Differences & Recent Event

Things are different. From the location I’m at to the way a group of people acts. Everything where I am now is different. But who said change was a bad thing? I’m actually enjoying this change.

It has been over a week now that I have been moved into Tubman House here at Towson University and am actually really enjoying myself. My roommate, Jawad, is easy going and very simple to get along with. The friends that I have made through TJ have become closer friends. I have recently started to become just as active here as I was at Indiana State. Kappa Kappa Psi started up here this past Sunday and I feel like everything will go extremely well this semester. They keep telling me that I am being kind-of “thrown” into everything that is happening and I inform them that every group that you ever join or become an active member of, you will always have drama or head butting. So, in a sense, everything with all the groups that I’m in thus far, are actually going really well. There are two performing band ensembles that meet in the Spring semester and one, Symphonic Band, you need to audition to get into. I decided not to audition to get into the ensemble because I wanted to get my academics underway here at Towson and get a feel for the place. I didn’t want to rush into too much at one time. Starting Fall semester though, you can guarantee that I will be getting equally as involved as I was at ISU.

I know, some people still don’t know the outcome of my audition at the beginning of January. Most know but for those that don’t, I didn’t make it into the Music Department. Yes, I blew it. But… its all the experience. I am not ‘labeled’ currently as a Music Education major. Instead, I am a Pre-Music Education major. This semester I am still staying involved in music and am continuing everything but with much more ambition. The gusto that I thought I had at ISU has sky rocketed since finding out the results of the audition. I want to be an actual Music Major here more than anything now. TJ has told me “Maybe this is a blessing in disguise.” I honestly believe that though. It’s preparing me for what is to come and is also making me a more patient and persistent person.

I will make it into the department. I will. =)

Another good thing that is happening… I will be 20 years old on Saturday! Wahoo! I can’t wait. No, I don’t have anything special planned. Lots of people have been asking me, but no I don’t have anything planned. TJ and I will be heading back to his place which is about 20 minutes away from school to do our laundry on Saturday. While I’m finishing up the laundry, TJ will be heading off to his Grandfathers 90th Birthday celebration. Get this… he’s 90 and still walks 18 holes of golf AND reads the Wall Street Journal FRONT TO BACK! He’s amazing. But other than that, I felt like I haven’t blogged in awhile and had nothing better to do at the time so, there you go.

Thank you so much for reading. I do appreciate it. It’s nice to blog sometimes. It’s really relieving. Maybe you might want to start a blog. They’re free here on blogger. =P Okay, I’m done ‘advertising.’ I hope you have a wonderful day and I hope that your week continues to go well.

With pleasure,
Trevor
