http://transplantedcdn.blogspot.com The site's still somewhat under construction, but I think it's ok. I know it works in Internet Explorer and Mozilla (which means it also works on Netscape), although the two are somewhat dissimilar. Oh well...close enough. This one will still be here for a month, but then it will be deleted. It's ok, though, because I have all of the entries archived on my hard drive, so nothing will be lost! It even keeps the current music and mood too, so as soon as I find out how to add those to the new blog, they will be there too. It will be time-consuming, but will be great when I get it fully the way I want it. Looking at it now, I found something! It'll be a hobby...like I need another one *note sarcasm*. If you want an update, you'll have to go there! Love you all, and I'll send emails with the link too! Talk to you on blogspot! |

Friday...Chemistry was the usual, Music was cool (we're watching the Young People's Concerts by Leonard Bernstein), and Cal was enlightening...I finally got the stuff he was saying all last week. Lunch was really good--GDH actually made some really good Sweet & Sour chicken. Another perfect day too. The meeting went well with the Residence Life person, and I'm officially in the Infirmary next year. I went back to the room and opened all the windows and finished my Chem lab that I forgot was due by 5, got absorbed in that and almost forgot about my advising appointment. That went well, and then I went to the studio to chill during the Emily's show. Emily D and I ran some errands for her during Justin's show, and then we came back for Richard's. Justin wanted to go out to eat, but he realized he lost $30 or $40! We looked for it a bit, and then headed to Laurens to eat there. I came back and went to the DO thing 'til 1am. We turned off all the lights in Belk Auditorium and played sardines (reverse hide-and-go-seek), and I got hurt as usual. I'm still limping around. Before that we watched an episode of Mystery Science Theater 3000 where they were making fun of an old informational movie made by the Conn company, like 50s era, called Mr. B Natural. Except Mr. B Natural was a woman. The movie was so cheesy it was scary. Some good inside jokes have come out of it though. After sardines we watched Wayne's World and played Catch Phrase, and then the party broke up. I came back and went to bed, and Ryan had been in Clemson lending someone his sound equipment. He snuck in at 2 and it scared the crap out of me when he turned over in the morning and moved the bed...I thought he was gone all night! Which brings me to Saturday... I woke up at 10 and was starving so I bugged Emmaly to eat with me but she didn't. Ryan and I actually went to lunch together, and Ryan stopped on the slip and slide on the way down...it was accepted students day, so people made themselves seen and stuff. We got there before all the accepted students did, so that was good. I looked for Lauren Crump in the groups, but found Tanja instead, which was good. I went back up to the slip and slide and did one of those but hurt myself and didn't do it anymore. All the parents proceeded to walk by, and I saw the Crumps and ran to the room to shower, and then went back down to GDH to wait for them. Talked to them in a little and then talked to Emmaly and went back to Belk to practice. The Emilys and Justin and Dan were outside playing Cranium and Scattergories so I joined them. That's when we lost Richard....Justin and Emily E went to Wal-Mart to pick up a big ball and a whiffle ball set and Emily D., Dan, and I chilled on the lawn waiting for them. They came back and ambushed us with water guns they bought, and then we played baseball and kickball, and Lewis got injured too. By the time we were done everybody hurt somewhere. We went to dinner, and called Richard's cell to tell him if he wasn't back in 24 hours we were reporting him missing...we were joking, but we really did wonder where he was....Anyway I had to go and practice after that, and then I came back and Justin and Emily D. were hanging out in Lewis's room. Richard finally came back and ran by the door, and we all chased him down the hall and beat him with the plastic bat. Apparently he went to see his sister at Furman. We wanted to go do something but couldn't decide what, so we called Emily E. over to watch Kung Pow: Enter the Fist because she hadn't seen it. It's the stupidest and most random movie on the face of the planet, but it's still hilarious. If you want to lose a few IQ points without having to drink yourself into a stupor (for all those college students out there), I would recommend it. Bed after that. This morning I got up and started my PE project and worked on that for