S-COOL!

School is great. My current classes are kinda boring (except Calculus, which I love because I went from failing to acing it!), but whatever. I am excited about next semester. I just registered for my classes, and they're awesome!

General Chemistry (not so much...)
Introduction to Computers (not so much...)
World Literature (not so much...)
Piano
Applied Voice
Chorus II
Dancing for Fitness

I cannot wait for the last four!!


On December 5, I am planning to re-audition for the East Carolina School of Music. I applied to, auditioned for, and was accepted at the School of Music at ECU last year, but under the advice of my father, I switched majors to Business (and am therefore still taking classes at the community college).  I hated the idea of studying Business, so we compromised on Communications. Then about a month ago, he came back to me, worried that I wouldn't be able to do anything with a Communications degree either. So he chose Business again. I said, "Fine, I will major in Business if you let me double-major in Music." He said, "Absolutely!" and told me that was the best idea we've had yet. So, here I am re-auditioning, hoping and praying they will let me back in.

I have also applied to NC State University because that's where my brother is graduating from this year. But they don't offer a music major there (only a minor), so it is much less appealing.  We'll see. If I do get into the School of Music at ECU, I'll be a junior in the business program, and a freshman in the music program, which is kinda weird, but after I finish my first (boring) degree, then I'll be set with just the music degree to focus on.

That (sort of) segues into my next announcement:  I will be graduating from the community college in the Spring with an Associate in Arts degree! :)  I know it doesn't sound that exciting, but it means all of my general education courses will be out of the way, and it's also a tangible milestone that many four-year University students don't have to opportunity to receive.  For me, it's kind of proof that I'm actually getting somewhere, and also a reminder that it won't be much longer before I finish my (first) Bachelor's degree.  It's another motivational factor that's really going to push me through the rest of my education, which I need. :)  I'm actually more excited than I thought I'd be, haha.

Anyways, other than to let you know that "2010" was a sick-awesome movie (not-so-great acting, but FANTASTIC graphics), that's about it for now. My Thanksgiving Resolution (lol) is going to be to blog more. I think about it sometimes, it's just a matter of doing it.

Tootles!
