Some comments for some people to read and think about

So I've been lucky in the elementary, middle, and high schools that I have gone to. No, I never went to a brand new school, and all the equipment was poor and outdated, but the teachers were amazing. I went out briefly tonight and was talking to a few people that I don't usually get to talk to all that often, and during the course of conversation topics about life in general came up that reminded me of a quote from a high school teach whom I respect very much that I have. After some thought, I realized what I was thinking might apply to some of my friends and that they may want to read it.

"When you are 65 and looking back on your life, you will NOT remember fondly the new Abercrombie and Fitch t-shirt or the nice car you once owned. You will remember the places you visited and the dreams you pursued. That's what makes up a life." - Jeff Hyma

I thought about this for a little bit, and yes the obvious first came to mind. Be happy in whatever you do. More importantly, if you knew Mr. Hyma, you'd know that he was not talking about where money could take you because he never has had much money, but he has seen much of this continent and has many stories to tell. He traveled because he was having problems finding work and by moving around, he was able to find work. He once never talked about complaining that he was poor. He just went along for the ride because somehow he knew that everything would turn out ok in time.

So I say to my friends whom may not be enjoying what they have currently chosen to try as their profession, please do something that makes you happy (I've been thinking about if I truely want to become a professional musican anymore), but be mindful of the people around you too. Your actions have upset or possibly even hurt others, and I have had to act like the proverbial glue to let others know that you mean no harm. I want to talk to you about this, but I know of no other easy way to bring this topic up. If you think or know I am talking about you, contact me here, AIM, phone, or in person and I will gladly tell you.

Good night, and Good luck

It's only tuesday :'(

So by some miracle, I finished all of the hw for today! I don't know how that happened, but i like it. It gives me a chance to get some down time in for the week. I don't get any to myself this week since I'm in the Mozart Requiem tomorrow night. I'm looking forward to it. But since that's going on, I need to record with the carmina quartet tonight from 7-10 :'(. Oh well. I'm finding out that I'll have a lot less homework over break too! YAY!

Speaking of break, I can't wait to get going to Montana. Mostly because I want to spend the week with Kris, but you know, Nate and Binga aren't bad company either. This is why i feel like it should be further in the week. boo.

I still have made no progress on my class schedule for next semester, which is frustrating since I know of a few class conflicts that I need to resolve. I've been a procrastinator though since I haven't e-mail the profs who teach them until today. Bu you know what else is frustrating? Possible employers who don't make any progress about summer internships. I'd like to know sooner than later where I'm working this summer.

Adios Amigos!
