her for what, two years?


I really need to go to sleep so that I won't be dead on the trip tomorrow, though I could sleep on the bus.

-k-

Maths homework ate my night, and I was up way too early this morning. I did manage to get all my classes, and next semester looks good. The wind ensemble audition wasn't too bad, though my performance in piano was definitely...lacking.


G'night.

-k-

Because I need to go to bed so I can register in the morning. Edit later.

I'm typing this on one of the school's computers. Mine died yeasterday after it fell off my desk. So yeah. It's currently being re-loaded, so I might edit this after I'm back on a Mac. I have rediscovered my loathing for PCs.

WW Hour went well. Well, as well as it could.

Tomorrow is Wednesday, which is

Today started out decently, but then turned into a slog.

I'm fine though. Not able to blog much tonight because of religion homework and practicing that needs to happen. Of course, I'm at the point where I can't tell if I'm practicing because I need to or just because I'm nervous.

Woodwind hour performance tomorrow. I've already chewed one nail down to as far as it'll go. I'm just so nervous.

So yeah. I may or may not practice tonight, I'll probably definitetly practice tomorrow morning, and right before the WW hour, and my life is way too complicated.



-k-

...this is the entirety of the post.


Cold tomorrow, I can wear sweaters. That's good.


Not much else.

It's 11:07 as I'm typing this first sentence. I've been up since 6:30. Game Days are entirely too long.

I've been thinking. I wish I had done Courtside, and I know I'll have to carve out time to do it next year. I'm also of two minds about BUGWB. I love it and I hate it. I also can't wait for the end of next year, and, at the same time, I'm almost thinking of trying for DM. It's odd, and mostly depends on what time you ask me about it.

I think this is going to be a really short entry. I got to the stadium at 7:05 with Jenny and Katie, rehearsed, had the awesome 9:00 AM food of fajitas, then I wandered around. Call time for game was 10:45, then the game started at 11-ish. It was a...long...game. Good thing that came out of it? I got to see Devin! I haven't gotten to see him in so long, and I really miss him, and all my D'ville friends. But that's college.

We didn't lose as badly as I thought we would. Only 47-14, which is better than A&M did (love y'all, don't come kill me.). Next we play A&M, there, and I (hopefully) will get to see EM! Which will be better than awesome. It's been almost two years since I've gotten to see her.

Tomorrow looks decent, maybe. I might get to go to church, if the CL from 3 south will ever call/text me about a ride. Then, after church or after I eat lunch (well, both) it's over to the music building for a whole load of practicing. Then piano hour at 2, then rehearsal with my accompanist at 6. It'll be a busy day.

I should sleep, shouldn't it?

-k-

Tomorrow is a 6:00 AM day. I have to be ready to go at 7:00 AM, to be up at Floyd Casey at 7:30. Other than the fact that this puts my already short night at a whopping total, at the most, of 6 hours. That is, if I get to bed at 11, which I hope to.

Today was actually really good. I feel good about the last proficiency test, and I had a ton of fun in band. Second row is actually turning out to be a huge relief, what with the fact that we're not right under the director's eye. I'm loving it. BUGWB wasn't that bad, either, though that may have been because we got to leave at 5 to go to Teresita and Lauren's recital. They were so wonderful! I've only just gotten to know them, but I know I will miss them.

Part of the reason I was in such a good mood today was because I actually looked nice for once. Wearing a pink-and-black houndstooth skirt will do that. I felt so good.

I also actually went and practiced instead of sleeping during my break between theory and maths. The Wind Ensemble re-auditions are next week, supposedly Friday, and I really really hope I'm ready. I don't harbor any strong suspicion that I'll be able to make it, but I'll be nice to know that I tried my best.

Seeing how busy I'll be tomorrow, I really should go.
