Life Update Post #2

Hi there friends.

I honestly thought that there would at least be another post or two before I made a second Life Update Post. But alas, here I am, making another one.

In my defense, there has been quite a lot going on.

You may or may not recall me mentioning how I was auditioning to be a Marching Chief. Well, after six full 12-13 hour days of marching, sweating, playing and a little bit of crying, I didn't make the cut. At first, this was devastating to me. But then I considered some of the facts...

1. I am taking 15 credit hours this semester.
2. I would like to have a job.
3. I'm going to want time to myself.
4. I get overwhelmed easily.
5. I have much room to improve on my instrument.

The list could go on and on. But this all made me realize that not being a Marching Chief opened way more doors for me than it did close them. While marching band is one of my passions, I have to admit that it will be a lot easier to live without it in college than it would have been in high school.


As far as my classes/roommates/etc., everything is going fairly well. I'm going back to have regular appointments at the Wellness Center, my trumpet professor seems to be taking to me quite nicely, and my living situation is even better than I anticipated. For the first time in a long time, things are actually going (mostly) according to plan. No complaints here!


Again, I know I always say this, but I apologize for this blog post not being captivating, but I promise that as soon as I find it in my schedule I will sit down and actually plan out some really neat posts for you guys.


Until next time,
Maddie
