We had afterschool practice today at the field. I did get to try my new reeds out, but I couldn't really tell what they sounded like considering that I had to breathe almost every measure to get the air to make a sound. I squeaked a lot too. It was odd too, because when I moved up from a rico 3.5 to a rico royal 4, I didn't really have to adjust. Adjusting to my new Vandorens has almost been as horrible as when I went from a 2 to a 2.5. Then I could barely play a note on a 2.5 without panting and I was in tears because of it. Today I could easily hear the [sarcasm]rest of the clarinets playing their hearts out.[/sarcasm]

*Yawn* Hey guys, long time no rant :3 This ends my second week in college, and I'm having fun taking millions of classes x___x Um, I go to Fullerton JC, but I'm 1st chair of the 11 clarinets, so that's fine by me. Today I met this one guy who used to sit second chair under my former section leader in the all southern band. He had TWO full Boehm clarinets... that's $8,000 EACH. ********. But he's good. He can't play Spohr yet either, but he showed me the piece he uses for auditions and I had a (little) heart attack. He's gonna copy it and give me a recording, and he won't join symphonic band and steal my chair from me (he's just here for a scholarship, he's 20 btw). Anyways, I feel like I teach half the music classes I'm in, lol. Again, fine by me :3 I'm taking 19.5 units right now, and only German, math, and Aikido are non music. Did I mention I still work 2 days a week? And need to practice 5 hours a week for lab hours for applied (free lessons pretty much). Um, I don't know what else to say... I still play on my 2 R-13s (Bb and A) with M15 and M14 mouthpieces and strength 5 Vandoren 56s. Questions?

Why do you feel left out? That's like saying you feel left out when you're on a battlefield and everyone else is dead! You should feel happy because you got into the music program, other people have never experienced the joy of music/squeaking their heads off/managing to chew gum or eat candy while playing without killing the instrument.

Speaking of candy, today I brought[bootlegged] fruit snacks into band. I shared them with the whole back row of clarinets, which was Chelsey D, Chelsey G, me(Sarah, if you didn't know my actual name), Tara, Shawnda, Marissa?, and Maura?. That is like the pinnicle of guilty pleasure.

Today my German teacher was talking about the foreign exchange program. She knows boys (I think her son is one of them) that went to Germany for some of their college years and they liked it so much that they decided to stay. I want to be a foreign exchange student someday. And maybe pick up a third language. Maybe Japanese or Spanish.

Our school district has now employed a new "Wellness Policy." They're now serving only what they consider healthy food in the cafeteria. The teachers aren't allowed to give candy as rewards. But they're allowed to give us carrot cake, zuccini bread, yogurt, or fruits and veggies instead. Only a couple rooms in the school have refrigerators: teachers lounge, cooking class, and cafeteria. Cooking classes aren't even allowed to make anything with sugar in it. Teachers and students aren't allowed to sell any type of candy. I always got most of my band candy bar sales from school. The teacher who is also a sports coach sells it to benifit the athletic programs. they aren't allowed to do that any more. evil mad scream gonk

Sorry for the semi-rant, but I'm not happy about it and I'm thinking of bootlegging candy into school and selling it anyway.

Oh, and about the wellness policy...it's not going to change our eating habits. Kids are just going to go home and eat junk anyway. At our age, it's pretty much too late to change our eating habits, especially when we resist.

D: you're right but everyone has been playing for so long crying sweatdrop >< I had mock chair placements two times in a row...[I thought they were real until i hear my BD say, "SEATING TEST TOMORRROW!" stare ] and so far I have gotten FIRST CHAIR!! heart twice smile . The first time was like...perfect...okay not perfect since I sorta went piano on my low f when i finished....but I didn't shake for like 30 seconds [my bd was like eek ] and he was like, "WOAH! WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR TONE?? what did you do all summer??" me: biggrin .... lol second time...YUCK! D: on the high D i think I made a rhythm mistake and went to the second octave D to redo it...then when I went back down I went to like G O_o;!! and I took a breath on my F....DX ahh! Okay, enough about me ~_~;;

xD Lol even if I could chew gum w/o damaging my instrument, my BD would STAB me [literally] he looked like he was close to stabbing the 14th sax a year ago ^^

mm yummy....:3. Fruit snacks are good right?? ninja as in good for you? xD i thought they were....OHH! we have the wellness policy too...personally it makes the food more of bad quality in my opinion...~_~ well iono...but the spagetti looked horrifying gonk . =_= i hate the policy... crying !!

yes it won't change the eating habits ~_~ do they not have minds?? -_-; I don't really eat lunch though...I usually spend that time doing hw...drawing or practicing...thanks to the damn rotating schedule [WHY THE DKJFI SHOULD WE HAVE THAT??] I can't practice in the band room till I find out this week when mr. a eats lunch the same time we do ._.;. the rotating schedule isn't gonna help our brains rolleyes

uhh so anyways

oooh surprised that sounds like fun!! heart ^^ I'd love to learn Japanese more heart
