I've really got to get my shit together

So, I just played my horn for the first time since mid-November. whoops.

I think I played four Kopprasches before I had to give up. Not because my lips were tired, but my body is tired. I forget what a physical act playing a musical instrument truly is. When I'm tired, I have a tendency to engage my stomach muscles more to get to the top of my range...so, in conclusion, my stomach hurts.

I've started playing DDR for at least 20 minutes everyday, just for activity AND now, I'm going to try to play my horn for at least 20 minutes (I can hear all you college kids cringing...and maybe wishing a little bit?) I really want to try to get a spot in the MFSO when the third horn player leaves next year, and I might try to get into a few other things. At least get my name on the list. Just something a little more permanent.

So, I'm trying to set goals here.

I also had a job interview at Kohl's corporate office. The position is the College Relations Assistant, and the position is much more HR than I first realized, BUT, that's okay, but HR is an area that I have wanted to get into. Even in college, I was trying to work out a way to do a minor or something. I think/hope the interview went well. The other college relations manager is flying up from Texas in two weeks for the final round of interviews. I was the first one today. I don't know if that's good or bad. We'll see. I tired to be enthusiatic about the position, but I don't know if I came off that way or not. If I don't get called back for a second interview, I will probably ask what I could have done differently to be more successful. So, I'm hopeful that they liked me, because I definitely liked the girl that would be my boss, and that they will call me back. I've GOT to get a new job. I really wish that we weren't buying a house right now for the mere fact that I would have probably just quit as of Friday and taken a breather. Or I would have just worked at some goofy job and went back to graduate school full time.

I'm pretty certain that there is a mouse in the apartment, because I found a packet of oatmeal bitten open and the little cat has been sitting and staring at the oven all night long every night, but I can't find any other evidence of one. Nothing else has been broken into, so.... I don't know.

I wish that we had that house right now. Because I'd be over there every night, painting or cleaning or whatever to fix it up all shiny and nice. And then we would move the heck out of here. *roll eyes* STUPID PEOPLE EVERYWHERE!!!!!!

Okay, that's all I've got. Until another day. :)

Good plan for practicing. I bet it works better than 2 hrs every 2 weeks.
