Billy Black.

I am ΠKA

and I believe in φφka.

Unity.

I have completely forgotten that I began this blog a few months ago.  The time has moved overwhelming quick and I’ve had many phenomenal and disastrous memories since, and for the best.

I find it sad that the most time I have to reflect is during class.  Like right now.  As my professor spends my hard earning scholarship money by asking around the class to see what students know how to cook.   

I’m not a chef.
I’m never going to pursue a career in the culinary arts.
So what the hell difference does it make if I know how to fry a grilled cheese sandwich?  This isn’t teaching me about the major social problems the world is currently suffering.  

Hypoglycemia’s kicking in.  Itching to peace out and to grab a 10-piece before heading to the Pike table.  

Pi Kappa Alpha.  This week begins the last week of my pledge period.
Ingress.  
I am excited yet terrified.  
I am confident yet uncertain.
I am prepared yet not ready for this.

Charles Dickens taught me how to express my feelings well.

I will now bid farewell until my next rant.  
Thanks for reading.
I have no idea where I’m going from here. 

So Today.

Singing Quiz #2 in about two hours.
Fix.

Do La. Do Ti.  Do Do.

American Government exam in about 2 and a half hours.
Death.

Today:
Last day of practicing and prepping for my audition for the Wayne State Music Program.
I’m performing a classical piece: Carcassi #3.
As well as a jazz piece: A Foggy Day by George & Ira Gershwin, arranged by Howard Morgan.
Both being advanced pieces written in different historic periods.

I’m hoping for a great weekend after this audition-
I need excitement.

That is all for now.

Pray For Us All.

So today, my music theory class reviewed the material that’s going to be on the quiz/exam/whatever it is on Friday.  I’m glad that I’m pretty familiar with all of the material with the exception of:

the harmonic overtones of a single note

and

some intervals.

Just enough to make me miss out on a few hours of fun.

Social problems went over how power effects the economy.  I felt like a good amount of the information was common sense, but I still can’t figure out if the exams for this class are going to be easy or difficult.

Then Gabby and I went and grabbed some lunch at the student center.  It was a really good time.

Since she had a class to go to, we both said our farewells.  I went back home to continue studying a jazz piece and a classical piece for my audition that’s coming up really soon.  I’m starting to get a little anxious, but I’m confident that I’m going to make quite the impression.

After my fingers began to blister and deform, I decided to lay down on my bed and let my mind drift off for a while.  I realized something that I never really had a lot of time to think about- but despite the amount of stress that I’ve been enduring this month, including an unfortunate financial circumstance that wayne state threw upon me, AND despite the fact that I always feel exhausted, I can honestly say that my life has become significantly greater since I made the transfer to Wayne State University.

First off, I enjoy the campus so much more and appreciate the fact that I’m not lurking around a rather large high school-ish campus (this would be Oakland University.)  Secondly, despite a rather dry and anti-teaching government class; my classes this semester are beyond excellent and I have been learning so much about knowledge…and as cliche as this sounds, life itself.

But lastly, and all sappiness beside, I must really express my feelings for the Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity.  Though I’ve only just met a majority of the members and only became somewhat close with a handful of them so far, I can really say that I’ve never met such a great group of people.  They have been nothing but good to me and have accepted me for exactly who I am.  I’m so excited that I’ve been asked to become an official pledge- I really think that this is going to make a major impact on my life.  I cannot wait.

With that all said, I’m going to take a night to just relax.  Because I know that I’m really happy, and I know I deserve it.

WAIT!
I want to watch Batman Begins soon.  Blu-ray please.  K thanks.

Oh.  and Saw VI came out on shelves already?  I’m slacking.

With love,

Billy Black.

And For The Record…

What the hell is Jersey Shore?

Laughs.

<3.

The munchies hold me back

I need to work out today.

This is a never ending battle that I lose to every day.

Recognize Defeat.
