So 4 out of 5 midterms are over...all that's left is music theory (which should be pretty easy). I did pretty well over all, I think I got all A's. go me. I also just registered for class for the spring. that's the one perk of being in the honors program - being able to register earlier than everyone else :)

This is my schedule for the spring:

Monday/Wednesday: 10:10-11:00 General Psychology, 11:15-12:05 Piano II, 12:20-1:10 Music Theory II, 2:30-3:45 Band

Tuesday/Thursday: 9:05-9:55 Ear Training II, 11:00-12:15 Brain and Behavior, 2:30-3:45 Band

Friday: 10:10-11:00 General Psychology, 12:20-1:10 Music Theory II, 1:30-2:30 Reed class

Then factor in the orchestra that I might be in, and the chamber music ensemble I'm required to be in. Stephanie will be one busy girl. yay for music majors!


Yesterday was a very nice day. it was my one year anniversary with paul. yay for boyfriends! he made me a very yummy dinner, I have him a dane cook dvd. it was all very nice. Maybe we can watch it tonight...hmm. In other news, tomorrow is paul's 18th birthday. aww, he's finally 18. how cute. i have a few things planned for him tomorrow....mwhaha....

You Are A: Kitten!

Cute as can be, kittens are playful, mischevious, and ever-curious. Like you, kittens hate getting wet. Kittens are often loving, but are known to scratch or bite when annoyed. These adorable animals are the most popular pets in the United States--37% of American households have at least one cat. Whether it is your gentle purr or your disarming appearance, you make a wonderful kitten.

You were almost a: Pony or a Puppy
You are least like a: Turtle or a DuckWhat Cute Animal Are You?

I think it's God's little joke on the world to make you sick at the worst possible time. This is the worst time EVER for me to be sick. Band concert next week, not to mention midterms. ughhh midterms. I can't even practice, even though I need to because I have a lesson tomorrow morning. Ohh I'm going to get killed. So while I desperately need sleep to let my body fight off this evil thing that's trying to kill me, I have to study for the statistics test I have tomorrow at 8:00am. and practice. and do stupid ear training for the midterm next week that I can't even sing because I hardly have a voice. Oh yeah, and theory homework. and practice piano for my midterm on tuesday. someone, please shoot me. I'm going to be dead by the end of the week anyway, and being shot doesn't involve as much suffering as these next 5 days are going to bring me.

I've found that when I'm at school, most of the time I'm too busy to update this thing. Other times, I'm too tired. And then sometimes I just don't care enough. But since I'm home for the weekend, I figured I might as well update this to let everyone know what's going on in my amazing life.

Being a music major is..well....really busy. But I like it. I'd rather be busy than have nothing to do. Most of the oboes in the studio are really nice, and the upperclassmen and grad students are really helpful with reeds. Oh man, it's been a while since I've played on a good reed.

Hmm..what else is new? I like my roommate, we get along really well. And she doesn't mind paul being in the room all the time, so that's a definite plus :):):) I got an 88 on my first stat exam. I HATE TESTS THAT HAVE SO FEW QUESTIONS THAT IF YOU MISS ANYTHING YOU CAN'T GET AN A!! really, what is the point of that? everyone misses SOMETHING on a test, and I maintain that the question missed was very misleading. Oh well...at least I know what it'll be like next time.

well I have to finish some reeds and get ready to go back to schoooooooool. yay, school.

well, I'm at college now...not sure how I feel about that. getting my clothes out and stuff isn't that bad, but organizing all the other stuff is really annoying. I also kind of want to go home. I don't know what college classes will be like!!! harder? easier? about the same?!?! I DON'T KNOW! :( A part of me just wants to go back in time to senior year...last year was great. But I think this year will be too, as soon as I meet some people. I don't know anyone on my floor...i guess that's like most people that go to college. it'll just take a while to get used to everything. It's soooo nice having erin here though. She's been with me pretty much the whole day, and without her I would have been really lonely when my family left. But it was ok...she stayed with me for few more hours, and now she's back in her dorm taking a shower. WALKING MAKES YOU REALLY SWEATY AND GROSS. UGHHHH!! I smell horrible. better get used to it, I guess. hehe. I better get back to unpacking cause I think erin and I are going to a movie on the lawn thing at 8...that is, if she ever calls me back

10:30 am - I <3 Mrs Cortes!!!

