I am not annoying at all. In fact most people come to me for advice. Of course they annoy the hell out of me. But what can I do? I am smarter than most people.

So I sprained my ankle in Reno....

...And the picture refuses to load.

More on that later. I just wanted to inform the public that I am still alive!

Like a Puzzle

Here is an update on happenings so far...

*Dr. A seemed pleased with my jury, and Sorenson put into words what I have been feeling this whole time I have played trombone.

*Finishing my abstract for Dr. Westbrook...as we speak!

*Trumpet test tomorrow!

*Getting a "B" in clarinet lessons, but I learned so much!

*PSYC 308 test not as bad as I thought, which means I probably failed. :)

*My PSYC final..... tomorrow

*Finished registering!!!!

*Microteaching went awesome!

*And practice, practice, practice....over the break break break!

I'm "hopped" up on Vault right now, but I think it's 50% mental and 50% the nap I took earlier that is keeping me "alert."

Hoop Troop (growing a pair) tomorrow to show Reneau how pathetic looking and sounding sixteen people in Reno will be without the woodies.

I think I am officially burned out on Old Mexico, and officially procrastinating!

A Time For Stress

2006-02-20T00:25:00.000-08:00

So here I am . Wasting my precious time on this blog. I know I should be doing other things, but I have no clue even where to start!

*I have to somehow aquire a flute/saxophone and be "proficient" in it by the end of the week.

*I have to prove myself to Dr. A so I don't get a bad grade in my lessons. All we have done this quarter is sight-read in my lesson. I suck at sight-reading, so all of my lessons have sucked. Not to mention that whenever I have an actual lesson that isn't 100% sight-reading, it's cut short or scheduled at another time that he goes M.I.A. for.

*Finish my abstract for Dr. Westbrook

*Refresh my memory on trumpet

*Practice for my last clarinet lesson (in which I was shown the chromatic scale and have to do it perfectly on Tuesday)

*Kick glutes on my jury

*Study for my PSYC 308 test on Tuesday, which is not as important as...

*My PSYC 308 cumulative FINAL on Thursday (worth 50% of my final grade)

*Get sleep and food so I can at least function like a human being

*Finish registering which can't happen unless I get an....

*Open seat in a classes that are already full

*Score study

*Microteaching

*And practice, practice, practice....

This list was more for me than for anything else. I am worn down to the nubs, missed a "great" party, missed the opportunity to kill someone who could've possibly hurt a friend of mine at the "great" party, and I need a good night's sleep.

I will pull through this.... I just wonder how....

Hell Weekend=Over

2006-02-06T15:35:00.000-08:00

Ark-La-Tex is over. I finally have caught up on sleep as of 4:30 this afternoon.

Dr. A is in Costa Rica (?) so I will not have lessons or low brass this week. Finally! A while to let my lips rest is finally here!

SAI meeting tonight, and I almost forgot about it. Sometimes I feel like a silly president.
My computere is wigging out right now, so I will have to cut this short. Laer!

Wrong Again!

2006-02-01T16:02:00.000-08:00

I wasn't nocturnal last night. I passed out around ten and slept until 7. Dr. Barker cancelled class until 2/15 so no more 8am's anymore. Well, till then, at least.

Lesson didn't go so well today, but when does it ever? I also practiced clarinet for half an hour and I have come to realize that I stink at it.

Later tonight will be the MIT meeting and then a formal SAI meeting.

I am learning so much and also learning that I need to learn so much more in my MUPD 466 class.

Until next time!

A Break

2006-01-31T19:13:00.000-08:00

I thought I did well today at RHS. I stayed up quite late last night, or this morning, writing my horrible lesson plan.

I felt very weird today after that, so I took a nap... until 2:45pm. I will probably be nocturnal tonight because of that.

Tried out the new Tex-Mex place in Ruston (El Jarrito) and was dissappointed with the salsa, but I think the food was even better than Old Mexico. The sopapilla with ice cream (and yes, I do eat cherry stems) was VERY tasty!

Other than that, Ark-La-Tex is fast approaching and I am nervous about the lack of sleep I will get from chaperoning.

Formal Sigma Alpha Iota meeting tomorrow night and I am playing a clarinet duet with Danielle. I will really miss her tall self next quarter.

I'm getting sleepy, so I guess that is all for today!

Piano Trio

2006-01-30T19:54:00.000-08:00

Tonight at 7:30 marked the end of a glorious era. Dr. Sue Holder, founder of the Epsilon Kappa chapter of Sigma Alpha Iota, gave her final recital as a faculty member at Louisiana Tech University.

With all sentiments aside, tonight's performance was, in my opinion, okay. The first half of the recital featured Hayden and Schumann. After intermission, the natural trumpet joined the trio for a piece by Guiseppe Torelli. After the trumpet piece, the trio performed a piece by Turina.

As you may see, I have a passion for music. I also love to attend string concerts because Tech doesn't have a strong, but growing string program.

I must cut this short because I have homework AND I get to teach Ruston High School's band. Wish me luck!

Time For Change

2006-01-30T10:53:00.000-08:00

After my soon-to-be-year stint with Xanga, I realized the need of a blog in my life. I have to have somewhere to write my thoughts, whether they are read or not.

To introduce myself, I am a senior music education major who loves to play trombone and knit. I have a boyfriend who might as well be my husband and he shall be referred to as Elden. A hamster is what I really want right now, but my living situation (dorm) will not legally allow that.

I know this is a boring first post, but I am distracted because Doug is on TV. Don't worry. Once my creative juices get flowing, my posts will be more interesting. I promise.
