Yesterday sucked. I went to theory and made the *stupidest* mistake ever... called a staff line a ledger line... >.< i was tired, and i blurted out the first thing that came to my mind... i wanted to die...
and anthropology was interesting. it should be a good class if the ppl will just shut up.. there's more students in that class than there are students at ARGS. and the teacher's from India, i think... i could barely understand her, and she wasn't really talking into the microphone.
but my textbook has an interesting thing about "white man got the ball..." it's a culture thing. *feels edumacated* hehe
yeah, it's gonna be a cool class.
after that, one of my new friends i met at orientation showed up, and i got his screen name. ^^ i was like "yaaaay!!"
and i saw more ppl from args... they evr'whar!
i missed the bus *again* (drat that schedule) and had sushi in the cafeteria. it's expensive but it's good stuff!!! mmmmmm *wants more* i think it's gonna be a daily thing. *nod* i'm glad caustin pointed it out to me a few days ago... i'd have been wandering around hungry.
and i'ma apply at the computer store in the commons.. they're hiring now, and i have the feeling that i'm going to need a job soon.
but then i got to the apartment (it's more home than the house in midlothian's been lately..) and spent a peaceful afternoon reading my anthropology chapter.. and the roomie came home and she called her mom and we went shopping! ^^ got incense at pier 1. it smells nice. tho i got an allergic reaction to the store and my face broke out really grossly very shortly therafter. bleh.
but i got home.. and my roomie showed me this sweet movie called Boondock Saints. in the middle of it, my mom calls and asks if i can help her with her a/c.... so i try, and she gets it semi-working, and then she spills her guts to me about my dad... called my dad and talked to him after i hung up with her and he started doing the same thing... even tho they both promised when i was in the hospital that they'd stop doing that.
god, my parents are total assholes... using their own daughter as a therapist.
that's why i moved to this place in the firstplace... even tho it's in a scary neighborhood where there are murders and gang rapes and such.
so yeah, yesterday sucked worse than sucking. just that last part made it a horrible day.

oki, today i had my first ever horribly busy day.. started off at 7 'cause i had to catch the bus at 8... that made me mad... i am *not* a morning person. at all.
so i went to keyboarding starting at 9.. our teacher's a grad student, she's neat. perky, piano-type person. she had us play this "lets-get-to-know-your-neighbor" game... and i was sitting next to a friend of mine so we already knew everything about each other... what's funny is one of the questions was 2 things you'd take on an island with you... food and shelter and hygienous stuff was all provided. we couldn't take ppl with us... i'da taken the teacher and 'sika for sure. *nod* but everyone in the class but one person took something music related. the only one who didn't was a vocal major (go figure) but everyone else either took their instruments or if they were vocal students, they took huge repertoires of music. ^^ go music geeks!!
and then it was sight-singing. whoo hoo...... um, no. our teacher is like a manic crackhead. on speed. and crack. and... yeah, you get the picture. he's got the craziest sense of humor, but he's a lil creepy. he had us doing solfeg (solfedge or something like that.. it's do-re-mi work) with hand movements. *blinks* and he was teaching us to conduct.
then i had a break and waited while my friend had a music lesson so we could eat lunch together.. i passed the time by getting my key to the practice rooms and signing up for orchestra auditions (they were today, but more about that later) and practicing for them. then me and my friend went to lunch and he was exhausted, poor thing... he only got about 3 hours of sleep last night... v.v
after that it was off to the master class. my teacher didn't show up. lol... apparently there was a miscommunication of some sort about when classes started (i know he was thinking the same thing i was: "what kind of crackhead school starts classes on a thursday?!") so the horns were in with the trumpets. i made a trumpet-buddy! ^^
then i had a massive break until my audition. so i practiced. then went back to the performing arts center across the street and slept. then practiced some more and went to my audition...
DA DA DAAAAA!!
i totally kicked butt at my audition. i would be so happy if i got first, 'cause next semester we're playing Tschaikovsky's 5th symphony, with the most gorgeous horn solo... that i've got perfect... i played that for my audition. ^^ at the same time, if i got first, i think i'll explode on the spot, 'cause a freshman being the section leader over ppl who are... say.. seniors? grads even? *doesn't know if the horn that went before me is a grad or not...*
but they were running late so i missed the bus. >.< but that's ok, i got to see an old acquaintance from ARGS that i never got to know super-well... it was cool to run into him again...
and i discovered that there are at least 3 dozen vcu freshmen in my apartment area thingy. @_@ it's so far away from campus.. couldn't they get us any closer??! it's 6 friggin miles from mcv!!! and mcv is a scary distance away from the student commons.. *still slightly miffed*
but the day was good overall. *nod*
and now i harass away messages. ^^ i love doing that. muahahahaha...
later, folks!

this was me today, getting lost even tho i knew where i was...:

Whoo hoo! i am writing from my apartment. it rules. carpet everywhere.. giant living room... bedroom's an ok size.. full kitchen, yaaay!!
i'm writing this from my roommate's laptop, since i don't have mine yet. should be coming next week. she's got a thinkpad, not bad.
ick, tho... vcu was a poohead and didn't connect us to the network. so we STILL have dial-up. zannah (the roommate) and me are going to get digital cable, so we'll be all set. ^^ still, it sucks, 'cause vcu shoulda taken care of that...
>.<
but still.. i free!!
i gots tons o' classes tomorrow... saw Ned today, he seems to think i'm a french horn goddess o.O and says that there are 8 or 9 horns... and i won't have a problem getting into orchestra.
um.. hello? erin has not practiced this summer (she never does) and the orchestra only accepts 4 horns!!! *spaz* and if i don't make the orchestra i'll be stuck in Uband!!!! *barfs in anticipation*
so i am praying.. very very hard.. that i get into orchestra. they may not even have auditions tomorrow *crosses fingers* if that's the case, friday afternoon will be spent practicing, i tell you. *head spins*
zannah and i wandered around campus and found a nice lil chinese place and ate there. i got kung pao chicken. it made me sweat and cleared my sinuses. as the teacher would say.. it was gewd!!!
lol..
but i'm here, hooray!!

life is sucking. i had to pay for my perscription--again... and had to give my dad $250 for my computer, and i had to buy my school supplies. all in all, i lost over $350 today. which is pretty much my entire summer earnings.
plus this computer sucks and keeps crashing just when the ppl i wanna talk to log on. and my mother refuses to turn it back on for me after the 4th BSOD. last night her excuse was that my disrespectful computer habits had cost her at least $200 monthly. If that's the case... something's really really really wrong here.
so last night she made me go up to bed at 11, even tho i made it clear that i would *not* be able to sleep...
i drew a pretty picture while waiting to get sleepy, but i'm also mad 'cause i wanna put it on good paper instead of sktechbook... and i always mess things up when i try and trace things...
v.v
so life is sucking!!

yeah.. feelin decent at the moment. actually, kinda bleh. i dunno why i'm so down right now. i'm actually feeling like a semi-poohead at the moment.. v.v
but no matter what mood i'm in, i can sing the song i sang for the talent show. actually, i can sing it especially when i'm down 'cause it's kinda a painful song anyway.
*sings*
but yeah, feeling bummed. *looks around* maybe it's cause i'm home and nothing has changed; it's still as smelly and depressing as it was when i left it. and my room is impossibly messy. i don't want to go in it.
*curls up in a little ball* i'm moving out tomorrow.. i just gotta think that... moving out tomorrow.... tomorrow...
*sigh*