I've been emailing mrs cortes to give her names of new oboe teachers for her son, danny (I gave him oboe lessons all last year). I'm going to miss her soooo much! This is part of an email she sent back to me:

I am going to miss all of you very much. As Mr Helmick used
to say "We teach the same subject, but we don't teach the
same kids". I hope that you will stop by sometime when you
are back in town. Have a great time!

Love

Mrs C :)))


Awwwwwwwwwwwwww.......I'm going to miss that lady. *cries* I've gotten to know her and her son from giving danny lessons, and they're just so NICE! And she's a good teacher too, so anyone that doesn't think so can just punch themselves in the face :)

Ok, I'm done.

oh man...just over a week until I leave for college. I'm excited, but at the same time really really scared out of my mind. Most of my peers see going to college as a chance to be on their own, a chance to have more freedom to do what they want, to just get away from their nagging parents and have month long sleepovers with their friends. I see it that way too, but a little different. For me, it's the end of childhood and the beginning of true responsibility. I'm not ready to balance check books, be responsible for transferring money to different accounts, doing my own grocery shopping. I don't want to do it! I don't want to live on a budget...I just want my parents to take care of that stuff. After college comes real life - job, marriage, kids, investments...i never thought I'd get to that point in life. And I don't even know what I want to do with my life I never thought I'd have!!! ugh....I'm just not ready for it. I also feel really bad for my parents, especially my mom. I'm the baby, so after I leave the house will be empty. I know it's not my fault that I'm leaving...it's just what you do after high school. But I still feel guilty, and I know she's going to be really lonely when my dad travels (he's usually gone 2-3 nights a week). siiiigh...back to packing/cleaning.

I hate the dentist. hate hate hate hate hate. Unfortunately, I had an appointment to get those cavities filled today. now my mouth isn't numb anymore, and all I'm left with is lots of pain :( I don't remember it hurting this much. I took some advil a while ago but it still hurts like a bitch. I can't eat. poor me :(

10:21 am - me? social?!

Recently I've been getting out of my house more...thank god. Friday (I think it was friday) I went to patrick's "end of the summer" get together. It was nice seeing friends that I haven't seen a lot of this summer and won't be seeing any of at school. *whimper* RACHEL WAS THEREEEE. I loooove rachel (spurling). Erin, Briana and I spent the night at her house after patrick's party. It was nice seeing rachel...I miss the way she calls me "pookie" :) But I had to leave early on saturday morning for an oboe lesson. blah. oh well.

Saturday night I went to kobe with my family for my brother's birthday. Kobe is good. Go to kobe tonight. It is very good. Hey! I still have some in the fridge......I know what I'm having for lunch!!!!!!!!!!!

And LAST night was awesome. I went over to erin's house to save her from her family BBQ, and quickly realized that we needed some more people. So I called Jim, who brought mike nelson over with him. I hadn't seen/talked to mike in about a year due to extremely stupid reasons. I'm glad we're friends again.....I missed him a lot. Aryan was there too. Anyway, after all of erin's family left we went over to jim's house, where more fun ensued. I had to leave for about an hour, but I came back towards the end of a really horrible horror/comedy movie. I don't remember what it's called, but it was pretty awful. So awful that it was great :) Then we watched fight club, which I'd never seen before. It was really weird, and I think I need to see it a few more times before I understand it. Yes, yesterday was a very good day.

This morning I went to the dentist. I only have 4 cavities, which I am getting filled tomorrow. I thought I'd have 20 or something, because I'm really prone to cavities and I haven't been to the dentist in 3 years. hahaha...I'm really happy that I only have 4. So this day is starting out pretty good, as well.

What a great few days. I feel good.
