in case you didn't know, i'm currently a piano performance major. sad though, cause i'm not that great.
random person: what are you talking about eric? you're blah blah awesome at piano blah blah.
alright, y'all are a bunch of liars. let's face it, compared to everyone else in the school of music, i am pretty terrible. i'm not sure what made me want to major in piano. maybe i wasn't interested in anything else at the time i was applying for colleges. or maybe it was around 3 in the morning when i was trying to fill them out and i wasn't thinking straight.

  nonetheless, being a music major last year was definately a blast, despite how much of a failure i was. i made some incredible friends, and we had some awesome adventures together. but seriously, i don't think i'm that interested in being a music major anymore. the long hours that are required to lock yourself up ina practice room, or scribbling a bunch of notes on staff paper and labeling the chords. it's just not...eric i guess.

  so what should i major in then. quite frankly, i have no idea! taking a look at all my accomplishments and my abilities, it seems that the only thing i'm good at is...hurting myself. (i wonder what kind of accident i will get into this fall! can't wait har har). sadly, there's no major that you can "hurt yourself" in, because if there was, that would be messed up.
random person: what about writing stories? or drawing?
what in texas hell fire? where did this random person come from?
random person: um...i have no idea...
anyways, i don't think i'm that good in writing stories, because if i was, people would actually read them. and my drawings are a bunch of random doodles, which usually end up in the trashcan. or if i drew them on photoshop they get deleted.
random person: wow you suck
thanks...i didn't know that

  so i kept laying there, and wondered if i even liked music. well, yea of course. sure it can be a hassle, but if i didn't enjoy the piano so much, why would i bother taking piano lessons for the longest time? the only reason i quit was because the teacher was charging some crazy amount (like 80 bucks an hour) and i was about to go to college. i like listening to music. i can recognize a bunch of different tunes. heck, i even taught myself perfect pitch.
random person: wait...you taught yourself perfect pitch?? that's f---ing crazzzy!!1!
go away you freak!
random person: i'm also sooooo f---ing drunk!1!!
great beard of zeus someone get him out of here!

  anyways, why do i want to switch out of music? simply because i cannot stand practicing. especially on a pretty tight schedule. i enjoy people just giving me a relatively easy piece, and asking me to sight read it for them for a bit. or just play some pieces here and there. i enjoy practicing whenever i want to learn whatever piece i want to learn, depending on if i want to learn it or not. then i thought about being a music studies (instrumental emphasis) major, as in being an orchestra director. besides learning how to dance/sing well (ddr and karaoke do not count), i wanted to conduct a orchestra. it's just fascinating how you can make a bunch of kids play an entire piece by waving a stick around, and you can make funny faces or give them an angry look without the audience knowing what you're doing.
