what a day

Sunday morning at 7am, I have to wake up and get ready for church. I have to play my cello for all the sermons: 8:30, 9:45, and 11am. I'm really nervous. It's going to be interesting I'm sure. I'm not quite sure what tomorrow will hold but only that of a miracle. I'm not nervous, I just want everything to go smoothly. During the sermon, I will be playing various pieces of music to go along with what the preacher has to say. It should be interesting none the less.
Today, Casey the Executive Chair of PRIDE and I went to the HYPER and worked out. I hate going by myself but today was different. Here was a guy that wanted to spend time with me and wanted to see me continue to change myself. I've been trying for a while to loose weight and still need to loose another 50 at least. Casey is a great guy and has an awesome personality. He can see I am eager to learn and want to continue to enrich my fellow friends. We got to the workout room, saw all these beautiful bodies everywhere and that feeling... you know the one I'm talking about, well it started to settle in again. He said, these people didn't get to look like that, it was dedication like you that got them to that point. You can reach your goals, You just have to continue to reach for them and I'll help you. This is the inspiration that I've needed. I've needed someone to give me positive feedback to where I can get it in my head again and loose weight. I worked out on this olyptical machine to work on my knee's. It started hurting at first but slowly seemed to get easier. I've had bad knee's for a while because of my weight and football engeries. At any rate, I took over 2,200 steps on this thing in the inclined position but only burned 180 calories. That was over a 35 minute period. I guess that's a lot of steps to take but good ones. (catch the pun, hehehe) I think I'll be able to work out tuesday and thursday mornings, have PRIDE meetings Tuesday nights at 4:30 and Phi Mu Alpha meetings at 8. My semester is quickly filling up and I've only just begun.
Today David, my new roommate moved in. He's from Little Rock. He is a friend of Joel's. Joel and David went to school together at OBU in Arkadelphia. I've moved into my 2 bedroom apartment but will be transfering my lease to a 3 bedroom so that we may each have our own room. It's going to be more expensive but that's ok by me. I'd rather have my own room to where I can relax and be myself and not have to worry about anything. My only hope is that they guys will understand that I am getting the master bedroom. I am transfering everything in my name, paying the transfer fee's because they want to move. Granted I want to move too. I don't think it's fair for them to have to share a room. I guess they'll deal with it; somehow.
I am the only Cellist that auditioned for Symphony. I guess I got first chair. I truly hope there are other cellist' there on Monday. I don't want to be the only one. If I get first chair I'll be happy with it. I guess we'll see. This semester is going to be different I'm sure. With my 2 organizations I'm involved heavily in, my school work, and me getting ready for my senior recital, it should be interesting. Definitely a full load.
To top everything off, over the past 3 days, my cell phone has rang non-stop. My friends are all turning to me to help them because they can't find anyone else to help them with their needs. I'm sure I've pissed a lot of people off, I've had to be selfish and a lot of people aren't used to me being like that. It is different for me to act that way, but I need to worry about me. Like my friend Todd called me last week, and I've been so damn busy I've not been able to call him back. He's my best friend in the world and I've neglected to call him to see how he and his wife are doing. (Todd, I'm sorry and I'll call you Sunday while I'm at work.) Well it's almost 2am. I need to get to bed. Later all. SMOOTCHES!
