An Update, XI
14 years ago
I suck at keeping up-to-date. College gives me no time to do this kind of stuff.
Wow. College. The last few times I was here, I was freaking out about college and now here I am and it's perfectly normal. So crazy...
The Singers show is pulling together. We've had two shows already: one for family and an "actual" one. They both went alright! I'm pretty excited about the professionalism of it all. Oh, did I ever mention that I got a small flute solo in one of the songs? Well I did and it's super exciting. Really easy, though. "Reflection" from Mulan. I'm using Trina's (ThunderBlitz)'s flute (Thanks again!!!!).
College life is okay. Super busy! Taking eighteen credits was the biggest mistake of my life. Honestly the biggest. I'm taking:
Wisconsin Singers
French
Music Theory
Elem. Logic
Piano
Concert Band
Sax MC and Private lessons
None of it is very hard but it's just a lot of work and takes up a lot of time. I'm also in InterVarsity, a Christian org, and I've also been going to miscellaneous LGBT events I have time for.
I don't know if I mentioned this before but I'm meeting up with a LGBT mentor through this program. I don't know why I did it or if I really need a mentor but I thought it was worth a try. I've already be in contact with her (Her name is Brinae.) and she seems super cool and a lot like me. We meet on Wednesday. I'm really excited.
I really miss people back home, and people in my class. I just miss the small town, all-faces-are-familiar feeling. I'm coming home for homecoming, which will be the first time I'll be home since August. I'm really excited to see the underclassmen and the band and some classmates that are coming back too. I know my friends Carlye and Carrie are returning, and maybe Dylan. TJ isn't coming back though, which, really upsets me. ): (Hey Trina, are you coming back?)
Did I mention that I was considering being in a pit band? It was for some zombie musical but I couldn't do it because of Singers which upset me but Singers is pretty legit so it was okay. Anyways I just saw it today. It was called Z-Town and it was a community musical. The vocals kind of stunk and the story at the end was kind of hard to follow but the band was awesome and it was overall pretty humorous and enjoyable. The band was really good. The only winds were saxophones so it was like this rock solo the whole time in the background. Pretty enjoyable. (: I got to meet up with the composer/band director afterwards, which was neat! She was a really enjoyable person and we got to just chat for a while. Also the bus driver on the drive home was this guy named Reggie who is the coolest. Yeah.
I will try to update more often. I was doing so well!
And omg! I was gunna ask you earlier if you were coming back for homecoming! xD Totally escaped me. But yeah, I am coming back! Hope and I are gunna go do dinner and a movie instead of the dance or anything. Maybe you could come with? Carlye and Carrie are probably gunna just cling to each other like always :I
I'm also thinking of wearing my fursuit to the game. Not sure though.... Whuddya think? You could be my lovely handler again x3
Fursuiting at the game could be fun, if not just extremely interesting. (: I would love to be a handler. (Weird word... lol) But that's up to you! It might be hard to see the game (hahahahahahaha) or the halftime show and you are an insta-subject to weird looks and the like but we're graduated so who the hell should care really?
Your job sounds cool! I think I'll need a job for next semester... don't know what I'll do, though.
I've already gone to a game in suit (did it the day before I got to UWSP actually, haha). It was really fun, but when I got home my mom and sister just gave me glares because Lisa got a ton of texts about what I was doing apparently. So after thinking about it there's good chance I'll just leave my suit here at SP to avoid the glaring looks ¬_¬
If that Wisconsin Singers group is a work study thing, shouldn't it go through the entire year?
Did you really fursuit in NL already? That's awesome! It's good you had fun, but the glares are not good at all. ): I can imagine Lisa getting a lot of crap for it though. Do whatever you think is best, like I've said.
I think how Singers works is I'll get a lump sum second semester, and it will be split half-scholarship half-cash? I'm not sure on how it goes down. But housing was more than I anticipated and with my financial aid contract I can't take out a loan. Which blows. But maybe I won't need a job... I'll figure it out. O:
