Tonight is the concert for the Philharmonia, which is a part of the New Music Festival at BGSU. Basically my whole weekend is being given to music. This morning was dress rehearsal, tonight is the concert, and tomorrow we’re recording. I sorta feel like I’m being overwhelmed by it all. The music is way harder than in high school and we get less time to learn it and master it and that means I’m falling behind because I’m not practicing enough. Basically, I’m stressed. And whereas I used to feel so good when playing violin, I don’t know if I do anymore just because I feel so much worse about my playingg. Oh well. Je ne sais pas.

Meeting with my Advisor today
I’m getting just slightly ticked off at the fact that everyone I mention my potential change of major to is not being supportive or positive. Now granted, saying everyone is doing this is lying. There have been a lot of people that have been totally cool with it and go “Oh yeah, awesome!” but for those who decide to put down what I think I may want to do even when I provide legit information from government websites on the job opportunities for a French major really just piss me off. To a point, I get it, I should look into this fully. But what people don’t seem to understand is that I AM. I have this meeting with my advisor today, I’m signed up for an appointment with the campus career center tomorrow to hopefully get unbiased information when all I had the option of just going to retrieve the paper work from an office on campus.
The reason this probably affects me so much is because I’m getting frustrated with the fact that people feel the need to talk down to me as if I’m not an intelligent, responsible individual who will look at all the sides of what I’m doing. But I am those things. And for better or worse I’m also strong willed. So if you tell me, even though I’ve provided information and say this is what I want to do, that you don’t think it’s a good idea and I shouldn’t do it, and you can’t give me a solid reason that I can’t argue against, you really have nothing to say and no dictation over what I do with my time and education. I will do what I want regardless as long as it doesn’t do harm to anyone else.
Thank you for listening to my rant. It was nice to get the anger off of my chest. Wow. You can tell I’m really really opinionated… Wow. lol.
Also, you should check out this video. It's true.

Ugh Procrastination is like herpes
No matter how many times I tell myself I’m going to start this french project and get serious, I don’t seem to get the message. At about 1 I posted on here that I was going to go and get busy and actually do my project, and I still haven’t really done ANYTHING. I’ve gotten the pictures I need but I have written anything AT ALL. This isn’t good. =[
Anyway, this time I am for sure going to close out of all my windows and start writing because I want to be done by 10 tonight. Just thought I’d make one last attempt at procrastination before I develop the headache that is just waiting to happen. –.-
Hmmm… I have returned!!!
I recently have downloaded the new Windows Live Essentials and I’m playing with Windows Live Writer. I realized I have posted in 3 years. It’s sort of fun to look at these few posts I have up and see how spastic I used to be though lol. Well, here’s just a quick update on what has changed since 2007:
I am now in my first year of college. Right now I’m a creative writing major, but I’m more than likely going to be switching to french within the week after a prompt meeting with my advisor and the career center =P. Well the whole creative writing thing didn’t last past a semester. Oh well. I’m also a music minor so that I can continue playing violin.
I am slightly more mature and just as opinionated and very responsible when it is necessary. I don’t know if you remember Ms_motley, but I had two other blogs with her and I don’t think she’s posted anything since 2007 either. I don’t know if I can suck her back into blogging with me or not. She’s in school now, too. She’s going to be an English Teacher ^_^.
Buuuut yeah. That’s all I really have to say right now. I have to go work on my french project anyway. Love and hugs.
