GP

So, for the few followers out there that DON'T already know, I am currently in the process of figuring out my life.

I know, I know, everybody, everyday is in the process of figuring out their lives.

However, since this is my blog, I feel entitled to only talk about mine.

Anywho...I decided a while back that I was going to attempt to get into Berklee College of Music in Boston, MA. Well, there are some new developments.

Originally I had thought that I was graduating on time--which still might happen--but it is looking more and more like I may be at the great James Madison University for one more semester.

SO my thoughts changed on Berklee. Actually, I missed the deadline for fall enrollment, which turned out to be a blessing in disguise.

The new GP (newly found phrase that I have stolen from Kaitlyn, means "game plan") goes as follows:

I am appyling (applied) for Berklee's twelve-week full credit summer program. If I get in it means I will be spending my entire summer in Boston.

The program costs $12,000. BUT I would get credit for a FULL semester which normally costs around $50,000.

Following the program (if I get in) I would go back to JMU for the fall and graduate in December (this would also allow me one more crack at that intramural football championship that I so desperately desire).

THEN if accepted after the summer program, I would fully enroll at Berklee for the spring semester and it would be like I had been there in the fall.

RECAP:

1. Get into Berklee's twelve week summer program and be near the people (two) that I love.

2. Go back to JMU in the fall to get a degree.

3. Go back to Berklee in the spring to get better at guitar/singing/songwriting.

4. Pursue dreams.

There you have it. The most up-to-date GP for the next year of my life...I'll let you know how it pans out.



Oh and the girl a couple of you were wondering about? She's my dream girl...but better... She's real!

Back from the dead!

SHALOM there my one, maybe two, faithful readers!

I'm back!

After my 3 and-a-half month hiatus, I have returned to the world of blogging. Quite bit has gone on in my life since I last wrote to you all so here's a list of the things you missed:

-a sprained MCL
-cowboys first playoff win in 14 years
-a beautiful wedding
-crest white strips
-Jack3d
-three new songs written
-a life-changing decision
-only one haircut
-more loan money spent
-John stopped drinking
-I picked up my electric guitar again
-homemade bruschetta
-other stuff
-I met a girl
...that I'm crazy about


So there you have it. The list of things that have happened to me since I last wrote (I'm sure I'm missing a few things, here and there).

I intend to write more frequently now, seeing as though classes have really kicked in and I therefore am given the opportunity to deal with dickhead professors who annoy me with pointless, random, lame busy work.

For now, however, a newly purchased package of Chips Ahoy! cookies is about to be opened and quickly ravished.

This was just the reminder that I am still alive.

Until then,

Godspeed
