Random thoughts?

So I get to see my Mom, Sister 1 and Niece tomorrow. I haven't seen them in about a week and a half. I'm excited to see what they are up to and how they are doing.

Meetings with my family can either go very well or not so well. This meeting might bring more bad news about Sister 2 and her craziness or other general bad news. Or it could bring bickering between Sister 1 and Mom arguing or any other possible combination two people arguing. But mostly these trips bring family, good conversation, and understanding. Things I can always use more of.

I don't think I'm going to go to class tomorrow... I haven't even begun my history paper yet and the 2nd draft is due!! I definitely need to talk to that professor.

I hope I pass my recital jury. I had a lesson today and the Mozart Sonata went fine (K.345, c minor) GREAT actually. But the two Scriabin etudes (Op. 8, No. 5 and Op 2. No.1) didn't go so well. She didn't even let me finish the Brahms Rhapsody b minor (the first one). Two of my friends took their pre-recital juries today. One passed and one failed. I thought the one that failed did a great job but they held them back because of "not being able to recover effectively". I would let them go on and just get it over with. But I'm not the one with a doctorate degree.

Sorry for being so existential lately. I guess I just really worry about what I'm supposed to be doing and what I'm doing, is it correct? Maybe being in a relationship eases this things because I just realized that I don't think of these things, that often, when I'm dating someone. Dating someone doesn't define who I am, it just keeps my mind off of things. Definitely another reason to date often. It keeps the mind busy and the heart occupied.

If you haven't noticed, I like to update from my iPhone. I like being able to have pictures accompany my posts. It shows my immediate surroundings. I like it.

Sorry for the long post. I'll try to keep them shorter.

Waiting part 2

I don't know any of the answers to these questions, obviously. Only
time will tell.

Sorry about the dual posts. Accidentally hit the Send key.

Waiting

As I sit outside the recital hall, listening to Joie play her pre-recital jury, I wonder what is it all for. Music, classes, jobs, relationships. What does it all build up to? What is the thing that everyone is pursuing? I wish it was clearer.

What happens after grauation? A job? More classes? What after that? Marriage? Babies? More school for them? All the mean while, money is the subject on everyone's mind. Do I have enough? How can I get more? More questions that don't really matter. What does it all build up to?

I know the thing is to be happy. But which of these things do you need to be happy? All? None? Do I need to graduate to be happy?

Spring time!

So as I stepped out the door today I was extremely surprised to find
that it was actually warm. It hasn't been warm in what seems forever.
Hopefully this change in weather well lighten my spirits. Meantime, I
have to play for my lesson today and I'm not sure I'm ready. Wish me
luck!!

A family tree!

Hello from the desktop!

I've started a family tree using Geni. It is pretty cool. You can add your whole family on there and allow them (or not) to edit the tree along with you, making it as complete as possible. I would really like to see a complete family tree of mine one day. Maybe some other relatives have already started one that I can build off of. Search for me on Geni and look at my tree. Tell me what you think so far!

Wind Ensemble

Hello from wind ensemble. I am a piano performance major but I also
play the tuba. I played all throughout middle and high school so I
thought "why not" when I got to college. They give me some scholarship
money and a free trip every year to recruit new people.

P.S.
I got on trouble today for texting in class. Let's just say that I
wasn't the only one doing it... joie