awhile before Richard barged in, woke Ryan up, and made me get out of my PJs. We went to lunch, and then decided we were actually going to do our jazz radio show. So, we burned our CDs and I cleaned the room and got my PE stuff together and worked on it while we did the show, and completed it. Dinner, another tour of the infirmary, and then back to the room to talk to mommy and daddy. Richard, Emilys, Justin, and I randomly decided to do our laundry at the laundromat, so I put the stuff in the washing machines and they took it out while I was at jazz practice. It went ok...not as well as I would like, but still. When we got to my solo I swear I had a panic attack and just stared at the music and just sat there. It was bad. Anyway, started this thing when I got back and am still working on it because of all the interruptions. Courtney called, and now I'm finishing this before I get to bed. Sorry it's so long. I apparently can backdate these things, but I don't feel like learning how now 'cuz I don't feel very well. Sleepy. Night night. |

It was an absolutely perfect day. I mean, really. Sunny, not too hot or cold, a slight breeze, not a cloud in the Carolina blue sky. Absolute heaven. And I had to spend it cooped up in classes and the like. grr. Got up to the jerks on the morning radio show trying to call Donald Trump to get him to say "You're fired." Apparently his lawyers threatened them with a lawsuit if they kept calling, so they won't be doing that anymore. It was sort of amusing. Did the normal morning stuff, then went off to NT. Again, Dr. Bryant didn't ramble and it was a good class. He's my advisor, so I have a meeting with him tomorrow. He said he was looking forward to it...which makes me wonder a bit. Anyway, PE was, well PE. We have a test next Tues., and then we start presenting our projects that I have done little work on. I knew this would happen...I have a concert, PE test, Cal test, and more to prepare for next week, so I can't go to Drumline State this weekend in Rock Hill :( Oh well. Cal was confusing, and then lunch was good with the friends. Came back to the room, opened the windows, and got my schedule all worked out for next semester so I could show Dr. Bryant tomorrow. Off to my lesson, and we worked a little bit on my Jazz band music, so that was cool. Sent some more emails and stuff regarding declaring my major and the like, then went to jazz band. Mr. Bair handed me my solo today that I have to play on Monday, so if you need me I'll be in the practice rooms in Belk for the remainder of the weekend :P I came back to the room again, got snazzied up to do artsy stuff tonight, and then went and grabbed a quick sannich at GDH before going to the Senior Art Exhibit. My fellow T. Sax player's work was on display, and I had to go and support her. There were some beautiful pieces. It's a great exhibit. Back up to the other end of the campus to see a musical performance. Dr. Stokes got on his high horse and gave everyone a lecture about concert etiquette from the back of the auditorium. It was both funny and scary at the same time. The concert lasted forever, and it was mediocre, in my opinion. Came back here at 10 when it was over, and strangely had the desire to run a virus scan and a spyware scan on my computer. What I found was not good. I had a keylogger virus, which means everything I typed was being recorded and sent to some hacker who wanted that info. And earlier today, I used my credit card to buy a song off of Napster, so I naturally typed my card number. Which meant there was a possibility that the hacker had my credit card number, and that would not do. So, I get on the Wachovia website and find the number to call to cancel the card. I call, and the nice lady tells me that a new card was sent earlier, and if I activated it, the card I was using would be deactivated. So I call Mom at 10:45pm and ask her to find the card and activate it so nobody steals money from me. Luckily she found it, and did so, so I think I'm ok. whew. I cleaned the virus (hopefully) and talked to Courtney for a quick minute, and now I'm going to bed. Goodnight, folks. It's gonna be a busy weekend :P |

