Four Deep

So, I'm sick. I've spent the last day and a half or so in what I like to call a drug-coma, there's not been anyone home, even remotely. Today I've run a pretty constant temperature of 100, which is kind of drastic because I usually run cooler than normal when I'm not sick, about 98.1. After last night, where I would have sworn you could have fried an egg on my forehead, I went to the campus clinic today. I don't know why I haven't gone there before. I mean, with my insurance card, I have a 20 dollar copay, and pay like 10 bucks for most prescriptions. But I didn't have to pay for the campus clinic, it was kind of awesome. I mean, I spent like an hour and a half there, but that saved me a fair amount of money, like half a tank of gas.

But anyway, being sick always does interesting things to me, and this time is no exception. I've been particularly bitter at everyone and everything, it's awesome. I almost deleted my twitter too, that was weird. I got sick of people commenting on how I was "retweeting every brotip" when in reality, of the 500+ that I read, I retweeted like 10. That really kind of pissed me off more than it should have. But whatever.

I'm going home again tomorrow for just a day or so because I need to grab my dance shoes and whatnot for my auditions next weekend.

It all seemed like an awesome idea, but pretty much every time I get close to declaring my major, I'm starting to freak out, because I don't want to close any of my doors, I like them all wide open. Oh well, that's my own dilemma to deal with, whatevs.

Familiar Places

Tonights post comes to you from the dorm room of Josh and Tony of Anderson University. This isn't the first time that I've taken a return to the campus since I left for Ball State, but it's the first time that I've really taken in just how much has happened since I was here.

Being back, the first thing that always hits me is the smell, AU has a VERY distinct smell to it, and it's not the most pleasant thing in the world. A lot has changed since I was here last year, I don't know nearly as many people in the dorms as I used to, but it's the people I do still know that keep me coming back. The music building is getting a whole new wing added onto it that due to be done in July. And some things don't change. The bathrooms are exactly what I remember. The food is fairly questionable, at best. And the general appearance of students has yet to change.

I do actually miss my old room. I'd love to see the inside of it again sometime, except that the guy who lives there now is like me, and keeps the door shut. That room was magical when it came to providing sleep, oh man.

I'm here for Tonys birthday, but being here kind of forces me to relive a number of events.

About a year ago, being far too upset over things that really don't matter in the grand scheme, especially looking back. About 10 months ago I was freaking out because by trying to be a nice guy and do the expected thing, I got in massive trouble. And then I told the truth, and got in more trouble. That actually happened not even 5 feet from where I'm currently sitting. I remember almost blowing off my exams entirely, because musical knowledge wasn't going to do me any good in the coming semesters, and now I'm going to be thrown right back into music theory and keyboard classes come the fall. And basically, my life is no more planned out than it was a year ago. My only plans were to get to Ball State, and go from there. Well now I'm there, and looking for where I need to go.

I don't have nearly as much to talk about as I thought I did, as the few random thoughts floating about my mind are nothing new, and nothing I'd care to disclose. But regardless, this has been my allotted time to sit and talk about me.

Until next time.

Day of Palindromes

This is that awkward moment where you realize that you've officially had a significant moment that has lingered with you on almost a daily basis for like 8 months.

In other news, things seem to be pushing me into musical theatre, I'm going to be auditioning closer to the Spring.

The a capella group had a seriously kick ass rehearsal on Tuesday, and sadly we wont be meeting up on Friday for some reason I'm not aware of. We blew through almost two whole songs. It's just mind-blowing how well the 13 of us mesh just by nature. I'm working on two arrangements for the group, though I don't know when they're likely to be finished, and mash up of Tonight Tonight that leads into Last Friday Night, and a MASSIVE "Disney Through the Ages" medley, going all the way back to the beginning and picking a song from every notable movie, starting with Snow White, ending with Tangled. I had to stop working on it because I couldn't stand the goosebumps I kept getting. It would all go so much faster if I had my keyboard up here, but oh well.

I think I'm actually going to shut my mac off for a while, it's been running super hot for the last week, and blows through like half its charge in about an hour. I don't have anything but Safari and iTunes running, so I doubt that it's a processing power issue. Oh well, computers are ridiculous and it's dinner time now.
