Homestretch
May 14, 2009 – 7:49 pmIt’s the homestretch. One more week of finals, then it’s all over for the year. And suddenly I will never again be a freshman (Hmm.. why aren’t people hyped up over it being ‘freshman‘? Freshperson! haha.)
People are excited. There’s a bunch of exams coming hard, and for some, it is ever hard to concentrate. So close to 3 months of holidays, yet so far.
Me? I am not a person prone to much excitement. In fact, I feel somewhat reluctant. For some, time can’t go by quickly enough. For me, time is too fast. I want it to slow down. I’ve got a lot of things to study, but most importantly, I want to have more time to play my guitar.
It’s probably the primary reason that I’m not as excited about the holidays. I’ll have to leave my guitar for 3 months. And not to mention that I just bought the Digitech RP255 - hoping to sell my amp in its place. And of course, this buying and selling is probably the first of many to come.
Trifling matters. I will always have my guitar and stuff waiting for me when I get back. But hardly again the chance to stay in Michigan and Chicago the whole summer. And visit New York in the process. It’s awesome, and for most people, terribly exciting. But I guess in part character, in part all that I leave behind, in part the fact that I like school and all the subjects I will never get the chance to take again. Arts in Western Civilization, which opened my eyes up to art and music, and pulled together the entire history of music in one coherent string. History, awesome subject. English, where I was gratified by the good comments the teacher gave. Biology, which despite not being my favorite subject, is probably going to be what I’m majoring in. Because let’s face it, things like history and english have hardly any future save for teaching. And teaching is one thing that I will not do.
(Thought I’d share a pic of the pedal)
