Advantageous, Steadfast and Intrepid

(Source: markeymark)

About time I sat down and actually posted something of my own work, right?

This semester was hands down the craziest semester ever.  If I could tell you when it all started I would…SO I WILL…I’d say January 25th, when I started judging GRYWE auditions is when this entire every day chaos happened. This semester I:

- Taught bassoon lessons

- Got offered more gigs than ever

- Became the Northeast District Member at Large of Kappa Kappa Psi

- Finished my 2nd and final year as chapter president of Kappa Psi! 

- Received a Who’s Who Among College and University Students Award

- Gave some campus tours

- Helped out with the Staff for American Bandmasters Association, and met some amazing people in the band world.  This made me even more excited to pursue that track I am.

- Drove to Lynchburg, 4 times in one week

- Only visited student health once!

- Kept my room clean, for the most part

- Met a lot of great people in general

- Figured out life

Hella good?  HELLA GOOD! The chaos NEVER ends, but if my life wasn’t like this…I probably would have no idea what to do with myself with free time.  (Maybe post more frequently on tumblr!) 

Four years ago, if you told me that I would be this happy with the way things are going, and the things that are happening…I’d look at your bewildered.  It’s strange how one action changes everything.  (FREAKIN DISNEY MOVIES) I’m glad I’m spending this extra year at VCU, who knows what may happen in 365 days…MAYBE I’LL GRADUATE!

WHOOOAAAAAA.  I’m going to go enjoy the outdoors and maybe even start studying for my Jazz History Final!
