scribbled symphonies

three cheers for me.

I'm not really good at this whole 'about me' thing. Usually I stick to the basics. So... Here goes.

My name is Nicole, and I go by either that, or Nick. I'm not a fan of any other nicknames. Call me Nikki, and be ready to die, basically.

I'm eighteen years old and a freshman at The University of Akron. I'm a Music Education major, with emphasis in the flute. When I graduate, I want to get a job teaching high school marching band, and I eventually want to get my doctorate and go on to teach college.

I'm a big fan of reading and writing, when my time isn't devoted to homework or practising, or rehearsing, or living in the music building.

But basically, I'm just your all-around, average college girl, looking for some friends. [:

I think it took just about the whole day to get this blog working. And, I mean, I haven't been really good about keeping blogs in the past, but like I told Kayla, I think it's because I never actually really knew how to blog. So, since I was so jealous of Kayla's epic blog, I figured I might as well take another crack at this, and I started a brand new one. Of course, it's like 12:30 am and I have an 8:50 class tomorrow morning, but I would much rather get up at least one post, because Kayla expected an epic blog when she got home earlier, and I still hadn't even though of a name that wasn't taken. XD

We settled on Scribbled Symphonies because it was kind of a mix of a few things that we'd thought up beforehand. I really like it, actually. And its music-related, which was really all that I'd originally wanted.

It took me about five years to find just the right template for the layout, though, and I'm not really sure if I like this one or not, but I guess I'm going to have to deal with it, aren't I? There wasn't much out there that was even remotely cute, so I think that I ended up picking a good one, right? Haha.

Anyway. I don't really have much to say right now; I have no blistering thoughts boiling about my head, nor do I have much I would need advice on. Well, I take that back. I have plenty of things that I could ask for advice on, or complain about, or something like that, but I'm good as of right now. Plus, I don't want to go to bed asking myself questions about everything. I'm tired enough as it is; I don't think I want to wear my brain out that much.

Luckily for me, I don't have Marching Band rehearsal tomorrow. But I do have University Band rehearsal, and that's just fine. U. Band music is so easy. XD

That does remind me, though. I also have my audition for chairs at 1:10pm. Ohh, boy. Not that the music is hard or anything, but I want to play it well enough to get first chair. So, it might be a good idea for me to get some rest, so I don't beef up everything tomorrow, right? [:

Wish me luck. <3
