okay so i'm pretty stoked! football game day after tomorrow! ahh 72,000 people, it's going to be total awesomeness and excitement. yea! well if anyone cares about my life right now it's a little crazy but not bad, definately love this college way of doing things. double-majoring is not going to be easy, but it's definately not going to kill me. singing alto in schola is HARD. this is the craziest music i've ever seen. i absolutely love it, but i definately can't really tell where the pitches are! ahh i'm going to have to lock myself in a room with a piano for like 4 days and maybe i'll learn my part. i love the director though he is uber cool and makes it more interesting. um clarinet...that's going to be hard. bah, my mouth is wrong, my fingers are wrong, my airstream is not enough. ahh right now i only have to practice for like 30 minutes. what i have to practice kinda sucks though, okay if you want to fix your embessure (i know i spelled that wrong), and your hand placement, sit in a little practice room and turn on your metronome to 60 BPM, play low E for 12 counts take a 2 count break breath for 2 counts then play a low F continue to the G on top of the staff and go back down and you're finished! make sure and keep your fingers curled and never lock your pinkies! ahh, i know that i need to fix this stuff, i want to become a better and this is what i have to do, so i'm definately willing. this takes about 9 minutes, do 3 times a day and you will correct your horrible way you stick the mouthpiece in your mouth! woohoo. i'm going to get better at the clarinet! i can do it! woohoo! took college algebra test today, modular algebra is definately intersting. but all is well! Uber excited about the football game on Saturday! watch us on ESPN! good luck to all yall involved in the football game (oh you know i'm really talking to my bandies) back home, hopefully i'll get to see yall sometime this year, when are the contests anyways, esp. OBA? coming home after the game on saturday it'll probably be like 3 or 4 in the morning when i get home but, i'll be there! see yall later! much love

so i'm in my bed right now, just chilling. so yeah i'm at college. i feel so incredibly odd, i mean i am so not used to knowing everybody, and now i know like no one. bah. it'll get better i'm sure, the band members are so incredibly nice. oh my gosh, and having a program where there like right now at least seems to be like 100 times more positive. i mean in high school band there are always people who bring down the group by their attitudes and here i've met very few. people show up on time, and are generally seeming to care, which is pretty spiffy. yeah upperclassmen are being so frickn nice. they are making things a lot easier. this morning we had practice outside, and i didn't die! woohoo! they give a lot more water breaks than they do at home. i've already drunken the equivelent of 4 water bottles today, and i'm going to have to pee again very soon! hmm. my dorm is total awesomeness! my room is huge (when compared to the other dorm rooms i've ever been in) and it's pretty comfy. my stuff totally fits easily. hmm. i don't have a tv, i don't know if i'm going to want to bring mine up or not. i think i'll bring up my guitar next time though cause like yeah i didn't think i'd play it but i think that would be good. and i need some books to read! bah i know i'm a nerd. i have no idea about the financial aspects of stuff yet, i'm going to go find out about my scholarships tomorrow. well i suppose that's about it (for now). i'm doing pretty good. love yall, later.

so yeah it's been well over a month since i've last updated. i'm so good at keeping track of things. i've just not felt compelled to write anything. the more i think about xanga just like the more repulsed i get at the whole idea. i mean, i dunno, i'm just not comfortable in the fact of displaying my emotions on a written page on the internet, where everything is wide open for everyone to see. i think xanga is a great way of keeping your friends involved on the day to day things in your life, about the normal comings and goings and what not, but i think some people have gone too far. i think this is one thing our generation has gotten wrong, yeah we have awesome technology but honestly, should we be so incredibly "connected" over this little box? it is so much simpler to vent by writing than it is by doing it in person. it allows everyone to say exactly what they want to say, and then it is so much easier to retaliate in the same way. i mean i dunno, i'm guilty of this too, cause even though i haven't posted in a while it doesn't mean that i haven't checked everyone else's sites either (nearly every day) for the scoop on all the crazy rumor and battles. i mean yeah it's good to stay connected, but taking out the responsibilities of the need of true communication is leaving us as a people with such an easy escape, and truly why wouldn't these actions render us to more easily become failures when faced by the real world, without time to think about what we should say [type] next. i dunno, i guess i have more faith in the real world. i'm simply stating that the important things in life should be done in person. so whoever reads this, i might be the only person with this sentiment, but if your a guy who wants to ask me out, ask me out in person, if your wanting to tell me some really great news call me up and tell it to me over coffee, or maybe most importantly if you become angered at me, talk to me, face to face, and not to this reading gossip-seeking world found in this box called a computer. again i say, i'm really not dissing xanga, i'm just asking people to think about what they write on here more carefully and ask themselves, is this really something i should share with the world?
