Great art is as irrational as great music. It is mad with its own loveliness.

I'm pretty sure I'm prolly the worst music major out there. I have only practiced one time this summer.... talk about total failure. It's not that I don't want to practice, because I really do. It's just that it's so hard to get to practice. I live here in this apartment where if I practice I'm afraid someone will complain about me. Last time I went into my closet and practiced for about a half an hour but I tried not to be loud. If I go to the college to practice I have to bother a million people to find a key to unlock the practice room. I guess if you really want something bad enough though, then you go through all of these things to get it. I think I've pretty much narrowed down the schools I want to go to next year. I'm going to apply for University of Florida, Boston University, Hartt University, and Ohio University. I was also thinking about maybe applying to a college in Nashville because it's a really cool place but I just dunno about that one yet. I liked it when I was there and it's really a great place but it's not one of the "top" school and while the school I go to doesn't have to be a top school, I do what to know that I'm getting the best education possible for what I want  to do. You know, I'm really in love with Horn. I'm really thankful that Mr. E (my high school band director) pushed me and didn't let me quit. I will always be grateful for that. It's taught me a lot not only about horn but about life in general. You can't go around quitting all the time and you certainly never know when you might really like something once you get the hang of it! Well I guess I'll prolly get off here and go to the gym or clean or do something productive. It's too early to practice so I'll take on that adventure later! Until next time, live with no regrets! :)
