school

So I’ve started to get back into the swing of things with my sitar practicing. I never got a chance to hook up with Rahul, we’re still trying to coordinate schedules and whatnot. But I started struggling through the notation guruji gave me and I started sort of remembering how the song went. So I’ve been practicing the hell out of the first few lines. My fingers are starting to callus up again. But I’m still getting used to playing more than an hour at a time, but that’s all mental, I can get my body to do anything as long as I don’t let myself get tired of it. I also made a few beats on my sampler to play along with. I want to start making a series of beats that I can eventualy turn into songs, too. That would be ‘tizzzzzzzight.’

I had my graduation ceremony for school sunday. After 8 loooooong years of working full-time and going to school part-time, I finally finished back in December, and had my ceremony Sunday morning. I didn’t even want to go, cause I’ve already given DePaul enough of my time and money, I didn’t need to waste a Sunday morning where i could have been sleeping in for a 8a ceremony to give them one last chance to convince me my money was worth it. (Am i bitter? A little…) But I went cause I’m the first kid to graduate in my family, and my moms pulled that card on me. It was fine. I went out to eat with my parent that evening and had a beer with my dad, that was better than the ceremony.

Hey kids,

So last night after work, a bunch of coworkers and I hung out in our large conference room to watch Office Space on the projector with pizza and beer. Aw yea, that was fun. That’s a hysterical movie, especially considering that there are people at my work that match the personalities in that movie to a T.

Afterwards I came home and did a little more filming on my next video project. Our assignment is to make a music video. I’m almost done with the filming, and I’ve already filled up 90 minutes on a tape! Ooooffff… So I just have one more short session of recording that I’ll probably do tonight, and then I have to sit in the lab and do the editting this weekend. It’s going to take me some time to go through and edit, but it’s gonna look sweeeet….. Check out my first movie .

I have a midterm tonight for my video class that shouldn’t be too bad. And I desperately need a haircut and new contacts.

By the way, I renounce the World Series.
