8:28 PM - I need some meaning I can memorize

The spring semester of my junior year begins on tuesday on a wonderful note. I am now a Music/Writing major, the only one at my spectacular establishment. Life should be quite interesting this semester. I plan to go no hold barred on the academics (my past includes an abundance of extra-curricular activities, now it won't). And for once I just might make music #2 NOOO #1.5 *gasp*... Yes hard to believe I started reading the writing book before the Beethoven book, or the Burkholder. With close to 35-40 credits in music alone I think writing deserves a little attention, and music right behind it. I am TAing the Electro Acoustic Music course which is going to be a blast and a half and a totally open class format. In fact right now I am waiting to see after next wed, and friday what my role is as a TA it will be decided in part by me, prof, and students which is cool. This method comes from John Tagg's Learning Paradigm which is the biggest buzz at UMF since we were named #1 for the umpteenth year in a row in our category in US News college guide. Without reflection I forget how cool of a place I go to school is and how I wonder what it must be like to go to a school where your one of a million people. I was part of a Strategic Planning On-Campus Retreat this past wed. The school is changing to a 4 cr. system next fall, the academic curriculums have been completed now its the student side of it, re-allocation of funds and all that goodness. I had so much fun at the meetings brainstorming, making points etc. It felt like the trip to Quebec. And everything that everyone, staff, fac, and students came up with its probably going to be taken seriously which is amazing within itself. Now that I have readied myself for the semester next week (at the beginning of the week I was far from being ready) I think its going to be great, I am starting off on the right footing. I have a list of paper topics I want to tackle, possibly publishing in the newspaper, new major, TAing (which includes concert trips, composing, all sorts of stuff who knows yet), yeah, this semester is going to be good.
