Uff, Monday! And Valentine's Day, at that!
Today was pre-destined to be a bad day. Why's that, you may ask? Well, because it's Monday...which is just automatically a bad day. And it's Valentine's Day. I was late for just about everything, realized I hadn't done my sem homework, my sem research, written up my resume for Prof. Katz, or just about anything else I had to have done by today. Yikes. And while we're on the topic of things I haven't done - I also haven't done my reading for tomorrow for either of my classes. And I have no intentions of doing them, either. At least not tonight. Tonight I plan on sleeping.
So, today (of all days), Chris from CP called, and offered me a team lead job. I am SO tempted to take it. I haven't said yes yet, but I have re-arranged my dates of availability. The only downside is that my team lead job was offered at Surf Shop, and shit goddamn, I'd look even dumber than the Snoopy boy scout look *barf*. But it would give me time to chill at home or wherever else before heading off for three months or so. I'm still contemplating the Harand Camp stuff, as well as the Green Lake Festival internship (even though that would mean living in Ripon...*barf*). I need to figure out how to get into mercury on the new emacs in Rodman so I can work on my resume. The sucky part is that both of my awesome references have moved to the South. Granted I have an email address for Alexander, and I'm guessing Dietrich would have contact info for Bessant. So I'm not terribly worried, but boo. Of course, I should probably get Alexander's info ANYWAY, in case I need a reference, 'cause I think I fucked up any chance of getting a good reference from Graham. Not that I care...
I also am contemplating getting back into the music store business again (after what, five, six years?). One of my distant cousins works in a music store and teaches private violin lessons at the same music store, which sounds like a pretty sweet deal to me. I like teaching privately, I think that'd be fun. And if I could ever polish up my organ skills (note to self: practice tomorrow)...
Oh! Sherri liked my arrangement of A Winter's Willow, and gave me a few tips on how to improve it. So I'm pretty excited about that. Maybe I could work at a music publishing house...hmmm.
I really want to do a radio show this semester again! Man, our freshman year radio show ROCKED. We were so fucking random. And I was the token flake/ditz. "There's three Beths here too" "Three Beths??" "No, there are three listeners, me, Erin, and Beth." "Oh, I thought you meant three Beths, and I couldn't figure out which three Beths would be listening..."
Of course my listeners would probably get sick of hearing the Garden State soundtrack on repeat...
I wanna go hear Sam Shaber!! I just got an email again today, reminding me that Sam is going to be in Wisconsin again, and I can't *sniffle* go, unless I find someone to go with....Thursday night? Madison? Anyone?? :)
I also wanna go see Keane!!! Sunday night?? Milwaukee?? Anyone?? Yay Eagles Ballroom??
God damn, I miss Milwaukee. Yes, it IS Algonquin for "do you smell that?" but still....I miss the city life that is Milwaukee. I have only gotten a fix of Appleton, and Ripon's oh-so-exciting nightlife. Which is not so exciting. Except it was on bid night, because of the company. And Thursday night, of course. But again, because of the company...
I hate listening to Liszt. It depresses me, because I will never, ever be that good at piano. Though Liszt piano music could be bad for the piano player's health...at least according to Professor Dietrich.
Wow, I have been really random today.
I think I'm going to go to grad school for psychology. Maybe. I don't know. Maybe music therapy. Ooh, combine both of my interests. I was thinking music history, but that would be boring. I have no idea if music therapy would be even remotely interesting either...
So, after all of my randomness, I leave you with today's excitement: finding a book of dirty songs in the resource center! Oh! The fun! I may possibly post some of the cleaner songs (or maybe the not-so-clean-but-still-amusing-as-all-hell songs) in the future - including one about sixty-nine to the tune of "Clementine" There's even an exceptionally dirty category called "Songs That Ought Not Be Sung"!!!! God, our lives here are pathetic. And there's a song about all of the Nazi officers (Hitler, Gohring, etc) and their balls. God help us all.
Definitely amusing to myself & Kali, which signifies that we both need help.
