I decided to start using OD again…

I miss Open Diary.  I upgraded to OD Plus for one month, to see how I like it.

Well, what’s going on here… I’m taking a class at MU.  It’s called Medical Ethics and the professor is Bill Bondeson, a friend of my parents.  It’s a great class and I’m really enjoying it.  The homework isn’t too bad, but it’s worth a third of my grade, so I need to make sure I don’t neglect it.

I’m going to MU full-time in the fall.  I haven’t figured out the work situation yet – I don’t know how I’m going to pay my bills while I’m in school, unless I work at night.  I’ll have to quit my office job then, because the hours we’re open will conflict with my class schedule.

I’m going to see my psychologist next Tuesday.  I haven’t seen him in a long time, and I’m looking forward to it.  A lot’s been happening in my life.  My band’s new album comes out on March 30th, and I have no idea how we’re going to pay for the album pressing.  I could put it on my credit card, but damn it, that’s how we paid for the recording, too.  It’s like I’m supporting this band by myself.  I’m not a record label, you know?  This is a bottomless pit.  I do love our music, though, and I love Church (our guitar player/singer, who writes all the music & lyrics).  I’m not quitting this band until I go to Boston.  And even then, we’ll see.

I would feel better about all of this if I felt like Church was doing everything he could to make this band successful.  He’s pledging a fraternity right now, and has no time for the band at all.  This just seems like a really bad time to do that – our album is coming out in 5 weeks!  We have a huge CD release party booked and so far only 50 people for-sure coming.  What the fuck?  We haven’t done any public promotion yet; it’s all through Facebook.  I think it will probably turn out alright, though.  It’s just going to take a lot of work.

I’ll write more soon.
