My First Entry (This Week is Going to Be Crazy)!!!

Sensory overload!!!!!!!

Pretty much that is how my life has been...I procrastinated SO much over the weekend that I will have a majorly crazy week this week. MAJORLY...Here goes: tomorrow I have to do some major studying for a bio test because that's the last day I can take it. ( This test is going to be a doozy, too; you can't make up or guess any of the answers. You have to know them! Question: At what light frequency is photosynthesis optimal? Answer: between 425 and 675 nm.) And for the first time in my BYU history, I will have to pay the $5 late fee to take the test. Also tomorrow, I have my weekly volunteering at Wasatch Elementary and then three and a half hours of class. To add to that, I'm supposed to go the library and watch Modern Times before my Humanities class. Additionally (can you tell that I have written one too many college papers?), I have a duet piece to write so that I can collaborate with my partner on Tuesday. I haven't even started on it yet; it's in A minor, 30 bars in 9/8 that sound like an earthquake. And I'm supposed to write it using Finale, which my partner showed me how to use, but I've never actually used the program before...If that isn't enough, I'm going to start my diet again tomorrow because I pretty much fail at keeping myself healthy without staying on it. I can't go half-way on anything; it's either all or nothing! The past couple of days, I haven't exercised at all and I ate an entire box of Swiss Rolls (Saturday) and 1/3 of a Betty Crocker Party Chip Cake today! I'm FAT!!! But do I care? That is tbd.
The same thing has happened to my piano practice; things can get so hectic here at college that I haven't gotten around to practicing since I finished auditions at the end of January. All or nothing...not a very good concept...I think that my brain isn't wired correctly. Speaking of auditions, I found out at the beginning of the week that I didn't get into the School of Music here at BYU. I went and had a chat with my piano professor, Dr. Hancock, after I found this out. (That was not a good day for me; I looked like a wreck and in fact, that was the first time I cried about anything (besides leaving my family) since before fall semester started in September.) Anyways, Dr. Hancock decided to ask the administrators if there was any way that they could fit me into the general Music B.A. degree here, which I have come to think would be a very good fit for me. No word yet on if they will let me in or not, but it seems that they may be the last hope for me to get a degree in music of any kind. Dr. Hancock really petitioned them hard, so I am grateful to him, whether or not I actually get into the program. And this week, I'm going to try and meet with the head of the Media Music degree, the degree which I didn't get in to, and see if I have any other options. I want music to be my life, but if I can't even get this far, is it really meant to be?

The rest of the week is not going to be any easier. I have a mid-term in Humanities that I haven't even started studying for yet and a major project in Biology that I'm going to have to completely re-work. I wanted to study the times and conditions at which crickets start chirping at night, but as it turns out, there are no crickets where I live. So I think that I'm going to change it to a study of what times and conditions at which birds start chirping in the morning. Which means that I will have to get up at sunrise for the next couple of weeks...AAAUGGGHHH!

On top of all of this, I'm still looking for a job. I've interviewed for four different ones over the course of a few weeks, but I didn't get the job each time. I've applied on-line, too, but still, nothing has come up.

And right now, I'm mad at the library, too, because I have a major fine on my card for something that I returned and they lost. So I also have to go and file an appeal at the library so they can fix it.

I think I'm going to die...
