I've been busy as hell both studying for exams and performing and not having a computer that I had forgotten I even have an account here. For some reason I just remembered so I'll post. First, exams went great. I was worried only about a couple, but I got the grade that I either expected or higher than expected in every class. MUT -1242-001 SIGHT SINGING & EAR TRAINING 2 C+ 1.00 1.00 1.00 2.33 MVK -3173-001 JAZZ CLASS PIANO A 1.00 1.00 1.00 4.00 MUH -2512-001 MUSIC CULTURES OF THE WORLD B+ 3.00 3.00 3.00 9.99 SYG -1000-005 INTRODUCTORY SOCIOLOGY A- 3.00 3.00 3.00 11.01 MUT -2116-001 MUSIC THEORY 3 A- 3.00 3.00 3.00 11.01 MVJ -2323-001 APPLIED MUS PRIN, ELEC GUITAR A 2.00 2.00 2.00 8.00 MUN -4714-002 CHAMBER JAZZ (Will be an A when reported) NR 1.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 MUN -4714-007 CHAMBER JAZZ A 1.00 1.00 1.00 4.00 Current Term 3.596 Cumulative through Summer 2006 3.548 I'd say I'm happy with my GPA right now, there were several things in the past that I did or didn't do that hurt it but it's still pretty good. If I hope to get accepted to UMiami for grad school its going to have to stay that good, and I'd like for it to be higher so I wont get stressed out not knowing whether or not ill be accepted. I want the audition to be the hard part, i dont want to have to think that they might not accept me because of my GPA. Second, my old computer is history. It had been dropped twice previously, breaking the charger and charger input thing on the laptop. So when it finally died about 2 months ago, I wasn't THAT surprised...just upset. I lost about 2000 pictures, about 200 irreplaceable. I lost the lyrics to every song I'd ever written (about 25). I lost the audio of every song I've recorded but didn't have finished (about 30). I lost about 30 iTunes downloads that I didnt have backed up. I lost over 7,000 songs on itunes itself, but the majority of them are replaceable...it is just taking forever to replace them. Lost everything I had ever composed in sibelius or garageband. Luckily all the masters for the band songs are on an external hardrive, and now everything is backed up to it. The new computer is a 20" iMac Intel Core Duo. I love it to death. It has literally made my life better and made using a computer fun again. One wire, so I can set it up in the weirdest of places (on my night-stand next to my bed), and with no external speakers or other crap I have room for my external hard drive, midi keyboard, audio interface, etc. Built in speakers, camera, mic. Comes with a remote than can control itunes, imovie, iphoto, and a dvd if inserted. every program i have has been able to run fine with the new intel chip thanks to Rosetta. I've spent the last few days loading music and downloading apps such as a neat alarm clark that works much more consistenly than my real alarm clock. I just love it. |
