Challenge. For Real.

I'm about to get a refund. yayyy.
time to pay momma back, pay off my credit card, and wait for it....

Eat healthy.
I hate. hate. hate. removing food from my life.

Buttery, savory, yummy food.

It'll be a mix of fruits and veggies [yay] and tofu and some seafood when I can afford it.

I'm scared. very. very. scared.

I've already done some exercising these past few days non stop. Pilates, crunches, planking, sit ups, and some yoga. running comes next to add on.

I'll be poor forever.

silly musicianess.

I know, why does this post go under sleepless musician? because it's gonna affect my schooling obviously.

If I'm grumpy, I'm sorry.

Theory, Aural, and Graduation.

So it's official...
I have a B+ in Theory 1 and a B- in Aural Skills 1!
I'm a little sad that it was only a B in theory, but I'm ok.
My GPA is now officially a 3.125!! It's quite exciting overall.
I plan to get an A in Theory next semester and do a little better in Aural Skills this semester.
I thought I was going to get a C or something in Aural and I was freaking out!

I am ok, and doing well. :)

My Big Sister in Delta Omicron graduated today.
She's THE reason why I made it so far and so well in Theory.
I'm gonna miss her! :( But it's ok. She'll still be around to help apparently.
SO YAY AND CONGRATS ANDREA! <3

procrastinating...

On sleep?
Yep. I surely am.
I'm freaking out over my three exams tomorrow...
Especially Education.
And maybe a little on Voice Methods...
Ok, maybe a lot.

Just tomorrow will be scary and it starts as soon as I wake up.
No prep time at all.

I studied a lot for it...
But is it enough?
We'll see, right?

Doing well!

Got a B in Piano 3.

It's one of the few subjects that I'm actually keeping up in and doing well. My GPA is going to be a 3.0 this semester! I can tell.

I have to study for education 210 and voice methods a lot. D: I'll be fine though. 3 more exams.

Theory One.

I SHOULD. get an A in that class. honestly, I'll be a little upset at myself if I don't because I'm so confident about that final exam, and I got a 95 on my project. It's amazing what happens when you get a teacher who actually teaches a class.

I feel like a lot of professors just don't care about teaching and making sure students actually UNDERSTAND the material these days. It really bothers me that they act so uncaring about questions and sometimes seem so pestered when you ask questions to better understand the concept.

It's your job to teach, so please do it.

Thank you to Dr. Lewis for being so great at teaching.
[It helps a little that he's quite nice to stare at and pay attention to as well...]

:D

I meant to post this earlier

It has no visuals, but This is my first Theory Project, finished and ready to be judged. It's nothing great at all, but It'll give me an A, I'm sure of it. I called it Simon's Lament after my kitten. :) reminds me of him wanting so horribly to go outside, and instead being playful and troublesome inside. :) Sorry the music is a little odd sounding. It's MIDI playing it so it's sounds quite electronic.

Exam Week might really kill me.

I missed my sight singing exam this afternoon because I was too busy flipping out over my flute jury.
Which went...decent. I actually didn't cry DURING my jury this time. So that's a win? but I stopped during a phrase because I freaked and missed 3 notes...but kept pushing on. Which is also good right? :/ I need to get better at this quickly. Also, I aced my HMXP exam that I forgot about and did in like 10 mins. XD Talk about barely making it.

Tomorrow will hopefully be a make up exam for sight singing.
As well as a Theory test I will freakin Ace!!!! Or else I'll cry.

Friday is a Piano exam at 4pm, that I am also freaking out over.

The Thursday on the 13th, It's going down. 8pm- voice methods.
11:30am- educ 210
3pm- aural skills, dictation.

gah. I am ready for friday the 14th to be here.

First Singing Concert

So it wasn't as bad as I though it would be. Being in ΔΟ means singing in front of people....a lot. We sang at Olive Garden to a little boy for his birthday. :) It was too cute.
Tonight's concert was with all of the girls, and some random solos/duets in between. I played Hanukkah flute music with Christine. :) It was fun. Our audience was a total of 6. count'em, SIX people. haha I worry over nothing.

Sometimes, It's a good thing to get lost in little worries to avoid big issues, just for a moment...

end of the year is not happening fast enough

SERIOUSLY.

Sight reading can not be amazing. especially when you're on the spot in front of people.

That means don't yell at me please. :(

In other news, The best part of my day? My new pats jersey. :D

goals met?

So I did as I promised and played my butt off during break so far. I played sooo much that my fingers shook after a while. Goals were mostly made, but not all sadly. :(

Goals met:
Playing the Jury piece [vivaldi] decently in movement three.
Worked out a few kinks in movement one.
Really made movement two beautiful.
Played major scales up to 110. [not quite I know, but better.]
Played etudes 2 notches faster

Goals not met:
Playing minor scales. :(

yeah, I know I probably could've made time for the minor scales, but I was being a slacker and also freaking out over my jury and worrying over if I still have my sound or not. I guess I'll find out this Monday if all my hard work was worth it.

The clock is running thin and I'm still freaking out over my jury piece. Will this happen every year? :/
Totally not looking forward to my senior recital...
