Day's Events

Today, I've feeling SOOOO great!!!  Don't ask me why.  I've been like this all week, and I'm very glad about it, too.  I have so much stuff coming up in school and it's getting a little close to midterms, but I'm not panicking and I'm not letting it get to me.  I'm so happy!  LOL  Weird...  I haven't been this happy this long forever.

So I got both of my grades back from my aural theory class, as well as the playing test that I had for yesterday's piano class.  I'm satisfied with both--not thrilled--but satisfied.  I got a C on my Aural theory test, but I can understand why.  In fact... *sees if she can take a pic of it with her cam*  Meh... doubt it'd come out good anyway...  Well, firstly I had it in 6/8 originally, but I changed to 4/4 because it just didn't feel right in 6/8.... However, it was in 6/8!!!! Bah.

Then for my piano test that I had yesterday, I got a B+.  I'm very please.  The worst thing that I did, however, was screw up one of my progressions.  I got nervous and my hands started shaking slightly.  My solo piece was actually better than what I anticipated and I didn't have to look down at my hands all that much.  The two scales that I had to play were great, and I think I did okay on the sightreading.

Today we have an instrument, name, and hometown test in Intro to Music Ed... er... I'm not sure how that will go.  He picks ten random people and we have to jot all their information down.  I think I'm going to end up doing badly (Jala is not good at remembering names).  Oh well...

But before that, I have my music theory class today and for homework, we had to do a composition for the soprano (or treble) voice while the bass line was given to us.  Then we had to write it in three variations...The first one being quarter and half notes, the second being in triplets, and the third being in sixteenths!   So, I composed my little "ditty" last night and I LOVE it!  I did it on this program called finale, because you can listen to it in any instrument.  It sounds awesome, but we'll see what happens when I actually play it.  Yes, we also have to play it today on our own instruments.  That was extra work for me, because I had to transpose it into my key.  Maybe I should record it today...  Nah.

And THEN, I have my teaching thing today in Instrument Lab.  I hope that goes well.  I hate standing up in front of the class.  It's so hard.  However, a lot of people have said that I have a confident voice no matter how many times I mess up.  I hope I don't mess up too much today.

Later on today and a couple hours after that class, I'm meeting with my "Buddy partner" to work on our melodies for Aural theory.  We seem to get along pretty well.  He stopped me yesterday after class and said that he noticed I had a bike now.  My bike has a little liscence plate under the seat, which resembles the liscence plates in Colorado, and it has my name on it.  Maybe I'll take a picture of it today... if I remember.

Ramble

Instead of doing a loooong ramble like I did yesterday (nothing's coming to my mind), I decided I'm going to cybersing you the lyrics to the song I'm listening to.  It's from Brother Bear, the disney movie.  The movie itself was all right, nothing that I would picture as classic, but it was pretty cute.  The music itself was great and I particularly like this song, because it's something that I want to sing to myself, or hear the music whenever I go off somewhere.  It makes me happy and makes me want to visit places.

Anyway, here it is:  On My Way

Tell everybody I'm on my way
New friends and new places to see
With blue skies ahead, yes I'm on my way
And there's no where that I'd rather be

Tell everybody I'm on my way
And I'm lovin' every step I take
With the sun beaming down, yes I'm on my way
And I can't keep this smile off my face

'Cause there's nothin' like seeing each other again
No matter what the distance may take
And the stories that we share will make you smile
Oh, it really lifts my heart

So tell 'em that I'm on my way
New friends and new places to see
And to sleep under the stars, who could ask for more?
With the moon keeping watch over me

Not the snow and not the rain can change my mind
The sun will come out, you will see
And the feeling of the wind in you face can lift your heart
Oh, there's no that I'd rather be

'Cause I'm on my way
Well and truly
I'm on my way now...

*whistling*

Tell everybody I'm on my way
And I just can't wait to be there
With blue skies ahead, yes I'm on my way
With nothing but good times to share

So, tell everybody I'm on my way
And I just can't wait to be home
With the sun beaming down, yes I'm on my way
With nothing but good times to show

I'm on my way
Yes, I'm on my way!

Dream

Can't remember the dream I had last night.

Memory

So, I have a funny memory today.  It was when my sister and I were younger, like kids.  I was probably about eight and Jennifer must've been eleven.  I usually woke up the earliest when I was little.  I would wake up and play with my toys or just bug Jennifer.  I loved picking on her, but I never intentionally wanted to pick on her.  I loved my sister when I was little and her idea of picking on her was my idea of playing with her. 

Well, this particular morning was one of those times.  I think he must have gone to work because I don't recall him being around when this happened.  My mom and Jen were still asleep, so I got up and played with my toys.  But I recalled being so bored, because no one was up to play with me.  Then I had a brilliant idea (I had a lot of those growing up)!  I decided that Jennifer needed to look pretty and I knew just the way to do it.  We had stored up some extra glitter that we had been using for some type of project (can't remember exactly what it was), but I knew what I was going to use it for.  I silently crept to our room and found Jen still sleeping on the bottom bed (we had bunks).  I then proceeding in sprinkling it aaaaall over her.  I got it in her hair, in her clothes, in her bed... Just everywhere.  She was completely covered head to toe.  Satisfied with my work, I noticed that my cat at the time, Heidi, was up and watching me.  So I poured glitter all over her, too.  She was such a pretty cat, but the glitter (in my eyes) made her look even prettier.  And then, for some very odd reason, I decided that the sugar bowl must not have looked very pretty either, because I pour glitter in that, too.  I was a genius...

...However, when Jennifer woke up and found herself soaked in all sorts of little sparkly colors, she didn't think it was funny and she screamed at me and got so angry.  So I'm standing there, thinking... "Definitely not pretty..."  And then my mom woke up from hearing her shouts.  She didn't really care about Jen, but when she saw I did to Heidi, she freaked.  So to make a long story short, I got spanked, the glitter was taken away from me and locked up thereafter and Heidi was given an unpleasant bath.  And no one really said anything about the sugar bowl!  I remember asking Jen a couple days later...

"Jen, can you die from eating glitter?"
"I don't think so.  You might be able to eat four or five of them... but after that you might die."

Anyway, that's my memory!

Prayer

 My prayer for today is that I'm able to take my tests and teaching stuff all right and with confidence.  And I pray also for my friends and hope that they're difficulties don't get them down, but that they rise above them; I know they can.
