Finally Relaxing

So, I finished auditions last week and luckily I already know part of the results. I made it into the University that I want to attend. The audition process was not as difficult as I thought it would be. I had found out about a week and a half before I was scheduled to audition that I had to have a prepared piano piece. So my piano for majors teacher found me a decent piece to audition on and I did pretty well. I only have to take one semester of piano next year instead of two. For the most part I nailed my audition on cello and the Aural Skills test was a breeze for me. The only one that gave me some trouble was the Music Theory entrance exam. There was quite a bit that I had not studied yet in my current classes. I think that may have to do with my current teacher ... last semester we had spent quite a bit of time on 4 part 16th century writing which was fun ... and challenging at times but it did not prepare me as well for the audition process. Either way ... I was accepted into the Music Education program and in the fall, after taking applied lessons for awhile, I will know if I make it into the Music Performance program. I can't wait to get away from Ohio.

As for the gaining I have really been off and on. I had a visitor over the weekend but I wasn't really in the mood for stuffings. So I just kinda overate during the weekend. I don't really even know my weight right now but I have been steadily overeating for a couple days, at least when I am not working. I am on spring break ... which means that I get to work more hours which is good on the wallet but bad on the belly. I also bought a used laptop off my sister-in-law last weekend, so I think that I will be able to put up posts more regularly that I have been. The portability makes a big difference eventhough the laptop itself is really old, just the ability to connect to the internet anywhere in the house keeps me more connected plus I can sit on a comfy couch or lay down in bed and type more comfortably. I signed up for summer classes this week too ... and because I don't have any financial aid I am going to have to pay for the classes myself. So far I am up to $1,200 before books so food money is going to be tight for awhile. It is going to be worth it ... for 9 credit hours at CC it is much cheaper than at the Uni that I am headed for.

Oh, I bought a pair of jeans a couple weeks ago, they were a little long in the legs but they fit almost perfectly in the legs and waist, which is hard to find for me. Well getting into my car from coming out of Best Buy I get in my car and the jeans tear right up the side of the "crotch" area. I think it might be because I have really thick thighs and I am tall so when I get into my car ... my legs stretch much wider than a "normal" person. It didn't bother me too much because the jeans weren't very expensive ... but now I have to find another pair. As you can tell from the pic above that my legs rub together, that pic was taken in July last year so you can just imagine what my thighs are like now.

As Always,
Eat up!
