I always develop a sort of crush on everyone I meet. It’s not as if I actually want them, but I just like them more than everyone else for awhile. I like to spend all my time with them and get to know them and just be with them. But as always, like every other crush, it fades. I hate that.

steps
tomorrow the orientation shoes are kicked off, and I finally jump into my first classes. I have Music Theory (Keyboarding and Sight Singing) from 8:00 to 8:50. After that, I’m free until noon, when I have my Music Criticism writing seminar. then I’ll have German starting at 15:00.
I am so excited for this.

so I didn’t write anything for a couple days. I had the tail end of my college orientation which took me on a camping trip to Camp Parsons in northern Washington on the Hood Canal. they recommended going without technology for the time. some people followed the advice, myself included. I never noticed how easy it was to separate from all this stuff, all these people. I never thought about it...
really?

YEAH. did I mention I’m majoring in vocal performance?
love.
all the people on my floor are awesome. I can talk to each and every one of them for long long long periods of time. everyone has so much to say, and everyone has such an interesting perspective on things.
it’s cool being around different minds than the ones I have collaborated with for the past four-twelve years. already I’ve learned a whole lot of new things.
but I’m still...
i'm not being myself.
impressions.
so these are the people I’ve become fairly close to: rowan: expected a lot, she’s met and gone beyond all those expectations. she’s a wonderful person and I’m incredibly happy to have her in my life. ian: he’s my roommate, and he is one of the funnier people I’ve met here. glad to spend a year with him. delphine: this chick is hilarious. she can talk for hours...
departed.
I moved into my new life today. I’m enjoying it so far.
down.
so I can’t get on my laptop tonight, because for some reason, the hotel internet is nonfunctional.
I finally made it to Tacoma, and I’ve never been happier in my life. so many amazing things are coming to me in just the next few days, it’s almost a lifetime’s worth of excitement.
unfortunately, I’ve been reeling with a cold, and haven’t been able to sleep...
north
today my father and I drove for 12 hours. California will haunt me forever, I can drive all day and still not get out of it.
it was a quiet drive…my dad doesn’t like to talk, I like to listen to music. now we’re in our hotel in Yreka, CA not talking to each other.
tomorrow I drive through Oregon into Washington. EXCITED.
restless.
of course, my last night sleeping in the house I grew up in, I don’t get any sleep.
hidden.
with my upcoming move being the focus in my life right now, it’s hard to even begin thinking about anything else. so of course, as I lay down to sleep every night, I begin pondering my new life, what will happen, who I will meet, and the adventures I will go on. and then of course, the focus switches to dorm life.
last night I dreamt that Ian (my roommate) and I met each other while...
loving.
I’m finding myself there again. packing away my things, ready to start a new life with new people. I’m ready. I’m excited. but one thing stands out above the rest.

consideritclassy asked: Brian :( I'm going to miss you too. When do you leave?
live to the last bell.
I had a party at my house today. everyone came, and everyone had a good time. we watched zack and miri make a porno, and we were all shocked when it turned into an actual porno. seeking a clean movie, we didn’t know what we could trust, so we turned to the only proven sanctified movie producer, disney, and watched the tigger movie.
we built a fire outside, roasted marshmallows, and all in...
