Part 1

Here is just another update about me, my goals, and what I will be doing this semester.

After some deliberation, I have decided that it would be best for me to not do my radio show and start focusing on the ensembles that I have always been wanting to get into. That's not to say that I may occasionally do an independent podcast when I can. I would like to continue to go to the boiler room to do this open mic thing. It's fun enough and there is a good opportunity to meet some semi-talented people. There are also some pretty talented people there to and THOSE are the people who are really worth some of my free time.

Unfortunately, summer is now over and there are things I have to cut out. I really really want to succeed as a instrumentalist this year and in order to do that, I have to get into gear. My priorities are as follows:

1. Me
I am my most important priority. If I don't feel well or whatever, I should check with that first.

2. School
I am paying too much money not to make this one of my top priorities.

3. Writing/Practicing
These are two key things I don't do enough of and I would like to continue on this momentum I built up over the summer of performing and writing.

4. Work
I need to make some extra scratch somehow...

5. Friends
I feel bad enough that my friends are this low on this list but I hope they understand that the above 4 are very difficult to compete with.

6. Extra Curricular
Priorities here lie on campus first and off second. These include things like Pep Band, Boiler Room, and side bands.

So I will be posting as the school year rolls on and things develop.

Peace Out and Live Well
