| There are only six weeks left of school and I am not counting down the days. I am however, counting down the days until HP and the OOTP movie....AND MOST IMPORTANTLY.....HP and the DH book! I started reading HP when I was a junior in high school and now as I am approaching graduation of college (sort of) the series will conclude. I know many people do not care...I understand, I HATE STAR WARS!!! But I will soon begin to re-re-re-re-re-re-re-read the books to catch up for the DH!
Life is OK. I am confused by plenty of things. Including: How I feel like I learned nothing this semester and there is only six weeks left and WOMEN. But theres no need to talk anymore bout those things because I will probably just put it on the back burner like I always do.
Good news...I passed everything on my Student Teaching Review except transposition. That means I passed sight-singing. I will repeat that....I PASSED SIGHT-SINGING.

| I haven't updated in a while, but that is because things are going crazy this time of the year. However, it is Spring Break and I finally have some time. Quick updates: I lost around twenty pounds on my diet, but put ten back on. BOO!!! I qualified for Student Conductor's Concert on March 27th. Classes are goin great. Still single and looking, as if there was any doubt about that. Life is good, and I cannot complain. It is good to be home and see my family. Everyone have fun on break and come back to Macomb in one piece!

| DreamsI have had the dream to be an astronaut for a very long time. However, I will never have the chance to do this. But, before I realized that I could not be an astronaut, I gave up on my dream. And the more and more I think about that, it makes me wonder what other dreams have I given up on? There have been a few that recently have me thinking about trying to do these dreams once again. So, I looked up the requirements of be coming an astronaut at NASA.
The applicant must meet the following:
1. Be in the height range of 64" to 76"
2. Have a weight no higher than 250lbs. OR have less than 2% body fat if you weigh more than 250lbs.
3. Sit-up test: Must complete 45 sit-ups in a minute.
4. Sit and Reach test: Must score 16"
5. Push-up test: Must complete 30 push-ups in a minute.
6. Mile and a Half Run: Must complete in under 12 minutes.
7. Bench Press test: Must bench you weight once.
So, these are my goals. I will try to complete the physical requirements of becoming a NASA astronaut. As for the reason why I cannot become an astronaut; my eyesight. However, I WILL meet the goals for NASA even though NASA has told me no.
I refuse to give up on my dreams anymore. I hate that people tell me what I can and cannot do. I will work especially hard on the dreams where people say it is impossible. Not to say that I did the impossible, but to say that I tried and followed my dreams.
Hopefully, I won't let myself quit this time.

| I'm not sure when or how I'm getting home for break. Oh well, I'm sure I will figure it out soon. I saw something interesting on TV last night; they are making All the King's Men into a movie again. There are lots of good actors in it too. It makes me want to read the book again. If you haven't its really good.
Sometimes, I wish that I wasn't so busy and that my friends weren't either. It just seems that I don't hang out with people anymore. Well, besides the few guys that come over all the time. I know that I wanted to focus more on becoming professional with college, but this is a little too extreme.
I taught today in Colchester. I thought I did well. The kids were well behaved and they understood the concept I tried to show. Which is really good. I can't wait to teach and have a job.
Watched DaVinci Code last night. Still a great movie. Watch it.

| Life is Good!!!I am enjoying everything in my life at the moment, well except having no money . My classes are going really well and I still find time to socialize. To keep everyone informed, it has been 45 days since I was last drunk. And to be honest, I don't really miss it. I feel more relaxed and less tempered. I realized that I was an angry person and I now seem to have that under control. PMA is good right now. We have a Kappa Psi Day scheduled and the probationary period is entering the second half. Fun stuff. Advantage is going to take a lot more hard work because the literature we're doing and the number of songs as well. But I think it will be great. Marching Band is getting to the point where its winding down. We are no longer doing show 1 and we are focusing on Show 2 and starting Show 3 for the last three games. Three more games and it is over. Three more games until my personal hardest "Never Walk". Sorry, off topic, I said I wouldn't talk about that. Looking forward to getting to Fall Break and seeing my family. So, as you can tell, all is well. Now all I have to do is make sure it stays this way or improves. And there aren't too many ways it can improve right now, but I'm sure I can think of something. Oh, and its Tuesday!!!
