Been a While

So, its been a while since I have posted anything on here. . . . . . My bad. . . . . here is the situation . . . . .
I am studying to be a music major in hopes of one day becoming a worship pastor. . . .but the last couple weeks I have just been really down on my schooling. I still have been going to classes and doing my work and all that jazz, I just feel like I am not doing something I should be doing. The big dilemma is music is really the only thing I excel at, I wanted to just minor in music from the start but there was nothing else I could really do for a major. The only other thing I am half-way good at is sports, but I know I aint going to go professional in anything. lol I know this feeling hits alot of college students this is just the first time it has hit me. . . . Am I really doing the right thing with my life? So any advise you all can offer me to kind of encourage me would be greatly appreciated cuz it really sucks feeling this way. Hope you all are doing well :-)

My Music

So, because I was sick last week I missed my first lesson. . . which wasn't all that bad because Justina got to take care of me :-), but I ended up having my first lesson today. . . . . good story eh???? Anywho, this semester shouldn't be too bad music-wise. I have some snare, drum set, timpani, and mallet stuff. Nothing to terribly difficult. The hardest thing so far is a 4-mallet marimba piece. the only thing that makes it hard is that its in bass clef. Me being a trumpet player I am not fluent in bass cleff yet, but I guess it is time to become so!!!! I do hope we get better music for percussion ensemble this semester tho. Those who have heard us in the past know how good we are, but the music picked so far kinda stinks. Luckily Dave is still looking around. Well all, I better get to bed. . . . . Have a pleasant evening

p.s. I am sorry to say that I am becoming quite fond of Starbucks. . . . . Thank you Justina :-D

Last couple days

So, the last couple days of my life have been normal except for one thing. . . . . . MY FRICKEN SWOLLEN TONSILS!!!!! They are alot better, but for 2 days it hurt sooooo much to swallow anything. Even my own saliva. . . . . . So I went to the emergency room and Thankfully I didn't have strep throat. But my tonsils were swollen and had little white puss bubbles on it. mmmmmmm sounds delicious eh? lol But all is better now. It almost doesn't hurt at all anymore. . . . . . Let me tell yeah tho, the last few days were not very pleasant or bossome at all :-D

Winter Vacation

Well. . . . . . Winter Break is almost over. There is one day left which is on Monday. My dad always use to tell me that "the older you ger, the faster life goes." I realize that he is right. . . . . like he usually is about everything. This has been a great break. I had great times with family. Many wonderful times with my girlfriends Justina. Then 2 of my best friennds. Tony and Jon, were back in town for a while and I got to hang with them. The point of this blog is just how fast this break has flown by. One of my favorite quotes of all time is from the great movie, "Ferris Buellers Day Off" and that quote is: "Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once and a while, you could miss it." So when life feels like its flying by, remember this quote!!!! Have a good Night all

Grades are in!!!!

WOO HOO!!!!!
My grades for the semester are in and I kicked butt!!!! I got 6 A's and 1 C!!! It was a great semester!!!!!!

End of Semester

So, its that time of year again. the time of the year when Christmas decorations are being set up, christmas shopping is be done, people are making plans for their Christmas vacations, and oh yah dont forget the end of the semester. Its been a good semester. The weirdest thing was having Tony not be here for any of it. . . . and now that he is on his break he is in Iowa for 2 weeks. Its all good tho. I have ALOT to do to get ready for my jury tho. A jury is when we play a solo in front of the music faculty and get graded on it. Its like 40% of our grade I think. Most people get to play one solo, but since I am in percussion I get to play a mrimba solo, a xylophone solo, a snare solo, a timpani solo, and some drum set ssssstuff. So, in all its alot of work, but I am for the most part ready for it. So, I just pray that I dont slack off this last week of school and that I sprint to the finish line and do what I need to do. . . . . . That is all for now. . . . . . . . . . . .

New Blog

So. . . . . . . This is my new blogspot. . . . . . I did have another one, but funny story. . . . . . I forgot my password and S/N. I was kinda mad at that. . . . . . but dont worry I will not forget this time!!!!! :-)
