Moon Dog's Musings

Today was the last official day of band practice, and I have mud all over my shoes...I knew that there was something that I was missing from high school band! Muddy fields! This is the first day the field here as actually been muddy (yesterday it was REALLY muddy since it rained; we didn't march, we just stood in place, but as somebody was walking across the field, he slipped and fell. Hehe. Classic band moment.)
Speaking of classic band moments...today the A (as in when we spell out UCLA on the field) decided to be rebellious and instead of stopping in the correct place after the run-on, we kept running. Our director was pretty pissed. It was supposed to be a joke! Well, I thought it was funny.
Only two weeks until finals, three and a half weeks till Christmas, and less than a month before my nineteenth birthday. Where is this time going?
Oh, by the way, my dorm room is beautiful. We have a Christmas tree and lights...we're trying to be the best decorated dorm room on the UCLA campus. We challenge anyone to beat us.

You know I'm bored when I'm blogging. My eye hurts again! I thought everything was all better now. I guess I was wrong. Well, Kamille's back now so maybe I'll bug her instead of sitting here and typing. I'm getting so sick of this computer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I do nothing but go to class, do homework, eat, sleep, band, and IM people and hang out on the internet. I need more variety in my life. Shopping, anyone? Or how about a nice movie (that isn't Harry Potter)? Excited that Christmas is coming...we have a tree and lights but no presents for me under the tree. Boo-hoo. (Kamille, I know you read this; that's the only reason why I'm putting this here. Are you my only audience? Does anybody else read this? And you see me everyday!)
Well, more stuff later.

I am not blogging often because I'm trying to write a novel, do homework, pass my classes, talk to friends, go to band practices, and deal with a crazy roommate (who I love very much :) ). And I almost had a nervous breakdown a couple of weeks ago. I am sorry if you are disappointed. Please come again. I will blog. I promise.

Our statue of the Bruin Bear went into hibernation today in preparation for the upcoming Beat 'SC week. The statue is covered with a blue cloth in order to protect it from those evil Trojans...
Quote of the day, said by a band member during practice: "Turn around and look at the sunset. Isn't it beautiful? Isn't that what this is all about? Marching around on a quiet evening with a beautiful sunset in the background?" Sure...
What's with the ...s today?...
I have no linguistics word of today because we moved onto Syntax, and all we're doing is diagraming sentences. How boring.

Guess what I did today? I voted. Yep. It was my first time. :)
I also unexpectedly went home (I wasn't supposed to go home again until Thanksgiving). And my brother made me cookies. What strange behavior. Well, now I'm back at the dorms, feeling much better than I did yesterday.
On another note, I got an e-mail last night from somebody who calls himself "moondoggy"...he stumbled upon my blog yesterday and was shocked to find so many similarities between his blog and mine. It is kind of creepy...here's the address of his site: http://www.moondoggy.blogspot.com (I still can't figure out how to turn this into a hyperlink...stupid html).
I enjoy Tuesdays with no classes.

I hate being sick. I had a nice weekend at home, but I started coming down with something last night, and I'm still not recovered. I just had some soup, which has made me feel a little bit better, but my throat still hurts and I have a stuffy nose.
My friend and I were so lazy we took the bus back from linguistics class. And speaking of linguistics class...I got an A on my midterm! And I also got an A on my psych midterm! Oh, yea, I'm happy.
Well, I'm going to try to relax and feel better. Good night.

Happy Belated Halloween...last night was very fun.
My friend Jerrold from high school came to visit me, and we were planning to trick or treat in Beverely Hills but we got lost on the way. We ended up on Mulholland Dr., which winds around a dark hill but has a spectacular view overlooking Los Angeles...and then we ended up in Encino and Studio City, as well as some fancier neighborhoods like Bel-Air and Brentwood.
When we finally made it to Bev Hills, we were too late for trick or treating...all the houses had closed up for the night. But we did hear noise from coming from somewhere...we thought it was a haunted house, so we walked toward the noise...but then we figured out it was LOUD music, not haunted house noises. But we kept walking, and eventually found ourselves in the middle of Santa Monica Blvd. Here's a link: http://www.netvstudios.com/whcvb/Publish/index2.htm
It was the West Coast's biggest costume party, and I swear I was the only normal person there. But it was extremely fun, and we still can't believe that we ended up there by accident. Next year we're probably going to plan on going.
And then, on the way back to UCLA, we took a wrong turn onto Sunset and ended up in deep West Hollywood. But I made it back to the dorm, safe and sound. Didn't get much sleep though...
Today's been pretty uneventful here, though. (I did eat breakfast this morning for once, however.) Tomorrow I'm going home for the weekend, so I don't know when the next time I post will be. But I hope you all have a good first weekend of November.
