I think every musician knows:

You deal with your demons through music.

Thank you piano and voice, I see that something is plaguing me.
I can see myself with all the symptoms of dealing with a great conflict,
but WHAT AM I FIGHTING?

Things are going pretty well right now! 
Others might would be fighting for the life I'm leading right now.
Not perfect, ( Read more... )

I bought some new clothes today, including some awesome earrings that give me special powers ( Read more... )

Character is fate, which suggests that if a man can know and then to some degree control his character, he can know and to that same degree control his fate ( Read more... )

I have installed a giant whiteboard in my room (80"x36"), and I draw on it with my 12 BOLD dry erase markers.  I make myself color coded lists of things to do, and erase them as I do them; I draw myself picture reminders, just like at ASP.

I'd say that things are 90% amazing.  I love Chapel Hill, I love my classes, things are going well with ( Read more... )

I've been having trouble sleeping, and wrapping my mind around concepts like airconditioning, 8-lane highways that are straight, homes with solid floors and sturdy roofs, new construction (as opposed to demolition), etc. etc, so I've created a multi-step reacclimation process for returning to the non-ASP world.

This is what I find myself doing, day in and day out.

Wake up around 11 am.
Pull out all my stuff to pack up and get ready to go for Wednesday.

Go shopping for something I think I need.
Stay up "late" (in the Apex time zone), and when I decide to go to bed, I have to move all the stuff piled on it ( Read more... )

1.  I will not let good people sift through my life like sand through my fingers - I will hold on to those precious few
2.  I will not use evidence to construe something as true  that I already know to be false.
3.  I CAN'T WAIT TO GO TO ASP!!!! (though, part of me wonders: what/where can/will I screw up?)

Basically, I'm too blessed to complain about anything ever.

The past few days, in review:

Tuesday: moved back to Chapel Hill, by the grace of Patrick and Kyle.
Wednesday - Thursday: shopping and ( Read more... )

I studied like whoa for my linguistics exam, and felt like I blew it out of the water.  I was amazing.  Me and linguistics had this connection like never before.  What did I make on my exam?

85.

I hardly studied at all for my etymology exam, and instead played ping-pong, had good conversations with friends, went out to breakfast with some of my ( Read more... )

Wait for it, wait for it....

ENIGMA!

what I'm about to post may or may not make sense to you.    Just think - it's like PostSecret, minus the suicidal and necrophiliac notes.

1. I think I figured out something about the relationship between me and someone else
2. I found something that was not meant for me to see, but I find great amusement in it ( Read more... )
