MUFFLIATO! hahaha

New Grey's in an hour! I am SO excited...
Life has been pretty sweet.
I finally talked to my band director, Doc, about some career paths I've been considering with music.
I was looking at music therapy. BUT. To major in music therapy, I'd HAVE to get a music education degree because music therapy isn't exactly a guaranteed job. Very few places actually use it, and according to him I'd be more likely to end up with a job on the education end of things.
As of this moment, I'm leaning towards music business, which would involve owning a music store or managing a performing group (anywhere from a school band to a professional symphony, getting music and instruments and that type of thing).
That could all change, though, I'm not setting anything in stone until next year.
Weather sucks again. It feels like fall outside...it should feel like spring. =P
I can't wait til NY. Still. =]
I'm also pretty excited for tomorrow, too. My one and only Friday class is only a half hour long...someone is being interviewed for a position as a prof next year, and they're using our class to show to the current science staff they're decent with teaching, and we get to listen to her try and explain some upper level chem stuff (from classes I would have been taking as a third or fourth year). So I get to sit back and hear about alarming topics I no longer have to deal with! Yay!
I've made a discovery. I think I am more pale and ghosty white now than I ever have been. I've always *been* on the really pale side...but somehow it seems worse...I can look at my own reflection and tell, normally it's only noticeable when I'm standing next to a darker someone else. Or purposely comparing skin tone with someone. I'm ready for summer and a small amount of color. Not freakishly african-dark tan like I was after band camp senior year....I can still hardly recognize myself in those pictures...just a hint of sun kissed. That is, once I get passed the inevitable burning I endure until around July =P
Oh. Funny moment that happened at Kristina's over break that I forgot about.
I was sitting on Kristina's couch and had found a knitting needle I was goofing off with (poking stick, hair ornament...) when I started using it as a wand. I aimed it at Melissa and said Muffliato (which is a spell used in Half Blood Prince, it fills the ears of those nearby with a buzzing noise so they can't hear the conversation you're having) and Melissa jokingly said "my ears are buzzing!" and Chelsea replies [in all seriousness] "MINE ARE TOO!!!"
*DIES*
I think I came within a few inches of falling off the couch with that one. Melissa and I were both doubled over crying while everyone else in the room (all of them being complete non-Potterheads) looked at us with the blankest stares I have ever seen. It took me SEVERAL minutes to calm down enough to explain anything.
Good times.
Now...I need to practice...yay? [kind of....]
