On the Air

All in all, I'm happy because things have cleared up with this blog. It got flagged on suspicions of being a spam blog. If I knew what that was I might have been concerned about it, but blogger took care of it. In other news, this week has been an adventure. I helped Courtney Wyatt move from her dorm to another part of campus on Tuesday. That was kind of fun, though I wish it hadn't come to it. She needed to move, end of story. I did get free dinner from her dad though, that was cool. Moving is more fun in college than when you live in a house. There's less stuff, namely furniture, which made it go fast.
School is joyous. I have such a load it's ridiculous how easy things are. I just do my homework and I don't have it anymore. I'm lazy sometimes though, which needs to change. Part of my assignments for my beethoven class is to attend 6 concerts that include all of Beethoven's string quartets. The last movement of the last piece is always good, but tonight went on and on. It feels like I'm working on the same project for hours and hours and getting no where. They're are actually really cool, but I hate taking notes during them. I feel as though it takes away the cultural part of the experience in some way. The class is still a great opportunity for me. Tomorrow I'm having lunch with the other honors students in my class, along with a few other teachers, the director of the Honors program, and Robert Winter. Robert Winter is basically the greatest Beethoven historian ever. He's here because the college asked him to speak before each concert. I get to each lunch with him for free tomorrow. It's going to be great.
I sometimes think about the future. Actually sometimes is all the time. I've discovered that I tend to plan and plan and plan the big changes that I'm expecting in my life. In my eyes, it's to minimize problems involved in transition periods. With college, for instance, I began getting my things together to move in mid-June. Before I received my scholarship money, I checked the status of my student account several times a day. Even today, I looked at my classes for next semester. Because I'm going to be gone for two years, I'm trying to use this year as a "get as many unwanted classes done as possible" period. Overall, I'm excited for next semester. This planning thing is getting me into trouble though. I've found that my spontaneity is at an all-time low. It's hard for me to enjoy some of the things that I used to. I still have tons of fun, but I think that people find me less approachable than I once was. That's one aspect that I still need to figure out here. I've made tons of friends, and there are a lot of great people. It's just harder for me to casually talk to someone like I used to. I think that I need to realize that just because I'm at college now doesn't change the type of people that I'm coming in contact with. They're still just people, social people. I read somewhere that the number one fear of new freshmen is simply making friends. A lot of this problem is that I'm just thinking about myself a lot. They say that to make lasting friends you have to be a good one. I think that's all I need to solve this particular problem.
In other news, I'm going to try out for the club volleyball team on saturday morning from 9-12. I'm really excited. I think it'll be fun just to go tryout. There are 3 separate teams, so though I doubt I'll make the main team or even the second team. The coach said that the third team is just to hone skills. They came to my beginning volleyball class to advertise so i fugure they must not be expecting much. I'm just going to give it my all and see what happens. My sets have gotten a lot better these last few weeks, but it's still my weakest point. I can pass just fine. I play volleyball almost everyday, which is awesome. It's a fun sport that I like a lot. I hope that this works out; it would be a great outlet for me.
I'm doing really well, and I'm really excited for everything coming my way (with the exception of snow this weekend).:( I hope you're all doing well and that your hard work is paying off. I know that we're here on this Earth to work hard and give all we can. I try to keep that on my mind as often as possible. Peace out.
