Lesson 15: Sometimes people are icky

I'm really not in the mood to say stuff, multiple reasons.

Lesson 14: Procrastination sucks

I usually procrastinate things, just not this bad. Usually I'm still in bed by 12, I don't think that's going to happen seeing that I have most of a Philosophy paper to write and I'm tired from yesterday so I don't even know half of what I'm reading. Yay.

Lesson 13: Sometimes talking works, sometimes not so much

Due to the time and for other reasons, I won't go on about this.

Lesson 12: I am once again an old woman in a performance

I haven't been in all of the musicals offered while in high school. Freshman year I was going to be away during the performance and sophomore year I failed at the dancing auditions, so I didn't get in. Junior year I did though (yay Guys and Dolls!) and this year I am too (probably because I'm a Senior and we are special). That's not the point though, the point/lesson would be that Thursday we were doing dancing for the rehearsal (2 hours of it too, that was fun) and we just did the "Wells Fargo Wagon" because the musical is The Music Man and there are 11 solos. One of the solos is "And I expect a new rockin' chair" and our dance instructor (I'm going to stick with that because I can't spell the other word) said that it's going to be an old lady. At once a group of people looked at me. Why? Because if there's an open old lady role I tend to get it. I was the old lady last year, the Mother in my Elementary/Middle school's Hansel and Gretel, Lady What's-Her-Face in The King And I (You know, the mother of the Prince, I can't spell it). And there's more. 

Not that I'm complaining, I mean I'd rather be the old lady than not have a line thing at all. It's just funny.

Guess I'm brimming with maturity, it's soooo type casting. 

Lesson 11: You don't need to be as scared of people as you may be

Ok, so for this one college there's a choir scholarship. This requires a letter of recommendation from a music teacher. Seeing that I am only able to play the vocal chords unlike some of my more musically inclined friends, this meant I only had one music teacher to ask. Said music teacher is also the director of the musical. Said director is also probably the person I am most afraid of in my high school. I don't have an issue talking to adults, usually, but there's something about this teacher. I don't know what it is, but it's there. Anyway, I asked him to write a letter for me, saying that I would understand if he didn't due it, due to there being little free time what-so-ever with the musical and he said he'd be more than happy to. Yay. I should connect this to a more global level, but due to it being WAY past when I'm supposed to be asleep I won't.

Lesson 10: Pandora has very interesting reasons for picking music

So, instead of listening to my iTunes today I decided to use handy dandy Pandora and when I got bored I checked the "why is this song playing?" Turns out there are some interesting reasons, I didn't know they considered, such as: demanding instrumental part writing, extensive vamping, a minor key tonality, major key tonality, and (what I found the most amusing) a 12/8 time signature. I have to say, they're all legit reasons, but I still find them amusing.

Lesson 9: My body enjoys having bad timing

I've stated how busy I'm going to be recently, that was lesson something or other, I don't remember. So, naturally, what would happen? I get sick. And that's all for today, because my brain is dead and it's late
