| On my journey to San Antonio for my second drum corps audition, this time with the Crossmen, I thought about a lot of things. I thought about the weekend to come, all the things that hung in the balance, and about my life in general and where it was headed. I found myself at a Death Star-like intersection in my life full of decisions, none of which are easy to make, and all I wanted was to be the kid that was amazed by the things that I am now doing. I used to read words of beauty and think that I would never be able to write that way. I used to watch people act, and wonder from where they drew their emotion. I used to watch Drum Corps and wonder how I would ever learn to do the things that they did. The notes, the throws, the downbeats, the final cut-off. It all blew my mind, and now all of these things are at my fingertips, just waiting to be explored. My problem is that I can't ever fully buy into one thing. I can't choose! I feel like if I pick one thing that I'm cutting off all the other things in my life. Picking a career, a girlfriend, a major, actually buy fully into something for once. It just seems like a distant dream, but so did all of the things that used to amaze me and leave me in wonder. After the experience of a lifetime, a wonderful weekend of music and laughter, I drove home with determination, having finally picked something. I decided that I wanted to join the Crossmen. I got a mellophone, I have music, I'm getting two songs for my try-out, I'm saving money, and I'm going back for another audition next weekend. With any luck, my latest decision will pay off, and I will go on tour this summer with the Crossmen Drum and Bugle Corps. Cross your fingers and wish me luck! | | |
| WOW! I'm soooo tired, but strangely happy. I'm constantly going, and it seems like the only time I get adequate sleep is when I skip class! I'm not sure if I'm going to have enough money for rent, so I have to work a week straight without a break, then Turkey Day with the fam and my brother's girlfriend and mother, and then DRUM CORPS AUDITIONS!!! YAYAY! ...then back to work... I've met a ton of new people in Tyler, and very rarely do I have a dull moment! I'm also semi-participating in No-shave November... muahahaha! No-shavers unite! I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up, but (officially) I'm a political science major, but I'm taking classes for a nursing major, so I don't know! Hope everyone has a happy Turkey Day! -me | | |
| Things have gotten a lot better. I do have some fun now, and I can stay on campus with different people during the day cause I actually made friends and such. Classes are still hard, but I'm doing alright. I have a ton of exams next week, but I'm pretty confident about them. The job is still boring, but hey, gotta pay the bills baby. I'm still trying out for DCI this year. The Crossmen moved to San Antonio, Texas, so I'm going to audition for them. Wish me luck! -me | | |
| I was wrong! College is crap! Though it has less drama than high school, it is much more difficult, and people are so fickle! It's just really hard to have any fun with a job and a heavy courseload. Next semester, I'm going to schedule better! -me | | |
| I find myself, of a sudden, waking up every morning, feeling like I could sleep for a thousand years. I have at least one energy drink a day so that I don't sleep through any of the classes for which I paid so much money. Then, after all my classes are over, I go home, change, go to work, work, go home, and sleep.... then the whole process starts over again. I'm not gonna say I'm not having any fun because that's not true. I'm enjoying life here, I just wish I was more aware of some of it. The grogginess gets in the way sometimes.
