mid-april thoughts
posted april 14, 2024yall. okay lets start the blog
soo.. march went by really fast. my last two weeks were filled up by spring break (which was nice) but now i've been getting back into the swing of things and .. it's kind of miserable. i'm not a huge school person (i mean i get good grades but it's not like i'm actually trying at anything, it's more like i'm just filling in info) so i'm ready to get out of the building. and i'm stressing about college. LOL!
i know that college is a huge step and it's another stepping stone into being like. a big "adult" yay (i'm turning 18 over the summer) but i have absolutely 0 clue what i'm going to do. my passion is for music. for a long time, i've always wanted to go into that. i want to be a band director because i love teaching (i've been a student helper for band classes and in that experience i was able to actually teach some and was hands-on with students) and it's even better when it's something that i love so much like band.
however, the problem is this: my school doesn't offer marching band. of literally any kind. we have concert band and we have pep band (aka basketball band for those who have other names for it) and that's it. and the colleges that are close to me that i'm considering going to don't offer marching either. this is a problem because it'll be harder for me to find a school once i'm out of colleg ethat will hire me on no marching experience. some other schools up north offer marching bands but i didn't really want to go up north. the two closest schools to me are like 15 minutes for one and 45 for the other. so let's just say that i am stressed.
other than that, track season has been in full swing! i had my first saturday meet yesterday (the 13th) and i did pretty well. i wasn't really expecting to place in anything because it's a bigger meet and there's multiple heats and stuff so i really just went to have fun. my nose did get sunburnt, though. all my other days are full of track practice and the occasional throwing practice. when i'm not at track, i'm at home or like 1 day a week i get to go over to my girlfriend's house.
for the rest of this month my goal is literally just to get through it. my school gets out NEXT MONTH!! and then i'm on summer break. prom is this upcoming saturday and i need to worry about what i'm going to do for my hair. i'm excited for that because we're actually having prom close to our school for once and then afterprom will be at the school. they give away so much money there so yall bet i'm staying there the whole time it's open. i have like, one track meet a week and this week it's on thursday.
as for the website, i want to start adding in some new things "content"-wise and really expand just past a blank layout that i made. i want to add like.. music stuff (because i am just so passionate lmao), i already added in the artbook which will be updated whenever i have new art, and i'm gonna delve into the collections pages.. sometime. i'm not entirely sure when. i really like when people add in like secret pages and stuff but i'm afraid that with the layout i have going on that i'm not going to be able to fit everything in the way that i want it to. i really like the layout so i don't want to mess with it but i also hate going against it. i'm sure i'll figure something out.
oh okay and now that i'm thinking about it i watched quiet on set on saturday and it was really good but in like a. this is good information way and like a there's a sick feeling at the bottom of my throat way. i do recommend you watch it unless you are sensitive to topics like that. please look up some actual reviews before you delve in! there are some sensitive topics that they cover.
so i think i'm gonna wrap up now, but here are my top 3 current songs:
