game last night was...interesting. i can't say it went very well. i don't know...but for whatever reason, my emotions always run extremely high at games. during pregame i picked up my drum and my flip folder fell to the ground, so i was like, well shoot. so i'm trying to tell j-dawg (about 20 feet away) that i dropped it. and he keeps telling me he can't hear me. he couldn't see the flip folder, it was right behind a tenor player...so i start getting really, really frustrated. because i did not want to leave it in the middle of the field, i would surely never see it again. so i start crying. right there in the middle of pregame. i was kind of embarassed, i don't even know why i did, but i guess i was just so emotional about everything (lol, it's only a flip folder, i know...) but apparently it was a big deal to me. i don't know. maybe i was emotional because i feel like i'm constantly under attack from people. i thought i could escape it if i wasn't tapping off last night...well, i couldn't. i don't think i ever will either.

then today i went to OSU for a college visit. it was a lot nicer than i thought it would be. the campus is very nice, i like the school a lot. it is, however, a math/sciences school, and is very devoted to research, which isn't a bad thing, but i don't know if it's my cup of tea. aaargh. college selecting is such a confusing, frustrating process. it makes me want to go to sleep. well, as of late everything makes me want to go to sleep, so i guess that's not a big suprise now is it?

today i rediscovered my love for nickel creek. they're a bluegrass band...they kick butt. seriously. my dad and i bought their new cd today en route to OSU. it's pretty good, not as much instrumental, but they retained most of their older sound, which i enjoy quite a bit. any other nickel creek fans out there?
