I wish I was able to write more. I suppose I am procastinating and not using my time as wisely as I should have. I really need to get on top of my work so I can stop complaining like I normally do about time. I remember watching the Rock (Dwayne Johnson) talk about Time in an interview. "If I could buy time, I would." If that was possible, I seriously would do that. Hell, if I was able to make time go longer than usual, I would. And maybe, I could fast-forward through the dreaded parts.
I can't wait until Thanksgiving Break. It's been a while since I was involved in some family gathering, but when that happens, I can't wait. I miss being with my relatives in some big room just eating and discussing life with a ton of laughter sprinkled through. Now that I'm busy at school and everyone else has their priorities as well, it is really hard to grab all my loved ones and put them all together. It seems almost impossible considering the love I have for so many people. Yet, I am thankful that they are just a phone call or a Facebook page away.
Another awesome side to a vacation is the occasional, "I'm bored" time. When that happens, I know just my fix: a book. I have 100 pages left of "Twilight" (I know, I'm bad) but that will be my priority within the next week. There are literally so many books I want to read but with my improper use of time, it's been hard to really have time to myself to read. Plus, there is so much work that I need to do, I should not put it off anymore. Considering there is a syllabus for my classes, I think I should go ahead of my classwork. That's what Prozac is doing, or so he seems, and he's being quite successful at it.
Seeing my high school's marching band this Saturday was a real treat. I was really happy that I was able to help out. It is really preparing me to be a band mom when I get older ha! But it was nice seeing my friends. Though I have to admit, there is a SHITLOAD of newbies. It's kind of scary considering for the majority of the band, I didn't know their name. Well, I'm not good with names anyways, but still. Many of my band geeks expressed how they liked last year better. Many agree it is because of the music choices our directors had chosen and also the people too. I guess they miss the Class of 09 and we miss them too! I have also been told that many people quit due to various reasons. I'm not surprised though. Last year was a great year and it is hard to really top that.
I've noticed that just today, okay, I mean yesterday, I've been practicing my cello a lot. It feels good to get my ass out of bed and just practice. Music majors have their "juries" during the week of finals where you play two contrasting pieces and you pretty much get graded on them. I am trying to work on my stage presence because I've been known to tense up depending on my audience. I really need to build up confidence because especially when I'm around people who excel in music, I'm just a bit intimidated. But hey, I'm practicing my cello and I'm working on the things I need to work on, so when finals week roll around, I'll be set. (I'm not sure how this is going to work because my jury will technically be my audition to be a music major, however. But because I am enrolled as a music major, I'm not sure if it'll be graded as well. I didn't expect to become a music major at all. It just happened by accident because I fell in love with the music department here and I am still able to purse other interests because I am in the Add-Venture program.) Hooray for being well-rounded!
It's nearly 4am and I did not even work on my Human Sexuality journals or finish up my Musicianship homework. I am already behind on both classes because I missed Thursday's class due to a breakdown. But, now I know what I must do after class because with all the amazing free time I'll be getting...
