my roommate and my friend next door started the "pledging process" to get into kappa kappa psi tonight - it's a co-ed band service fraternity, but still, it's a fraternity, and i'm not sure what i think of those. maybe i just don't really like it because i feel like it's taking my friends from me... idk. it's not like they're gonna live in a house together. i'll still have meredith as my roommate! but still... it makes me feel a little left out, even though i chose not to do it - i didn't think meredith was gonna do it, too! the called her and asked her to. that was a bad sentence - i ended with a preposition, but i don't care.
but i had fun while they were out, anyway. me and several other people went to this jazz concert type thing at the hilton - it was really good, and i knew a bunch of people in it. or at least knew who they were - they pretty much all go to ecu, except for one high schooler, who... obviously, doesn't. they were all dressed all nice and looked all pretty and everything and i was wearing jeans and a tshirt. i felt so underdressed! but the students in the audience were all dressed like me, so i think i was ok. i owe michael $5 though, cause i didn't know the tickets were gonna cost anything.... all i had was $2.
chocolate milkshakes rarely fail to be wonderful, even if it's cold outside.
and sometimes it's nice to just tell someone... everything. even if you don't know them that well. sometimes that might be better cause they won't go tell other people since they... wouldnt know who to tell. hmm, i'm not sure what i'm saying. but it's nice to say things that you usually would keep to yourself.
ah, perfect song just came on!
don't wake me, i plan on sleeping in, don't wake me, i plan on sleeping-oooo,oooooo,ooo!

that was wednesday, but now it's friday... i need to wash my hair...
so, i don't have any homework. again. well, i did, but i did it all already. so basically i have nothing to do right now. which i shouldnt complain about - i probably should be practicing, but it's too late to go to the music building alone, and i'll need to sleep soon anyway.
have you ever been in a bad mood randomly for no reason? i'm not now, actually, i'm in a fairly good mood, except when i think about certain things. but the other day, it seemed like everyone was in a bad mood. that's one good thing about my roommate, she was an exception. she's always in a good mood! at least compared to the rest of us. so, i'm sorry if i ever snap at you or get angry for what seems like no reason - i'm probably just in a bad mood. i should wear a mood ring and not talk to certain people when it's not blue. that's happy, right?
people are stupid. some people are always stupid, and some are just stupid about some things. i'm stupid about some things, but not everything. i don't like when people are stupid. i want to find a cure. and if i can't find it, i hope someone does. i guess school cures some of it, but not all of it. that doesnt really make that much sense, i'm sorry.
don't be stupid. it's not smart. look both ways before you cross the street.... don't talk to strangers - but it's ok to talk to friends. make a wish at 11:11, even though it might not come true! (which is now, by the way)
k, done.

has a new home...
i feel like i live in the laundry room now. i did all my laundry friday night, but i watched the first two hours of memoirs of a geisha in here on saturday and i watched the third hour in here yesterday. and now.... i'm back. i'm gonna practice later - probably around nine. i should practice for more than an hour, but it's really hard to get back in that habit. oh, memoirs of a geisha is a Really good movie - and the music is amazing! the cello solos are all played by Yo Yo Ma, and the violin solos are played by Itzhak Perlman. or however that's spelled. the famous israeli guy that plays violin. well.... i think he's from isreal. hmm.... anyway, i love yo yo ma. i also love my ma. hahaha - get it? but yeah.
It was so warm yesterday! it got up to 72 degrees, at least! we had a picnic and i went on a walk back in the woods behind the parking lot - it was nice - there's a trail and stuff. there were so many squirrels back there! today was pretty nice, too, but about 20 degrees cooler.
oh, so yesterday, i went to this percussionist's recital, and he had a quartet with a clarinet, cello, horn, and...well, himself on snare drum, but it was pretty interesting. my favorite woodwind instrument (duh!), brass instrument, and string instrument all playing together! but what was really neat was, at the very beginning of the second movement, the cello had a really pretty solo - kind of mournful and... ah, i can't describe it! but it was beautiful, and then it started raining and the wind was blowing and it just added so much! it was so cool! and then the thunder came, it was almost erie. but i liked it. they couldnt have planned it better.
then we had steel pan practice which was fun! we have practice tomorrow night, too!
oh, and Itzhak Perlman is israeli, and i did actually spell it right! Yo-Yo Ma, on the other hand, is hyphenated.

ok, so...
well, i'm doing a good job at avoiding drama in college so far, but a few of my friends definitely aren't. i'm doing my best to keep out of it, but i'm definitely leaning towards one side cause the other one seems so wrong. and i hate how much i feel like it's wrong, because i feel like i was almost on the other side once before but i definitely didn't take it that far. i wouldn't want to. i hate when people.... hate me. but, i don't think there's anyone that hates me now. that's always a good thing. sorry if you're reading this now and have no idea what i'm saying - i'm kinda just writing this for me. but yeah, i've heard so many sides of this story, i'm not really sure what to think. well, actually... i'm just gonna stick with my opinion. but so many people have so many different thoughts.
i also hate when people act like different people when they're around different people. when people try to please whoever's there - to be cool depending on whoever they're trying to please's standards of "cool." i also feel like i said "people" a whole lote in that paragraph. gosh people.
i don't like when people have bad hygiene.
i made wind ensemble this semester again! 3rd chair! right behind the 5th year senior and the grad student! pretty exciting. they're both gonna be gone next year spring semester, i believe. wow. we have a pretty young section. i hope we can handle it.... also, i really like the solo that grymes (my clarinet teacher) gave me - it's by saint-saens. the beginning also kinda reminds me of a song by ludo (the horror of our love) which is a really random song - but just the first few measures of both songs.
so i've been sitting in the laundry room forever. so bored. my roommate went on a date. i didnt. everyone's gone for the long weekend. i'm not. man i'm bored.
ask me questionssss! please! http://www.formspring.me/lauraturk

most boring post ever...
so guess what. one of my math classes is writing intensive. which means... i have to write in them - sometimes papers! but yeah, here's an example... (you can skip it if you want)
Axiom: Every integer is either even or odd.
Theorem: If a is an integer and a^2 is an even integer, then a is an even integer.
Proof: Let a be an integer where a^2 is an even integer. If a were odd such that a=2q+1 for some integer q, a^2 would be odd because 2(2q^2+2q)+1 is odd. If a were even such that a=2q for some integer q, a^2 is also even because 2(2q^2) is even. So, since all odd integers squared equal odd integers and all even integers squared equal even integers and all integers must be either even or odd, a must be even. Q.E.D.
So yeah, that was part of my homework for the first day :/.... i haven't done proofs since geometry - but those were different. i guess these are more like the justification part in calculus.
oh, and if you ever get a chance to learn how to play steel drums - do it! it's fun. i'm learning now - i play 4 drums with 5 notes on each and the hardest part is learning where all the notes are.... it's not really logical to me, but i'll figure it out. we have practice on sundays and tuesdays from 8-10pm. I'm looking forward to a concert! haha

hey! ask me a question...
http://www.formspring.me/lauraturk
it's anonymous, i promise.
and i'll answer.
unless i'm horribly offended, but i doubt i will be.

bowl games...
well, bowl games, i must admit, are fun. they are freezing cold, at least they are when they're in memphis on january 2nd, 2010, and you might lose after overtime because of a kicker that can't kick straight, but, overall, they are fun. especially the parades and pep rallies and the battle of the bands - not so much the 16 hour bus rides....
just thought you should know.
happy new year!

i should figure out how to put videos up for real, but i'm about to go to bed so not now. but i'm in there! at around 2:50 i believe. i look goofy, but so does everyone else - it was fun, though!