I have had a good week! And today was really good! Chemistry went pretty well, and we're listening to a lot of Romantic music in Music. I like Romantic period music! Dr. Bryant didn't ramble incoherently in New Testament today, so I got something good out of it. We're learning minor scales in Piano, and they're hard, especially because I don't know them off the top of my head on sax like I do the Major scales. So they're hard. Really hard. An interesting lunch with Emmaly--we discussed dreams, and I got a little scared. Back to the room to chill for a couple minutes before lab. I ran into Whilden on the way down to lab, and he told me that one of the guys was for sure getting off the application for the infimary, so I was in. Happiness ensued. In lab we did titrations, and it took FOREVER! We didn't mess up (which would have been really bad if we did, because it took 3 weeks to make the solution we were titrating!). No time between lab and Wind Ensemble, which was a woodwind sectional and boring. In the piece we played a lot today, we have something like 76 measures of rest in a row. snooze. Came back to the room for a minute and Daddy told me we got a new boat! It's a 1980 O'Day 30. It looks niiice! This makes me very happy. Now I need some time off in the summer to sail on it! Dinner with almost all my friends, and then we got into the infirmary to scope out the living conditions. The rooms are huge! They are more than big enough for 3 guys. I'm looking forward to it! And two of my bestest friends, Richard and Justin, will probably be my roommates, so that's even cooler! Back to the room to talk to Dad some more and get the story about the boat, and then Courtney, and then Dad again, and now I'm helping Courtney with French homework. I need to read some Bible, so that's why I'm doing this now, because I have a feeling I will crash early. I have a busy rest of the week: meetings with my advisor and the Residence Life guy about the paperwork for the infirmary, and the Delta Omicron thing is on Friday night, and I think I have a couple tests and other stuff next week, so it'll be a busy weekend and next week. Wow...I'm really busy now. Crap...I liked relaxing.... |

Oh, and I'm sorry about the l33t stuff to all of you who think it's amazingly annoying. It's a phase, and I'll get over it eventually. I'll try my best to not use it in normal conversation! Speaking of phases, it's a blink-182 and Incubus phase. I get a new CD and listen to it until I get sick of it, or get a new one. I think it's time for a new CD, 'cuz I can't get the songs from those out of my head, or stop playing them. Anyway, the day was pretty uneventful. Speeding through the rest of our Music class, as we're running out of time. PE went longer than usual. Chilled in the room for an hour and then went to Cal. Apparently they're renovating Jacobs, because it looked like a construction zone in there! Tried to follow Dr. Goeckel, but to no avail. Longish lunch with friends, where I found out the guys I was going to live in the Infirmary with are getting to live there. Apparently there are now 3 guys that might not be living there next semester, and they said I was the first alternate, so there is still hope. I don't currently have a roommate for next year, so I'm hoping that situation will come to fruition. Back to the room to do some important stuff regarding scheduling for next year and stuff like that, and then to jazz band. We're finally getting rhythms and articulations and stuff together, but there's no feeling in it. It's dead in the water. The instructors are yelling at us, and I'm doing what I can but it doesn't help if the whole band doesn't participate...grr. Dinner with the Emilys and Richard (which was fun) and then to Springs to play a quick game of billiards against Emily E. before going back to the room to get crackin' on the Cal homework. Spent most of the night on that, including a trip over to Dr. Goeckel's office where he keeps the notes from class. However, the notes from today were not there, so I just wasted time. Worked a little bit after that until the Delta Omicron people came by to give me my invitation to be in the music fraternity here! It's more like an honor society than a frat, but it's still pretty cool! Talked to Courtney for a bit, and now I'm winding down and losing energy fast. I'll talk at you all soon! |

Now to the important stuff. Wednesday morning was pretty uneventful, for a Wednesday. I think I did really well on my Piano quiz, and lab was pretty easy. I couldn't wait for Wind Ensemble to end, because afterwards Dad and Brad were picking me up for the JOHN MAYER CONCERT! (along with my having reed problems). We got out early and they couldn't come quick enough! They picked me up and we started the trek to Greenville, stopping on the way to get me some food at Arby's before going to the Bi-Lo Center. We finally found a place to park in some old lady's yard who was letting people park there for 5 bucks. We get down in front of where the Tour Buses were parked, and Dad asks me if I've got the tickets, when I promptly remembered that I left them sitting on the seat beside me in the van. Brad ran back to the van and Dad and I called Laura to see where she was. Brad comes back up and we head to the