do you know who i am?

i don't know how to put this, but....i'm kind of a big deal. people know me.

hey, check it out, it's 1:11am. make a wish!

so my last post was kinda fun eh? who needs drugs when you can just deprive yourself of sleep and achieve the same effect? seriously though, those hershey bars are amazing.

today has been a strange day. i stayed up all night studying for my music history quiz because i can no longer afford to get anything less than an A+++++++ on any of the next quizzes or exams. i think it worked out for me on this quiz because i think i got one tiny little thing wrong that will be countered by my answering the extra credit question correctly.

so anyways, i went to bed at 5am, slept for an hour, got up at 6, studied for another hour, then got ready and went to take the quiz at 8. i remember finishing my quiz then the next thing i knew i woke up in my bed. i definitely don't remember walking home or anything...it freaked me out a little. i almost thought that maybe i had dreamt about taking the quiz and that i had slept in or something. luckily that was not the case. colin told me that i was definitely there.

i woke up around noon and got a call from andrew dzuik telling me that ProWinds, the music store here in town, would be calling me for an interview. they did and i interviewed for a job at 4, which they offered to me and i accepted. basically i'll be listing stuff for them on ebay and potentially doing some work with their website. it's a great position for me because i get to work my own hours and do a lot of it from home. money is good and having an employee discount at a great music store will be a nice benefit too. i need a new straight mute real bad.

so after all that nonsense i rehearsed for a buddy's recital at 7, then went and heard the top orchestra here play mahler 6. they sounded amazing. by far the best concert i've heard here so far. the horns were a little weak, but other than that, it was badass. on my way to finding the second tier balcony i wandered into the dance dept. area. i found myself in a hallway with about 20 dancers (they must have been having some kind of audition) lining the walls. they all looked at me like i was from another planet. i certainly felt like i had entered another world (anyone ever wander up to the third floor of the art wing at haas? you'll know what i'm talking about...). as i turned around i over heard two guys talking and one of them said to the other, with quite a lisp, "i know, right?" ahh stereotypes...

i dunno, maybe it doesn't sound like too weird of a day, but with the unusual sleeping, it seemed funky to me.

i have a job? that's weird.

also, i'm sad that i can't make the pilgrimage to eau claire for the bone dinner. i have an opera performance on friday night but it's one of those things that just hasn't sunken in yet....i'm in denial i guess. sad. i mean.....rage.

that's all i got.

love (kill pandas),
