Not like that's even remotely interesting.
And, on that note, not to make it seem like really anything on this blog is interesting; however it is to some people in this world since people from everywhere visit! :)
Today has just been filled with unfortunate occurances. One of my close friends, who will remain nameless (I should really just think up a new name of the person I'm talking about and put an asterisk next to the fake name like they do in Cosmopolitan or other magazines. Then, it would save me the time in having to do my usual, "Who will remain nameless.." shpeil.) has been having a really shitty past couple days. A guy she's been kindof in a relationship with for around 6 months has suddenly just broke things off, and it's kindof a complicated situation. Some people who are annoying say about a situation or relationship like, "oh, it's complicated.." to excuse themselves from an explanation, or just to sound cool; but no- I am honestly saying this is quite the complicated situation for her, and I feel genuinely bad that she is going through all she's going through. I'd explain more, but I also feel like it's not really my situation to tell. She has really become a dear friend to me this year.
Aside that, I realized I wrote a paper for one of my classes on just the most successful qualities of a music teacher of my choice, rather than both successful and unsuccessful qualities. The teacher is really cool though, and said i could just email her an explanation of the unsuccessful qualities. Some teachers here at ASU are really, really cool. Some are so dull you want to cry. I've been lucky enough to have mostly knowledgeable, excellent scholars ;). I felt so pretentious for using the word scholars. I thought it might flow naturally, but that definitely didn't and now I'm feeling douchier by the second. So, disregard 'scholars'. What 18 year old uses that word anyway?!
To continue on, my day hasn't really had pizazz or anything. I've felt sort of invisible, too. I didn't play so, so completely horrible in saxophone methods class today though! I was so proud of myself. After all, I did practice it for over an hour last night instead of cuddling with Tyler, haha.
I COMPLETELY forgot to mention that I saw John Legend last night! He came to our school and performed at Gammage. He did a little speech about education and the importance of it, etc etc, and then was only supposed to play I think like three songs. Being the great, talented, extroverted musician he is, he couldn't play just three songs, so I think he played probably eight!!! Ah, I was so happy and excited. One of his songs actually made me cry, maybe because of the mild relationship trauma that happened a couple days ago. It just related so well, but at the same time was such a beautiful song. He is such a talented musician, and isn't AUTOTUNED!! He sounds just as good, if better live. I am going to buy all of his songs and albums. Truly inspring man.
This is the song that pulled my heartstrings... "This Time"
I actually liked the way he played "This Time" live last night then the actual recording. I don't think I recorded it last night because I was too busy crying, haha.
He also did an acoustic version of "Green Light" which I totally called. Loved it.
Anyway, I'm just now waiting for my mom to come here and bring me some stuff (FOOD!!!). Now that I just remembered how beautiful John Legend sounded live, I don't think today is that shitty anymore.
The wonders of music!!!
