So I decided to spice this up a little bit! I think my blog is now a lot more fun!!

I'm sorry....just had to add this!! Look....it's a little smiley band!!!!

Haha....so cute.....remember in grade 11 (or was it 10) when I had an obsession with hula-hooping?? That was a great time!! I remember spending before and after school as well as lunch time hula-hooping in the band hallway!!

Oh ya, Kristen, I totally remember playing "A Copland Portrait".....in fact, we're studying Aaron Copland later this month in music history and a group of us are playing an excerpt from "Appalachain Springs" (the piece A Copland Portrait was based on) for extra credit. I love that piece.....we shall reminisce when I come home.....in 36 days!!!!

Today was another day that never seemed like it would end, but it was a good day!! Big band rehearsal was extra fun because for one piece we're performing next week, I get to play the flute for the whole song!! I love doubling, so I'm looking forward to it!!

If for some reason anyone wants to hear some of our performances, my friend Dave has a site with all of the music, so you can listen to it if you want. The only thing is that it is password protected, so if you want to go to the site and listen to the performances, just e-mail or message me and I can tell you the site, username and password. My family is already quite fond of the site!!

Well, it seems early......the night is still yound for many university students.....especially the drunkards who are off to the clubs tonight (it's cheap night here in Vic!!); however, I am exhaused and I think I'll go to bed!!!

Good Night!!

Wow, Denise.....that "I'm a College Student" thing is SOOOOOO true.....in fact.....here are all the ones that are relevant:

I am a college student. Stealing from the caf no longer feels like stealing!

I am a college student. I have a specific shower stall which I refer to as 'mine' and my feet will never touch the floor of it.

I am a college student. Drunken scrawlings on my message board or late night drunken IM's from friends across campus no longer perplex me.

I am a college student. Somebody keeps stealing my damn message board marker.

I am a college student. I pray for hotties in my classes so that I will have a reason to go to that class. I will, however, never talk to any of these hotties.

I am a college student. I will cross busy streets just to pick up what might be a quarter.

I am a college student. Answering machine messages are a thing to be celebrated.

I am a college student. I am accustomed to asking "do you have a student discount" wherever I go.

I am a college student. Going to early classes in my pajamas is fine.

------------------------------------------------------------------
Anyway, school is good, the weather is good......I'm coming home in 36 days!!! I can't wait!!! Since it's not that far from now, I may be able to resist scratching my roomate's eyes out!! Anyway, I have to run off to the music school again, but I may write another entry today!!!

Later Gators

Aren't roomates fun?!?!?!?!?! I know I sure LOVE mine!! I especially like it when they use your computer without asking, or maybe eating the cookies your mom made for you, or perhaps even when they go through your clothes!!!! What's next, wearing my underwear?!?!?!?!?! So much FUN!!! It's a good thing there's only about 38 days left here, or I think I may scratch her eyes out......or bite her, like Kristen says she may do today.

Other than that, I'm great.....wonderful weather, sunny skies, school is going well!! We had our "Battle of the Jazz Bands" concert on Saturday. UBC's top big band came to perform in concert with ours, and it went really well. We were told that we even sounded better than UBC did, which is great because Tara and I were petrified to go on stage in front of them. Not only are we the only 2 first years in our band, but UBC had all upper year students as well as 5 masters students!! It was so scary, get sooooooo fun!!!

I have finally talked to my prof about doing a double degree in performance and education and she said that she would love to see me do that, and thus, I am excited for the upcoming years!! Both education and performance have their perks,and even though I'll be CRAZY busy....it's definitely worth doing both!!!

Well, I have to run off to yet another rehearsal.....Tuesdays are so busy, but other than Chorus tonight, the day is a lot of fun!!

Later Gators

PS: Kristen.......control the rage!!
