monies

so it's official.... i have two jobs. i swore it would never happen, but going to europe for 10 months leaves you completely broke. technically my job at abercrombie kids, from this point forward is only gonna be one day a week and only to keep the discount, but still... on that point my saturday was filled with working at abercrombie and WATCHING THE OLYMPICS!!! I'm addicted. It's official. I just can't wait for the gymnastics. That's pretty much occupied my day today until I have to go to work at 3 :-(.

After that there is Jordi's bday pool bash at Tj's. That should be good times. I love swimming and am sad that I haven't gotten to do much of it this summer.

Apart from that include practicing, reed making, and more practicing. Geez, I have such an exciting life. Orchestra auditions are on Saturday and I have to get in some serious practice time in with the contra. yeah, that's right. Fellenbaum is making all of the bassoons audition on contra. Have I ever mentioned how much I hate contra? If not, let me do it now. I....HATE.......CONTRA......BASSOON! Well, pretty much just playing it in orchestra, but still.

Well, back to watching the olympics. woohoo, powerlifting

Back in the swing of things

So I realize I missed a lot of posting, but now I'm back in the States and am getting back into a normal schedule. Hopefully part of this schedule will be blogging regularly. Summer class ended today and none to soon. Not that I don't love World Civilization, in fact I'm quite fond of civilization, but that class was too much for me. I feel bad admitting it, but I came very close to falling asleep several times in that class.

Finishing that class made me realize something. I am one step closer to graduation and... the real world. Just so we're clear, by real world I mean I'll be moving out of TN to go to grad school. Not sure where exactly yet, but hopefully somewhere in the NE. My list of applications at this point include Yale, Harvard, Princeton, Columbia, NYU, and U of Chicago. Not really looking forward to filling out applications. It's going to feel like applying to undergrad all over again, but this time it'll be a 5-6 yr commitment rather than 4.

Now that class is over, I'll be working quite a bit in the weeks to come before fall classes start. Currently I'm working at abercrombie kids and Calhoun's on the River. Once school starts I'll mostly be at Calhoun's, but I'll probably keep one shift a week at abercrombie so that I can keep my discount, cuz let's be honest, I need new clothes.

As for right now, I'm gonna head to sleep so that I can get up in the morning and hand out PMA flyers to the band freshies.

More to come...
