Well well well, it seems to me that i really have not updated this Journal in over a year.

So as a quick update on my modern life, I am currently in my first year of University, having finished high school with a fine arts diploma, and now I am currently studying music at the University of Calgary. It's quite fun, with courses like musicianship in which I sing and notate rhythm for the entire class. But some of my courses makes me want to die a little on the inside, like Music History, where for the first month all we did was have a lecture about how to get to the library, and have a midterm on Gregorian chants which we never learned in class! Yay! I'm pretty sure everyone failed that midterm, so in reality we all passed! Hooray for bell curves.

In other news, in Symphonic Band, we are playing a bunch of songs that I have already played, including Variations on a Korean Folk Song, and Armenian Dances Part 2. Unfortunately, or maybe fortunately, I am playing different parts in these songs so I won't be bored out of my mind, but it's somewhat annoying too because for some of the runs, I have a muscle memory built in, and therefore am playing other people's parts, and not my own. Haha.

I didn't make the Wind Ensemble this year, and I am not too upset about it, more just angry at myself for lack of preparation for the ensemble auditions, but next year I will for sure make it. I know this because I know over half of the clarinet section and they are all surprised that I am not in the Wind Ensemble. But by the sounds of it, they need another clarinet in the Wind Ensemble, and if they do, then it will be me, because I even had the section leader of the Wind Ensemble approach me and ask about it. I would be really happy if I were to be in it, but if not, that's okay!

My first concert is on November 19th btw, so if you can make it go! It will be full of awesome win!

My clarinet teacher is giving me the piano parts to some of my solos, because he feels that they are ready to be performed for public... haha... not going to happen. And that's final!

I've made a few friends at the University, but I still miss my friends from high school like crazy. But at least I will be able to see all of them during Christmas, and then also during the summer, but summer is so far away!

Well that's all for now, I got bored of writing about my life. Umm... I'll try to post more art, I just have not had a lot of time for drawing lately, but I have been doodling on my assignments, so I guess I really just need to transfer from random paper, to my sketchbook. Anyways...

TOOTLES FOR NOWZ~
