I had an interesting end to my 2006. It has been one of the best and worst years of my life. January brought a continued sadess over not having the one I loved with all of my heart. February brought a wonderful Valentine's present when Anthony and I got back together. March was pretty fun since Anthony and I both turned 21. Spring break was horrible though since we had to spend it apart. April was sad because it was the last month I got to spend with Mr. Rollins as my band director. The summer brought the new challenge of living away from home. August started my 1st Senior year, and Anthony and I moved into our apartment. In September I started a new job and Anthony and I got engaged!! The rest of the school year was tough and I really wasn't happy with my grades overall. I found out I'm not getting to play in the President's concert orchestra, I'm not getting to go to AIB, and I'm really beginning to dislike the clarinet all over again. I like to play, but there have just been some things happen. I've also had to start the first ever Symphonic season that I have ever dreaded, and unfortunately, I'm not having fun. I'm just doing to keep people happy. My Christmas Break has been wonderful. I got to see my mom and spend some much needed time with her, and I've gotten to do some much needed wedding planning!!!!
2007 had been good so far. I'm hoping for a better semester, and hoping to have a lot of fun playing bassoon in the concert band. Plus, my wedding is in just a little over 2 months!!!
I MADE A B IN 20TH CENTURY MUSIC!!!!!!!! I have never been so happy about making a B in my life. I've also never had to work so hard at one. I guess my 1st 'all-nighter' was worth it. lol Anyways I just had to express my gladness. Now just to wait for my clarinet lesson grade, which I believe should be an A as it has always been.
Well, my semester is over. Thank Goodness!! This has been the worst semester ever for me. I think I may have made more B's in classes this semester than I have in the rest of my semesters combined, and 20th Centruy Music hasn't even come in yet. (I'm praying for a B in that one) Yeah...I suck... Anyways due to my grades this semester, I am dropping my voice and piano lesson. Since I am not doing voice, I'm not doing choir either. So guess what?, I am going to be in Concer Band as well as Symphonic Band. lol I will be playing bassoon. Needless to say, it's going to be interesting. lol I have GOT to do better next semester. I think next semester should be better. My classes are as follows. Monday, Wednesday, Friday 10-10:50 - Special Methods 1 - Mr. Leyva (MW only) 11-11:50 - Symphonic Band - Mr. Leyva 1-1:50 - Concert Band - Mr. Leyva 2-2:50 - String Methods - Tatiana Ko??? (however you spell her last name) I actually am sorta worried about this class. (MW only) 6-8:30 - Counterpoint - Dr. Schroeder (M only)
Tuesday, Thursday 11-11:50 - Symphonic Band - Mr. Leyva 1:30 - 2:20 - Band Lab - Mr. Leyva 3:30 - 4:20 - Advanced Pilates - Ms. Thompson
I will also be taking my Clarinet Lesson (of course) and Astronomy online. Well, I'd better go becasue Anthony and I are fixing to watch a movie.
Wow...It has been forever since I've updated. I guess I just haven't wanted to take the time. It amazes me that the semester is almost over. Next semester will be my last on-campus Spring semester. It will also be my last Symphonic Band season which makes me sad. It also makes me realize that I really have to start thinking about where I want to go to grad school. I still remember my first day of summer band as a Freshman thinking, "I don't want to be here." I was just gettting over a break up (stupid boy). I didn't know how in the world I was going to make any friends. I also didn't know how I was ever going to be able to play the clarinet good enough to ever make symphonic band. Well, now, I have loved my time Henderson!! I will miss it greatly. I am a memeber of wonderful sorority. I've been a member of the Symphonic Band since I was a Freshman, and have loved every year of it. I actully can play the clarinet! lol I have been blessed to have had the some of the best professors a student could ever ask for. School with a Heart definitely applies to the music department. I've decided to continue my education and go to grad school. I found that music theory may just be my calling for a career. I have found the man I want to spend the rest of my life with. College has brought me many ups and downs, but overall, I would trade the time I have spent at HSU for anything. I am so glad I still have another year to spend here. Hopefully I will soak up even more knowledge that I can take with me to grad school and into the real world. No matter where I end up after May 08, Henderson will always be close to my heart. Well, after that rant that I did not even plan on going on. My Senior year has been going OK so far. I have a couple of classes that are just not going as well as I planned. I've just been kind of down in the dumps too. I guess I feel that I'm not as good as I want to be on clarinet. I also just feel that so many people don't really like me. It's not that they dislike me, I guess that they're just indifferent. Anthony says I'm crazy, but I just have kind of felt that way lately. I dunno...I hope it just a temporary feeling that will go away once Symphonic Band starts. Well, this has been really long, and I think I'm going to get some late night ice cream (just what I need..not).

I may not be perfectly beautiful, , I may not be perfectly wise, I may not be perfectly obedient, but I am perfectly me.
Well, once again it has been awhile since I've updated. I've been working a lot. Today I worked 13 hours. 7-2 and 4-10 All of that was at PetCo. I couldn't have stood to be at Sears that long. I think I will end up with about 55 hours this week. I also just got off the phone with Anthony. Yeah got to hear about all of the drama and band camp stuff going on. Oh how I'm not missing band camp. Next weekend Anthony's parents are going to be in town so that should be fun, and then the 31st and 1st we're going to help my mom move. So I won't be going to summer retreat. It would just cost WAY too much, and helping my mom out is more important. The next week Anthony and I will be moving somewhere, not sure yet. We've decided for numerous reasons not to stay in this house. We just have to be out by August 9th. Oh well, I guess that's just a general overview of how things are right now.
Anyways due to my grades this semester, I am dropping my voice and piano lesson. Since I am not doing voice, I'm not doing choir either. So guess what?, I am going to be in Concer Band as well as Symphonic Band. lol I will be playing bassoon. Needless to say, it's going to be interesting. lol I have GOT to do better next semester. I think next semester should be better. My classes are as follows.
