first day of school musings...

Oh my golly it's hot in Arimazona!!
Today I walked around all day wearing long black pants and a dress shirt and dress shoes because my audition for symphony was today and I was walking around campus - oh dude - guess what???
There's a COLD STONE CREAMERY in the ASU Union building!!
I was so happy I almost cried. I treated myself to a heaping cup o' ice cream after I bombed my audition. Well, compared to all my UNT symphony auditions, I played awesome, but my teacher came to the audition! I was so nervous I missed some stuff. Ice cream time.
Have I mentioned how gorgeous the campus is???
Anywho, I just took a shower and I saw something has made me stop and realize I am slowly changing to adapt to my environment in Arimazona...
I have a sun tan line on my feet where the straps of my flip-flops go.
wow.
It's so hot here, but it's not as miserable as Texas heat. THe heat is just from the brightbright sun. I'm tanning.. dang it, I need to put on some sunscreen.
soooo Friday I had my first masters music diagnostic tests... I have to take 'em every semester until I pass 'em. I passed 3 of 4 theory tests! That's groovy... but I realllly failed those 2 music history tests today. And I'm okay with that.
It's just while I was taking the tests, my phone in my bag rang (well, it was on vibrate) a few times and when I got out of the tests, I had plenty of voice mails to hear. I LOVE my cell phone!! Call me! I love not feeling a million miles away from you guys!!!
I made a friend toady - a freshman from Arimazona It's odd - people are a little uncomfortable around me when I tell them I'm getting my masters and I think I want to keep that to myself for a while. I'm not a weirdo... but it is a different world in here.
Oooo, I sat down in my Romantic music class today and the 2 girls next to me were both LDS! They're everywhoere!!
Which kind of creeps me out too.. don't know why. I love my faith and I love everyone... but I'm not used to them being around me like this. It's like I can't get to know anyone because... there's so many people around, I'm not special enough to know.
I went to the institute to hang out today and maybe make some friends, but the only person who would talk to me was a freshman who didn't know anyone either, and the creepiest organist I've ever met. How do they find me??
For some reason, I'm not wigging out about not having any friends yet. We'll see what happens in a few days, but I'm actually feeling patient for once.
I'll tell you one thing right now - I am soooo wearing shorts tomorrow. I got home and almost passed out - I've never been that hot in my life! I drank 3 litres of water!! Boy, and I peeing clear right now:)
We'll see if I can keep it up for the next few days... steel drum band tomorrow!!!
SUPERCRACK is trucking...
