I really wish I would update this thing more. I guess since my last update, I've kind of forgotten about it. I know that I wanted to update it ever day, but as a music major, that's seemingly impossible. I spend too much time practising and studying to really update this all the time, but I feel like I need an out in life, so I'm going to update this as much as I can from now on. I would hope, at least. I mean, nobody really reads this anyway, so there's no point to keep it, but if I'm using it as an out, then I guess it's good for me.
Nothing much has happened since I last updated. Julio and I are still together. We're actually celebrating our five month anniversary today, so that's pretty cool. And he taught me how to play Magic: The Gathering, the trading card game. I'm an official nerd now, but it's so much fun. We're drafting the newest booster box tonight, Worldwake. But you probably don't care. Then again, this isn't your blog, so I'm going to talk about whatever I want.
I did some trading of cards with Kevin yesterday, who I'm also taking trombone lessons from. I guess he has this big studio project, and I get trombone lessons for free out of it. The only catch is that I'd have to play fr his studio class at the end of the semester. Things are going pretty well right now, so I'm not too nervous. But I think that if this works out well, I might stick with the trombone and play it in U Band next semester. Might be fun.
Since about mid-way through last semester, I've bee staying nights at Julio's house. Mostly because Madison has been having Dante stay in our room with her, and that's cool with me, as long as they're not doing stuff. I definitely walked in on them having sex the other day, and I can tell you, that's not something I've wanted to walk in on. Dx
But the point is, I stayed in the dorm last night because Julio had to stay the night in Cleveland. See, he joined the National Guard before winter break, to help pay for school, and he went through his first couple tests and whatnot, and today was his final test to see if he got in for good. He's mostly worried about the weight portion, because his waist has to be a certain size for what the circumference of his neck is. He's been running and doing lots of sit-ups, so I really hope that he gets in. He's probably finishing up his tests right now, and I'm really nervous for him. At first, I wasn't so big on the idea of him joining, because I never knew my opinion about the military, but now he and I have talked and I have a pretty good idea about where I stand. The only thing is, he has to leave for six months starting in the beginning of June, and it's going to be so different without him. He won't be coming back until Christmas. /=
I still can't get over this whole college thing. I mean, okay, I failed a couple of my classes last semester, so I'm going to have to kind of restart being a music major in a couple categories. Mainly, theory and piano. The two classes that I knew I would pass. Know why I failed? Because I wouldn't go to class. Julio was skipping, and I was staying at his house, so if he didn't get up, neither did I. Well. Now that he's not taking classes this semester, I can't blame any of it on him, so I've taken to getting myself out of bed and going to school. Granted, my first class starts at 11am instead of 8:50am like it did last semester, so I don't have to get up as early, but still. I'm doing it.
I've also managed to get in practise on the flute ever single day. I'm striving for about an hour of practise ever day, and hopefully by next semester, I'll have about two hours a day, which will be perfect for the whole me being a music major ordeal.
I just have so much going on in my life, it's hard to summarise it. I wish I would've been able to keep this up for the few months that I haven't posted, because I wish I'd documented some of the things I was going through. Like how Julio and I almost broke up about four times, and the first time that happened, we actually did, for about an hour before he realised that he doesn't want to be without me. Or that Sarah misses me, and I almost had a breakdown the last time Julio and I almost broke up, because it was my fault that time, for missing Sarah, too.
But those are all other stories for different days. I've gotta get some other stuff done right now. XD
