(PS I love that title. It makes me think that its a movie title or something... ok I'm weird. Never mind.)
The new school semester starts today. I've already been to one class at 7:45 AM. I was surprisingly awake when I got up this morning, but I don't think it'll last long, especially when it snows and the sun doesn't come up until later in the day... I also have lots of people to talk to, but naturally we're already playing the procrastination game and writing a blog post instead of talking to them. But we'll talk about goals later.
I was writing out my schedule last night in an attempt to get my ducks in a row (I'm still missing a few of them... the ducks, I mean, although some of my classes are still up in the air), and as I was looking over it I felt as though I was missing half of them. That's when I realised I was only signed up for 15-16 credits. Whaaat? You mean I have breaks to practice and whatnot? No way! AND I can eat lunch! It's weird not taking 18 credits. Plus I don't have to take any generals (or foundations, as they call them here) for a few semesters, so I'm doing only what I want. It's SO NICE!
The only thing is that my classes are all weird. I think I mentioned this in the last post. I feel like a freshman all over again, (for the third time,) because the trumpet instructor was away finishing his doctor in trumpet performance, and so the guy they had in place of him did the auditions for ensembles differently. (A LOT differently.) So I can't even register for ensembles because I don't know which ones I'll be in. I can hope, but with an actual audition, you never know what might happen... So if I make Symphony Orchestra then I have to drop a class and take it another semester. There's also another class that is the same as another class I took at college before I transferred here, so I have to go to this class today and hope that I'll never have to go again because... well, I already took it! PLUS there's a class that I can test out of part of, (piano proficiency,) but they're changing the course starting this semester so I don't have a clue what's going on anymore!
So my semester is starting off SO NUTTY! People want to know what my schedule is but I don't even know it! I don't mean to complain... My thoughts are just everywhere... But I think (I hope) that everything will be worked out by 5:30 today. Crossing my fingers.
Don't worry, I'll find something more interesting to post next time. Unless the music department eats me alive. Then there'll be a few problems with writing a blog post.
Also, since September 11th was yesterday, some of my friends have been posting via facebook or blogs what they remember about that day 10 years ago. I thought about posting yesterday, but I'm trying to keep from posting blogs on Sundays so I can spend time with my husband and at church (although with his new calling, I have time to post...) But anyways, all I remember is that I think I was in the 3 or 4 grade... and I remember being on the playground before school started and kids were talking about it. I think we watched some of it on TV, and they kept saying that lots of people were dying. I don't remember watching the towers fall, maybe because we only saw news stuff every so often and not continuously. But I remember seeing one down and the smoke coming out of the other, on TV... I remember it but not well. I didn't really understand at the time what exactly was happening, I don't think. I'm glad I was aware of it, though.
If you want to read a beautiful post about it from one of my friends who was a newly-married military wife at the time of the attacks, you can go HERE. Its so personal, and touched my heart.
