Famous Last Words: Getting Started

Famous Last Words: Getting Started

Other classes: things are getting a little hectic. I'm not sure if it is just in the spirit of getting the semester started or what but I felt like I was going to bed late most nights. I understand that schooling is important, and I'm so close to being done but this past week just flew by and as I'm sitting here preparing for the next one, I hope that I can have a little bit more control over the events that happen and the rate at which they happen. For example, I got a bunch of stuff sprung on me Monday night (wait, I remember... it was that absolutely torrential downpour that hit Norman!) My car doesn't handle rain well at all, so I was stuck on the road trying to get home for a long time. I think that it took me double my usual time, so it took me close to an hour to get home on Monday. Then I had a couple meetings over Zoom, including a meeting for my job so that was unexpected but necessary. Then I got home and wasn't able to do the 2 hours of IE coursework like I had planned, so that kinda threw me off kilter for the week as I felt I was trying to catch up. My Tuesdays and Thursdays are usually significantly busier than my Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays (or so it appears on paper... in reality, I'm not so sure). So trying to do coursework late at night on the night it's due is unfortunate but I suppose that that's just how stuff rolls. I'm wondering if this is just taking a second to get re-adjusted to the grind of academia, or maybe it's because I'm actually doing a lot this semester. Either way, I hope that it levels out quickly because I don't particularly want to be this stressed for the rest of the semester.

  Introduction Post What is your major? What is the coolest thing about your major? I am a Music Performance major, and the coolest part about my major is that I get to train to play in professional ensembles while developing my musicianship. What was the best class you took last semester? Why? The best class that I took last semester was Advanced Orchestration. It was a fun class because we got to analyze a few major works and understand why they work so well for orchestra.  What were your biggest accomplishments last semester? Between my senior capstone and honors research, I wrote about 60 pages and worked up two famous concertos. Favorite books, movies, TV shows — Best movie you saw recently? Best book you read? My favorite TV shows are Bojack Horseman, Avatar: the Last Airbender, and the Legend of Korra. The best movie I saw recently was Bandersnatch and the best book I recently read is Dragon Rider. Favorite music — you might even even embed a music video if you want! th...

Microfictions, Week 9: Red Horse and War

Preface: If you haven't already, you should check out the previous installments in the series:  Part 1: White Horse and Pestilence    Red Horse: As Eren rode into town, an eerie red light enveloped the village. The blood-red sky cloaked the innocent villagers, but that wasn't the only effect she saw. People were irrationally angry with each other, screaming over things that seemed objectively minute. As Eren rode in closer, she noticed that the militia had been assembled. She asked the captain why the group was assembled.  "We're sick and tired of the village over stealing all of our food! We're going to march over and demand that they give it back!" he yelled in a rather uncouth manner. It seemed as though this night was far from over. War was here. War : Blood red light shone ever bright and true It was then that she knew just what to do Author's Note: I thought that it would be really cool to do a series on the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, so I deci...
