Procrastination
Yaaaaaa....
This post is in place of the English paper I should be writing.
I do love to write, but not stuff like this.
Write what you liked
Write what you didn't like
Write what you would do differently
Write about the strength and weaknesses
Did you like this story? Why or why not?
Write your opinion of the paper
Compare and contrast
Now talk to yourself about what you wrote
Now repeat what you just said
Now write all this twice
Did you do all of that? Now right it backwards...
Gooooooooosh.....
Ridiculous!!

Fond Memories
It's times like these when you just need to escape.
Nothing seems to help
Everything seems to bother you
The music I had wasn't working
It finally occurred to me what would 'sooth my soul'
It is indeed music..
But not just any music..
Music my daddy sang when I was little
Nothing better =)
Amarillo By Morning
Heard it in a Love Song
Starry, Starry Night
Minstrel of the Dawn
Solitary Man
We Just Disagree
Early Morning Rain
The Last Unicorn
Just the Way You Are
Lady
End of the Innocence
I'll have to say I love you in a song
You were always on my mind
Angel Eyes
Been listening to it all night
And it's brought back memories of my childhood when things were all too simple and all I cared about was my dad playing the guitar and my mom singing along with him =)
Thanks, Mom and Dad. Love you!

$$$
Money, money, money
It's what the world revolves around supposedly.
I'm not a fan that it does, maybe that's why I'm a music major.... HA!
But seriously though, I wish things in life didn't have to rely on money. It cause stress, loss of emotion, stinginess, anger, frustration, etc.
Everything little thing adds up...
Like my teachers say "Oh, get this method book, it's really cheap, $15 bucks is all." Right...
"Register for this program. It's well worth it. $25 bucks."
"Hey let's go get a pizza! $10
"You need an accompianist for this quarter. $50 is all. Which is a great price!"
"Make sure to order your trumpet solo! $35 bucks."
"Partay tonight!! $25
"Ohup, you need food! $100.
"Did I mention you need to take this skills test at the end of this quarter. Only $85. It's the cheapest one."
"Oh and ya, don't forget tuition, the reason you're here! $*&^#@& !
Well there ya go $385 buckarooboes! Oh ya and $*&^#@& ....
Why is everything so damn expensive?!?
People! What is this! Do I look like I have money coming out of my ass?? I hate how money has to hinder progress, success and opportunities. It just isn't fair. I'm trying to be patient and manage my money, but it's getting to the point where I feel resentment because I can't go out and do things. There's just so many things that involve money. It's crazy.
I just have to do what is best for me and find ways to scrounge and make the best out of what I can afford. And if someone says you have to get this, I'll have to respond, "Lend me the money and I will have it!" =)
And to ask for gift cards as often as possible ;-)

Music!
I just put this plaque up in my living room! I got it for Christmas! Beautiful words! =)
"Infinite combinations of rhythm, melody, and harmony that universally inspire listeners to reaction."
"It can create or disrupt a mood or a moment, incite chaos or camaraderie."
"It can, in an unsuspecting instant, reach into one's memory and hurl the past into play,
or the forgotten into focus."
"It can transform lethargy into energy, indifference into passion, and soothe a cindering soul, At its
most compelling, it transforms the musician into a messenger to all within earshot of its magic."

Today, Life is Good!
Well, tomorrow is the start of Winter Quarter 2012.
Hody Cow.
I've been thinking a lot about where I was a year ago: depressed, sitting in my living room chair balling my eyes out because I couldn't come back to school because of my health. I had to e-mail teachers that I wasn't coming back right after I had achieved all of my goals I had set out to accomplish. I didn't even have the strength to walk up stairs or take a shower. I had to tell my roommate I'd miss the first year in our new house and I had to tell the love of my life I didn't know when I'd see him again. I felt sooo much anger. Why was this happening? My life had reached the point were I dreamed it would be and now I can't even live it. Why?
I engaged in a lot of self-pity to cope with the circumstances.
Ugh.... no bueno.
For those of you who read my blog, you can probably tell I talk about this a lot. I never occurred to me until now just how much the situation affected me. It was probably the most emotional trauma I've ever been through and not only is the physical healing in process but the emotional and mental as well.
But, it's not all bad. I got to slow down and do absolutely nothing (it was good but it got old way too fast). I got to spend lots of quality time with my family, finish the Harry Potter Novel Series, and master Pinochle!
Today, life is good. My health is slowly creeping back and so is my mental and emotional stability. Thinking about where I was a year ago and comparing it to now, I really have made remarkable process. I have a new outlook on life and I appreciate what I am able to do.
So here we go winter quarter! Nothing's stopping me! Well ok, yes I'm going to have to sleep on a regular basis ;-)
Here's to the first schooling in 2012! I know anything will most likely be better than last year!! =)
