| In light of recent events I have decided to post quotes I find relevant to my situation.
"Knowledge speaks, but wisdom listens." - Jimi Hendrix.
"How will you say to
your brother, 'Brother, let me take the grain of dust out of your eye,'
when you yourself do not see the bit of wood in your eye? O false one!
first take the wood out of your eye and then you will see clearly to
take the dust out of your brother's eye." - Luke 6:42
"Let he who is without sin cast the first stone." - John 8:7
Also, one more quote that I find moving but is not really relevant.
"When the power of love overcomes the love of power the world will know peace." - Jimi Hendrix

| So I decided that it was time once again to "xanga it up." I am going to start by saying that I am never going to try to play in a pit orchestra and take classes at the same time. Not only did I have a test this week but I also had a rough draft paper due in one class and a final draft due in another. With tech week on top of that, the only free time I get is if I stay up really late. Oh well, it'll be over soon I suppose. Besides the musical, I am having a wonderful semester though. After the musical is over I might even be able to practice for my lesson and the various ensembles I'm in. Well I'd write more but it's time for me to learn more about the former soviet union.

| So... it's been a while...
My summer so far has been... musical. I have been to three major concerts which are: Bassooner or Later (OSU), July 4th at Blossom with the Blossom Festival Band, and just today I saw the US Air Force "Band of Flight." All three concerts were great although the first was definitely my favorite since it ended with the 1812 Overture played by 28 bassoons and including audience participation. Oh and I also bought an MP3 player! I chose the Sony Sansa e260. 4 GB capacity with picture and video capabilites.
I have also been working at the Medina "retail service center" for Do-It-Best Corporation in the shipping department. The work is pretty hard but the pay is definitely nothing to sneeze at. Thanks to that job, I was able to turn down one of the federal loans offered to me for the next year.
The last thing is that I decided I'll try to double major in computer science and music but I won't declare until later so I can avoid some of the things required of the music majors (which are, frankly, pretty ridiculous).
Anyway, I'd better get going. Maybe I'll post another time before going back to school.. maybe.

| So last night one of my teachers became... frustrated.. when I told her that I was a music minor and not a major. This made me seriously think about changing to a double-major in computer science and bachelor of arts in music. The way it looks, I could still get out of here in four years without gaining any overload fees even if I did change. The only problem is that it would be a lot more work on my part, which most likely would not translate well for my grades... Oh well, I have the summer to think about it. In other news, my two regular exams yesterday were both a piece of cake, my bassoon jury went really well, and I passed my piano proficiency. So besides questioning my major choice, yesterday was a great day.

| So I was surfing teh interweb and I found this awesome video. I just felt the urge to share it with everyone.
Anyway... band concert tomorrow and I have finally finished all my
performances for this semester. Last night was the longest
concert ever but the woodwind ensemble I was in did really great so I
was happy. Well nose has got an appointment with the
grindstone... maybe I'll write again later.
