Hums, Triplets and Auditions

I absolutely have to get this out now lest I implode. I loath mechanical hums. I like nothing about them. Cars, refridgerators, toasters, microwaves, computers, fans, stereos when it's on CD mode and the disc is over, TVs on input or any other flavor, ect, ect. It seems that since my house is nearly empty, it's just been the machines and me. I feel like Chief Bromden in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, where he first suspects the combine. Not to mention his nighttime witness. Apart from the whirr in my head, I've had to deal with the rest of the machines. So I unplugged the ones unnecessary. Electricity doesn't sound pretty. Lightning is an exception. It has no sound. Love it.

In my comp for Theory, I've reached the C section. Haha. No pun intended. Really though, I've just transitioned for the second time. However, it's an absolute bore trying to figure the counting. If you didn't know, I can't count well as it is, but then to try to count something I've created, even worse. Yuck. If I seem a bit agitated to you,that's probably a stimulus as to why.

Furthermore, to continue my musical Hell, I've decided to audition for my school's Jazz Band, which happens to be utterly fantastic. However, I'm not entirely a jazz pianist. I'm definitely classical with jazz sprinkles. Meaning, while I did jband in junior high, I wasn't the best, nor was I fabulous. Last year I auditioned [for this year] and was rejected [sad day!], but was entirely ok with it, seeing as it starts as a zero hour class. This year however, I'm determined to be accepted. Unfortunately for me, there are some other more excellent pianists auditioning. With that in mind, I'm beginning to restep on my determination. In any case, I wish the best of luck to myself [is that legal?], and will do everything I can to get it. My audition time is next Wednesday at 3:20 after school. Wish me luck. :D

I suppose I had better go grocery shopping. Which leads me to my next rant!

In place of the math class I dropped out of at semester is a class called Personal Finance. I have no idea if I've previously seethed about it, nor do I care. In light of that, the only reason I took it was because I was a complete wimp [and out of manic mode] and didn't want to rearrange my schedule to be able to take AP Psyche 6th hour [the only time offered for it]. Because of it, I was persuaded to take this class in it's place. However, I have learned absolutely nothing I didn't previously know before entering [kudos to my rents] and am wasting my time getting an easy A when I really should be in AP Psyche obtaining a difficult A. -Sigh- It's so frustrating! We "learn" about objectives i.e. budgeting, interest, shopping conservatively, credit cards, and all of the stuff people should know by the time they're in high school. It. Is. Absolutely. Ridiculous. There hasn't been a class when I haven't thought to myself "Why am I wasting my time with this?" With me doing all of the shopping for my family for a few weeks, it's not like I don't already know how to shop, what to spend, which bills to pay first, ect, ect. But now that that's out, I suppose I'll be off to rework history. Yes. That's right. Cheers.
