Away again

Tomorrow morning I'm heading to Ellensburg. I didn't actually go on Saturday because I wasn't sure if I'd be taking classes fall quarter. I finally contacted Dr. Gries and he said that we would work it out so I could get what I needed. I'm going there with my mom and Rena. Other than getting my stuff together, Rena is also going to check out the campus seen as she's transferring there. We're also going to get an apartment. Right now there is a promising two-bedroom for $550 a month. I'm also going to take that time to apply for a few jobs. I wonder if I'd do good as a server? I'm probably a lot more competent at it than a lot of the other servers out there. And I could get the hours that I need also.

After that, me and Rena are going to head to camp. Again. We're going to be working at the Evergreen State Fair, delivering ice to vendors. WOOT! The Evergreen State Fair is in Monroe, so living at camp is perfect. We'll be there about a week and a half, hopefully we'll get a decent place to live up at camp.

Guess what happened tonight? Francis called me and said, "Listen to this". At that point, I head my entire Phi Mu Alpha chapter start singing the Sinfonian Anthem. It was their first meeting of the year. It was so awesome. It feels really nice to know that even though I'm no longer there, they are still my brothers. So for all of my brothers out there: OAS AAS LLS!

I'm so frustrated right now. Dr. Gries, the music dept. Chair, has not emailed me back about the details of my class enrollment. For you who don't know, I was only able to enroll in two out of the eight classes I needed to enroll in. The rest are full of underclassmen. These are the only classes that I can take. I gave him a week. Tomorrow I'm headed to Ellensburg with my mom and fiance. The original plan was to look for apartments. Now, I'm going there to figure out whether or not I'm going to be enrolled for fall quarter or not. I'm not going to spend money for an apartment for only two classes! That's bullshit. I'll be just as happy taking the quarter off and getting a full time job around here. Then I can maybe earn enough money for my college that my parents will actually be happy with me. My mom is pissed at me because I didn't take care of this in late July during the Transfer Student Orientation. She said I should have just taken a day off from camp, that this was more important. Does she even realize what the fuck my job is? I'm the Program Director! I can't take a day off! I think I have done a good job at directing her anger toward the university instead of me. Sometimes I wonder just how much I really have to do to make my parents proud of me. I'm just glad that Rena will be with me tomorrow and we'll be spending the rest of the weekend at camp, my escape from the frustrations of life. I just want to be graduated and get a job and settle down with Rena. I've done enough work in college. It's bullshit that a Music Ed. Degree is so much harder than other bachelor degrees. Maybe I'm just ranting, I don't know. I just need to get some closure, one way or the other.

Engagement

I know I said I would post how my summer went, but there's just too much to talk about. It would be pages upon pages long. I got other news though, I proposed to Rena last Saturday. And best of all, she said yes! Score one for me. Anyways, we just picked up her ring today and it is beautiful. She loves it. We're planning on having the wedding in late spring, so I expect that at least a few of my brothers should be able to make it. Ahem... Francis! We're thinking late May. Well, I can't stay on here for too much longer. Just wanted everybody to know.

New Blog

Well, I think I'm going to give up on trying to save my old blog. For some reason I can't view it anymore, although I can post. So please give me a little time while I get me a new chatterbox and comments and links. At least I get a new, cool template to host my new blog on. Maybe I should go and start telling people my new blog address, eh?

I'm back

Well, I'm back from the summer. It's really late right now so I'm not going to go into a lot of it right now. I'll probably find some time to post tomorrow, so be ready for a long post. However, I'm sleepy right now.
