Update

A late happy New Year to everyone!

My second semester of college has just started. On the list of classes: accounting, microeconomics, research writing, chemistry appreciation, philosophy of art, and the history of The Beatles. I'm very excited for most of these (especially the last one!). This semester also comes with less distractions than last year.

This is a new year.

I know everyone swears to change during this time of change. I'm not doing that. I'm not changing myself, I'm simply going for the things that I always wanted to follow.

The first big one: I had the chance to tour McNally Smith College of Music over break. For those of you who know my pretty well, you should know that this is a huge deal for me. I will be applying for the Fall semester. I knew I would be transferring from Winona State, but I recently made the decision that I actually want to follow what makes me happy: music. I'm hoping to get into their music business program. I had other suggestions such as U of M Duluth. I have a bunch of friends up there, but I turned it down for many reasons (none of which have anything to do with other people who plan on going there). Also on the list were St. Benedict, North Hennepin, and Moorhead.

Second: Winter break was really eye-opening for me. I had a couple bad days (family, seeing certain people while I was working, some drama), but I got to see the people I really wanted to talk to. During the rough periods, I found the people that were always going to stick by my side.

Third: I have something. It's not quite a relationship, but it's not quite a friendship. All I know is that I have someone that I am close to that supports where I'm going in my life. It's much less of a mess than my last "whatever the hell it was". That's my biggest resolution: to forget that that entire situation happened. It was possibly the most painful and stressful part of my life. However, it taught me to follow my heart and not the pretty words that people use to cover up their true feelings. All I can say is that I wish them the best.

Fourth: I'm playing a big part in booking bands right now.

Agh. If you feel like chatting about any of this, send me a message. I have to go to class!
