Today we had critical listening class and then we had our tech track.
We discussed the exam and how much effort we need to put into it.
You know me, I will put 110% into it...just not sure I have in it me anymore.
I'm starting to feel burned out.
Then we had music video shoots for Zach, Tavis, Dan, Maxine, Stephanie, and Audrey.
Then we had a rehearsal for our Friends CMC Live on Friday.
And tonight/tomorrow morning I have a late night with AnnaMarie.
Me sleeping? Not this week...and I still have a lot of my exam to finish.
But tomorrow? Special Guest... ;)
"Then Luke will come over and shake the camera, as he screams into it...got that?"

Perspective
Yesterday I went to church and then had Dan's recording session. Master 3 was due today and so we worked UBER hard to finish it and make it great.
Then I had AnnaMarie's recording session and we worked hard to get that finished.
Today we listened to Master 3. Both Dan and AnnaMarie's songs had plenty of feedback from Tom, Warren and Marcus and I wrote them all down.
Then after lunch, Warren remastered Dan's master and made it much better, I have to agree.
The next two weeks will be filled with showcases, music videos, and exams. YAY.
"Thank you."

Didn't See That Coming
Today was an exciting day!
We had a exam discussion with Tom for our morning class.
Then Warren discussed with us his clinical depression which was fascinating to learn about and it explained some things.
Then I had lunch.
THEN I started working on my tech final exam. I looked up average living costs and tech terms ALL afternoon.
Then I went to "To Write Love On Nashville" with Rose. Details Details, Burn the Ballroom, Go Go Saggio, Half-Priced Hearts, and Mid Summer Classic performed. It was really fun.
I got to talk to Burn the Ballroom for awhile. They were cute. :) They seemed to enjoy talking to me. We talked about how long they had been together and I talked about CMC.
I loved talking to a band seriously, rather than slobbering over them.
Tomorrow is my time with Marcus to mix and tweak my masters.
"Thank you for that."

And I Thought I Was Going to Be Okay
We had Critical Listening class this morning. We listened to Cream, Led Zep. and The Who.
I went CRAZY when we listened to The Who. I was bobbing my head and dancing. I LOVED IT :)
All thanks to Mom and Dad and the CSIs.
Then we had our tech class where we went over some of the masters. Mine was not looked at but it will be on Friday, with Marcus by my side.
Then I had AnnaMarie's session with Warren. He pretty much added loop and STARTED re-recording her vocals. My mind was boggled. It was like a car wreck that WARREN caused, but I have to clean it up.
Whatever. Ugh. Done. But not (it gets better).
Then I had lunch.
AND THEN the techs and some of the execs went to see Clair Global. http://www.clairglobal.com/
It is where Marcus used to work. "Clair is the premier global sound reinforcement provider and acknowledged audio industry leader, offering a complete array of state-of-the-art products, technical staff and services to the professional touring industry. "
It was awesome to go through their warehouse and talk to the guy in charge, "Scooter. We were there for so long but I lost track of time.
When I got back to the apartment I started to look at our final exams. We have a memorization one and one that will be more of a reference guide for us.
I will preface this with the fact that I have not read any books or written any papers: BUT the memorization one will make me have to study a lot and the reference one is going to be tough and lots of work.
BUT this is the only exam this semester I have had to do. And this semester has been worth it.
So that is the only complaining I will do.
Besides, I'm a natural now ;) I can do it.
These last few weeks should be a bit more relaxing anyways and I have plenty of time to do research and study.
It's been interesting to see this semester in perspective throughout the semester. At different times. Going through different things.
Yes, no matter what, It has been worth it.
:)
"Sweet."

Sucker Punch! *POW*
Today in class we discussed the film Anvil.
Warren pretty much told us that there is an expiration date to our aspirations at times.
...and he's right. We should be ready for that.
We then had our tech class and talked about studio terms and other stuff.
Marcus went in nerd rant and I was trying to keep up but had difficulty understanding.
After that some of us went to Chipotle and came back the apartment and ate it while watching some movies.
Then Rose, Luke, Tavis, Amanda and I went to see Sucker Punch which was AMAZING.
I love when women are able to kick butt. Makes me stronger.
"5, 4, 3, 2, 1..."

And the Work Begins Again...
This morning we had a debriefing of tour. Things that went well and things that didn't.
Warren and Tom seemed really proud of tour, though.
It was good to hear.
I kept my opinions of tour to myself because I knew voicing them wouldn't help anything.
We then discussed our final exam. It will be more of a reference guide for us when we leave CMC but it has a lot of helpful stuff. For instance it will contain terms, budget plans as well as our plans for the future.
We then discussed the schedule for the rest of the semester.
It will be busy!
We have recording sessions, late nights, last master due next Monday, showcases, photo shoots, portrait shots, personality shots, and final exam.
WHoo!
Who is ready!?
We had our tech class and discussed tour and terms used on a usual tour. We also discussed things that go on during a usual tour.
Lunch.
After lunch, Marcus lectured on starting your own website and social networks.
He was interrupted by a tornado warning so our class was moved to the photo studio.
Then I went to Kroger.
Hung out until Community Dinner.
Community Time went well. We talked about things we have learned this semester and how the tour went.
We then watched the movie Anvil, a documentary on the band Anvil.
It was very entertaining to watch.
Tonight I have a late night for AnnaMarie.
Welcome Back, Candice.
