ISMM: ok, so I'm a little bit rusty. It's been 10 years

This isn't a KIFF Blog. So Wizard101 isn't going to be the focus. (in case anyone is reading this)
KIFF = Keeping It Family Friendly. ISMM = In Side My Mind. Just a note that after the semester's over, All future blogs will be ISMM. The ISMM title won't appear in the title because the class I'm blogging (CDES 219) for will be over.

Right now I'm sitting in the Computer Lab @ Chico State, killing time before my rehearsal. I'm really nervous because I'm not sure if I'll have my same parts. (mostly 2nd trumpet & 1st trumpet on two songs)
In the first parts I have little things called Solos. Meaning I'm heard above everyone else. http://images4.fanpop.com/image/photos/20500000/Fluttershy-my-little-pony-friendship-is-magic-20524085-570-402.jpg<- Just like Fluttershy. (one of the two ponies from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic that I identify with.) so I'm a little bit nervous.

There are only 3 trumpet players in this ensemble, so I can't exactly hide in the sound like I'm used to.

I'm also really nervous because of how long it's been since my last concert. Drumroll please lol,

10 years! that's right,  10 years the last time I played in a concert band was the final concert of my Senior Year at Oroville High School. I'm in the OHS class of 2002.

Okay here's what happened.

5/23/1995: Gone to Brewer Middle School to interview with the band directors (3) there to see what instrument I'd be playing. (age 11)
8/14/1995: 1st day of 6th grade, Beginning band, high brass. I started playing trumpet.

1/23/2012: Returned to band after a 10 year hiatus.

OBJECTION! Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Dual Destinies

First of all, let me state that this game looks very intriguing and I can't wait to add it to my 3DS. All I can hope for is that Capcom DOESN'T treat this game like it treated Rockman DASH 3 (Megaman Legends 3)  Yesterday I woke up and while browsing the Ask Ace Attorney blog on Tumblr and on a post someone asked the mod if they had seen this   the trailer for the English version of Ace Attorney 5.  I had to watch it a few times to realize that I'm not dreaming. This game is coming to the 3DS! Even though the reason I bought my 3ds originally was so that I could play Megaman Legends 3, but we all know how Capcom treated that particular 3DS title.  One of the main differences is that it's in 3D instead of the traditional 2d anime-ish sprites.  Although isn't                                voiced b...

KIFF:I'm Queen of the... wait, What?... & how does W101 inform the public and gain new wizards? 6/12

Just a note before we begin, the planet Antario was created by my Venture (writing class for dyslexic students) teacher & me way back in 1995. I'm using this as an example of a fictional nation. Also this blog will attempt to stay bias free.  Outside the Spiral More than likely you're fed up with the way things are run in RL (gamerspeak for real life) and think you can do better if you're handed the reins. Or maybe you just want to escape reality and create your own city/world/planet/universe where you are the ruler/deity/sovereign. There are games for that. On Facebook for example, the Zynga games of Pioneer Trail, Castleville, Cityville and any other *.Ville that the red dog logo'd company can come up with, allow the player to create their own virtual "Homestead" (Pioneer Trail), "Kingdom" (Castleville), "City" (Cityville) where with the help of free gifts from neighbors and the friendly NPCs giving you quests to advance the st...

back to campus

Warning this blog is written from the point of a very stressed out older college student, and might not be read by viewers. This blog might be a little ranty at times. Well, it's back to campus time again and already I think my academic career is in jeopardy. For one thing, I'm waitlisted for two classes, and no one has dropped from the classes. I'm waitlisted for "Basic Advertising Copywriting" and "Intro to Media Production" I'm at positions 1 & 6 respectively. I'm waiting to buy the books until after I am enrolled in the classes. I'm currently in Portfolio review and Philosophy of Science and I don't understand how the either/or system works. The classes start at 12:30 pm. (a little over an hour from now, as of this writing) I currently have 4 units, so I don't have fin aid. Which is a BIG problem and why I'm desperately waiting to get in to the classes. I hope I pass Portfolio Review because if I do, I'll drop the ...
