bitter melon music.

bitter melon music.

(I just bought this wallet today. . . are you amused? Cause I am.)

Today, music theory was canceled again, but he responded to my video stating that it brightened his day, and we will all receive 100%! He'll be back on Tuesday, so I'm assuming his surgery went well, and that's quite a relief!

I ended up skipping my class after that, and went with Josh to Que Hong, a Vietnamese restaurant. I ordered grilled chicken fried rice (#F2) and thai tea, YUM! Although. . . I do find the idea of ordering F1 terribly amusing. :)

(I practically inhaled my food. I was so ridiculously hungry. I really need groceries.)

I did drop by the ATEC building to officially sign up for the game production class, and decided it would be a great time to drop by Frank (the sound professor)'s office. Though Monica recommended asking him about internships, unfortunately, Frank admitted that he would not be much help in terms of sound/music for video games, bummer! I did meet with another aspiring sound guy, Mike, who told me that he'd try and see if he can find an internship for me in audio (though not related to gaming). I just really want to get my feet wet, so I'm really trying to push forward!

Later, I went to see my sister play for the musical at her high school. I met up with a couple of guys I had theatre with back in the day, so that was pleasant. Then. . . I saw my arch nemesis. Seriously, if there was one person in the whole world I'd beat up, it'd be her (and I'm not really a violent person). Chris joked later about how I should slap her. But slap her? Psh, forget that. UPPERCUT!!!!

Anyways, it was really funny actually. A few months ago, I had a dream in which I discussed our previous issues, how she treated people, etc, and tried to patch things up with her. It was rather cathartic! In fact, the day after that, I dropped by her house and tried to invite her to lunch, but no one was home. Regardless, I felt much better about myself and life in general, haha. Long story short, she is a very manipulative person whom I was once best friends with. It's a rather tragic and bitter story, to be honest. But lo and behold, there she was in all of her arrogant glory. To be honest, I was quite shocked and amused at how bitter I still feel. She doesn't seem to have changed much. But boy, was I glad that she didn't sit with us. :) Don't get me wrong, I really do wish her success in life. I just bitterly hope that karma will come around. Yeah. . . I'm bitter. . . (btw, bitter melons, have you ever had them boiled in soup?)

That aside, the musical was downright terrible. On the bright side, I supported my sister (who played with the orchestra).

I also talked to my old theatre director, who asked what I was planning on doing. She seemed a bit amused by the idea of my working in the game industry for music, and pointed out that I had helped find music for one of our plays. Of course, I set it straight. I want to make the music. <3

Afterwards, I found a delightful e-mail from my professor saying that a game company in our area is looking for an intern!!! I'm really worried though, because I'm assuming that they're looking more for an audio person, not a composer (based on the games that they create), and that's where I am really lacking expertise. Tomorrow, I'm meeting with my professor to check over my resume and whatnot (I wonder if I have time to make a few songs before then?). Nonetheless, I would love to learn under their guidance, so I hope all goes well! But I know if it doesn't work out, I'm just going to keep working.

I'm moving forward.



I wanted to tell you, but I think you're busy.
