Hello 2011!

Wow, I've had this blog for less than a month and I'm already slacking. My sincere apologies.
Well, as enjoyable as my days have been here in Bdorf, I am definitely ready to get back to college life at UNI. I miss the music classes & rehearsals and most of all I miss my bitches.
So i just got back from meeting with my high school band director, Drew Anderson. He studied with Dr. Grabowski at UNI too, which is pretty cool. He's a great mentor to me. I played for him and he said my sound has improved a lot since high school, which is awesome.
Oh wanna hear about my New Year's Eve celebrations? Yes. Yes you do. Ok so my girl Leah Christensen and I spent the evening getting ourselves into all sorts of shenanigans. First I got my cartilage pierced! It was totally spontaneous. Then we came back to my  house and felt sorry for ourselves for about an hour because we didn't have any real plans. We finally got dressed up and went to dinner at Chili's. After dinner, we drover over to a place called The Lodge. It's a hotel/restaurant thing that just happened to be having a NYE party! So we totally crashed the dance party in the ballroom and rocked out to disco music with the 50+ crowd. It was fucking awesome. After that we came back to my house and... well... you can only imagine. Let's just say January 1st, 2011 consisted of me sleeping all day, on the verge of blowing chunks. Totally worth it?? Hell yeah.
So my new years resolutions?
- Get a lot of trumpet practicing in (2+ hours a day)
- Allow myself to make mistakes & don't beat myself up when I do
- Lose some weight - Eat healthy, exercise, and all that jazz
- Deal with my shopping addiction
- No procrastinating (yeah right)
- Stop being a bitch... Wait... Who am i kidding? That will never happen.
Perhaps I'll add to this list at a later date.
Anyways... I've got places to be & people to see, so PEACE.

P.S.: If you missed 60 Minutes last night, you should totally look it up online and watch the portion on Wynton Marsalis and JALC. It was awesome.
