6 Measures of Minor
I had to compose 6 measures using f# minor using ii/07 ( two half diminished 7 ) chords for piano accompaniment and solo of my major insturment. It's nothing special by any means. It's my first thing I've ever really done all by myself. I thought I'd just post it up here.

Hard, Crazy Life and Service in Rexburg
Life is crazy. I sometimes don't understand it. A lot has happened to me over the past few months or so that has really taken me for a big ride. Actually no, in the past entire year things have gone really weird. It's just how life works I suppose. It has thrown curve ball after curve ball at me and, unfortunately, I'm not the best at catching curve balls. I'm not sure that anyone is.
But even though I'm terrible at it, I'm sure that I couldn't have gone as far as things have gone without God. Sometimes I feel like simply getting out of bed and to class on time is some sort of miracle. Those are on the bad days. There have been some really good days though. I really want to start focusing on the good things that have been happening instead of the really weird or bad ones that have. It's really hard to do that though.
I'm sure that I'll be okay though. There are some great things that have happened that I'm trying to be happy about. I got a scholarship for next semester for $800. I'm really excited about that. I get to be in the Patriots and Pioneers concert. That's exciting. I'm going to see the utah symphony orchestra play this weekend. I'm going to yellowstone with my roommates on monday. There are some exciting things coming up that I really need to focus on. It will help me be positive and be happy for the people around me.
I really hope that I'll be able to help the people here in some way or another. It's really hard to do real service while I'm going to college. I'm kinda hoping that being section leader in band and conducting sectionals and things will help me at least help people's playing ability. Not quite the way I want to help people, but it's really the only way I can think of. These people here are so wonderful that I'm not sure I can do much for them. It's really hard to help and not really feel important to these people, but I'm doing my best and I hope that I'm making and impact in at least one of these people's lives.
