Well we just got storms for the third night in a row, and luckily nobody came out in their jockstraps and played football. Thanks be to the Lord God Almighty. But one person in a long sleave shirt almost naked from the waist down (the only one thanks God again) was in his jockstrap. Everyone else was in their swimming shorts, or suits because some girls were there too. But it's raining yet again, and we are defineatly going to get some flooding.

Today was Dead Day and I did get some stuff done. No interviews again! I am so stupid! I've got to do them ASAP otherwise just BS my way through a paper but that's not a good idea. I got one quote from mom and that's it. I'll use it but of course I'm going to need more. I've got some free days ahead of me. But I have a paper due on friday. 12-20 pages. I'm scared. I got a little bit (emphasis on little) done tonight but mostly I read for it. I'm also about half done with both my diction and communications final. I think I've got a pretty good start. I'm now going to read something for seminar, and then I'm going to bed. Bobby has an 8:00 percussion final so we've both got to get to bed plenty early.

My CD rom was being a dickhead earlier [thunder] and wouldn't copy some songs from my burned Jean Luc Ponty CD's. I want to put the 4 part suite of enigmatic ocean together so nothing would be cut off, because each song fades into one another. It's not like that in many of his other suites, such as the struggle of the turtle to the sea. Wow. Enigmatic ocean is an AWESOME album! If you like jazz, especially fusion, and you don't have it, GET IT. It's Jean Luc Ponty's best album!

I totally got confused on my piano profeciency today. I was really confused so I rescheduled to take the "easier" proficiency on Monday. The weird thing is this proficiency looks harder than the other one, which gets you out of everything. But if I don't pass this (hopefully I will) I'll have a pretty easy A so it won't be too bad. I hope. I think my piano skills, technically, are really lacking. I mean, I can play artistically really well, I can compose and stuff on the piano, but my technicality is putting those 8 or 9 years to waste. For playing that long I suck.

Today was the School fo Music picnic, and there was this squirrel there that was not afraid of me. It came right up to me and took food out of my hand! It was so cute. When he grabbed the bread I could feel his little claws. It was so neat. I think it was a baby because it had very short hair and it's tail wasn't really bushy. Bobby said it was ghetto tail. Anyway, Mary Ellen Poole and Neal Smith both got pied for the faculty, and Clayton and Bobbi got pied for the students. I want to be pied next year! I'm joining MENC next year, not for that reason, though.

Here is the current stats:
Countdown:
7 days till I go home
4 finals
2 papers

I need as much prayer and luck as I can get to get through the next week with flying colors... I need to get A's on all my finals. I have got to do well or else I lose my scholarship and bye bye Millikin hello school I don't want to go to I go.
