The New Semester is Almost Here!


I'm so jealous lol, though I know that in a couple of months I will be dog tired and ready for change. Last night was my first night back at the Mathlab because AACC started back to classes yesterday (and I don't til next week). My friend Nick came in and was working on homework and looking through papers etc. so yeah I was jealous lol. We still have two classes that are the same, despite taking them at different schools, so I look forward to us still getting to argue over math until we figure out the answer. I helped about 20 people figure out that the classroom they were looking for was not in fact in the building and had to describe how to get all over campus. It was fun. :P HaHA, I laugh at you children and your getting-lost-ways. (Like I still don't get lost at UMBC lol)

While all that was going on, I surfed my school site and I ended up thinking that I might just want to add a Minor in Music to my list of school endeavors (along with my math minor, my original Mechanical Engineering Major, and an Art Major I'm making a portfolio for). I wrote back and forth with one of the clarinet profs there and ended up getting permission to add to my schedule a weekly hour long practice session. I had thought I might audition for the Wind Ensemble next week, but I came to learn that their meeting time was not so convenient for my work schedule. Besides which I will be bending over backwards as it is. For now I'll stick with the private hour sessions and we'll see where to go from there. A music Minor is not difficult judging by their criteria on the website, and it will be yet another welcome way to blow off some steam from MUCH harder classes. I practiced for an hour today and my face HURTS lol, but I find the audition piece I printed out to be easy and likable. :P

So that leaves me signed up for 16 credits for this Fall semester. Music, more math, two engineering classes, and German. It's going to be fun, I'm hoping it won't kick my ass to the curb lol. And somewhere in there, I'm going to have to find time to keep my art up. :faint:

CHOW: This week is my last week to finish my two pieces for a team endeavor that I'm doing over at ConceptArt.org, so I plan on having those to submit soon as well. Down to tha wire.

You are really freaking ambitious today! o.o lol XD I would never dare audition for flute. But then again I've had zero practice in years, except when Hunter and his brother come down and want to play band. ^^; Oops. Of course they think I'm great but they're 11 and 9, lmfao.

I was like you today LOL! I was TA'ing the methods weedout course and it was funny and weird seeing myself four years ago in those kids. They were bewildered and terrified and it felt strange being semi on the other side of the table, having a lot of the answers they needed. I can't pretend I didn't find it very gratifying, lmao. And then the prof had me take them around on a tour of their objects of choice and I was proud of myself lol :blushes: because I was uber efficient. Lol and there's this awesome Chinese exchange student who came and LOL she facebooked me and SHE IS A SESSHOUMARU FAN so we both like DIED haha. Apparently art historians love Sesshoumaru, because Erin likes him too. We appreciate things of beauty LOL. But yeah I'm having to do extra help for this exchange student on the side because the prof talks too fast for her ^^; and has a heavy New York accent. It's really rewarding though. I like it a lot....I need to not let it take precedence over studying for my exams ^^;

Wowza! You a busy girl!! Thats awesome that you wanna do muzak as a minah! Just remember to pace yourself; I learned that hard lesson all this month; I had to 'drop' karate and not make it a priority every single week. More like 'if I have time'. :( YAY MUSIC. I tried clarinet in 5th grade but i sucked at it and i didn't wanna play it the right way so i dropped it and stayed with piano. XD :hug
: :heart: I wuv oo. Lets never stop makin time to hang out!

Yeah, comparing a music minor to a music major, it's a LOT easier, particularly if you only have one instrument. I have known music majors that have three or four instruments and they had to invest at least an hour of practice time on each one per day. SO yeah, crazy investurez thar. Good luck with this semester! You'll be in my thoughts and prayerses and all that goodness. :hug: Hope all goes comparatively well also. Love and hugs, chica! Lol, hope I can get back into school sometime soon too. XD

yeah when I was taking chemistry there was a Chinese girl who had very spotty english and we had the prof from hell, so I tried to help her make sure her notes were right so that she could study. I agree, totally gratifying. I think I'd be cut out for teaching if I could ever get to where I could stand having that many people constantly around me lol.

and nah, I'm not going to audition. I could have that piece totally tightened up by Monday, since in an hour yesterday after six years of hiatus I picked it up no problem. I mean I've been playing music since I was like six or seven. Anyways, like I said, no time, I have to keep reminding myself that I have four other classes that are going to suck up all my free time and two part time jobs. Definitely no time LOL. >.> I'm going to have to keep it together big time.

I would love to play music with you and Hunter and his bro lol, that sounds like so much fun XDDDDDDD they are so cute

LOL XD :hug: you would have totally fit into our clarinet section. :P

And yeah. We'll definitely have to keep having a night, I'm positive I'm going to need it in a serious way once the semester is in full swing. Math lab, Art Things, homework... it's gonna be rough. :P Need the money tho

As much as I would LOVE to have three or four instruments under my belt, yeah I really don't have time. I've wanted to learn a string instrument for years, but I'd also have to purchase one and then spend hours a week working on it. Cello, violin, guitar, one of those. ;o; I doubt the keyboard, recorder, and clarinet would hack a music major lol