main entrance to wait for Laura to find a parking spot. Finally she gets there and jumps into my arms in a flying hug, and then does the same for Brad and Dad. We get in after the prerequisite metal detecting and searching, and then the search for an ATM and a bathroom was on. Dad and I hunted for the ATM because Brad and I wanted tour t-shirts...as Dad says, "they love to sell you money at these things"...the fee was $2.50! And then we pay for $30 for the shirts! They're nice shirts, though. Then it was concert time! Dad and I went down to find our seats while Laura tried to get some money too. We find our totally awesome seats, and wait with much anticipation. Guster comes on, and I quickly decided that I didn't like them. Their drummer has a really cool idea, though...his entire set consisted of hand drums which of course he played with his hands. He was really cool. After an intermission it was finally time for John to go on! Woohoo! He got the crowd going with Bigger Than my Body first, then went into My Stupid Mouth if my memory serves me correctly. Here's the set list in no particular order: Bigger Than My Body My Stupid Mouth Something's Missing Clarity Great Indoors Why Georgia Your Body is a Wonderland Love Soon Home Life Hummingbird (a new one off his upcoming album) No Such Thing Daughters 83 And mentioned last but not least....COME BACK TO BED! (and the crowd goes wild!) Come Back to Bed was totally amazing. Indescribable. My eyes got a little teary, even. After the last chorus, he went into a characteristic CBTB solo that went on forever. He played for a while, and then decided he'd do a little comedy routine too...he started having a conversation with his guitar, where his guitar was his girlfriend who wanted to "talk"...fellas, you know what I mean. It was hilarious. He ended the conversation with "And then she [edit] went off on me" and started into an amazing solo again. He started playing above the nut! and behind his back Stevie Ray Vaughan-style...it was sooo good, and sooo much fun. During the encore (83) the whole band (except the drum and horn players) switched instruments and John did a bass solo. The whole thing was a pretty long set, in retrospect. I tried to record some of it on my PDA, but it was too loud for my poor mic that close to the stage *smirks*. I think the data's irreparable, so all that effort is lost. That's way too bad. OH! and they had a Tenor Sax and trumpet player, for the Heavier Things stuff! That was sooo good too. I had so much fun. John Mayer is a guitar god, and he plays the crowd almost as well as he plays his instruments. I got back about 11:30, and then Dad and Brad had two hours after that...I feel sorry for them, but I'm sure it was worth it. Ok, well this is sooo long, so I will do another entry for today later. |

Reluctantly got up this morning, did the normal stuff, actually ate something, stayed awake and felt smart in Chemistry, tied up some loose ends about stuff this week, then went to New Testament. For some reason I had to try and stay awake, and didn't really catch anything Dr. Bryant said, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't important. He tends to ramble. It has been a day of a lot of talking but not saying much (more on that later). Piano went pretty well. We have a test on Wednesday on all the scales and a harmonization, and tomorrow's gonna be busy so I have to add practice time into the schedule somewheres. Went and got take out GDH and ate by myself outside of Springs while intimidating the prospective students that were walking by (*evil laugh*). Burned the CD for the show last night, so I didn't have to do any last minute work. I did a John Mayer show today in honour of the concert on Wednesday. Came back to the room for an hour(ish) before going to play in the sax ensemble at one of the many local retirement homes. Mr. Bair is totally corny, but we had a good time and were a smash hit. It went pretty well too, musically anyway. Came back for jazz band that also went well, then an interesting dinner with my friends. Mealtimes are never boring, despite the food. Came back to the room to get ready for the recital tonight, went to that, then came back and talked to Courtney for a while before going to Dr. Hobbie's Bible Study. We had a sex talk tonight, and it's amazing how people in college can talk for an hour straight and manage to say nothing at all. Anyway, it was good fellowship I guess. Came back to the room and started my Calculus homework and just finished it a little while ago. It didn't take me that long once I was checking the right questions with the right answers. So now Ryan's in bed and I'm keeping him up with my typing, so I'd better go. Later! |
