I want to do hip hop.

I'm old and it's time! I did some ballet!



Careers

People are trying to say why don't we be aware of things that bind differences, like in careers.  I am happy in mine and am aware of the connections if any.

Being More Open?

People acted like I needed to come out and I'd be fine, but I moved to Orlando and it wasn't.  I was not considered a bad person anywhere before I moved here.

They kicked me outta college saying I was too shy, outta my major.

It sounds kinda easy if only I could remember steps better.  This must not be competitive like ballet.

This must be a dream, not a reality.

I hope the Finns who do this have a lotta fun.  I didn't think it would become a different world to me.  I am used to being in the US with my family there.  Finns are at home there, I've contemplated, like close to family and to feel a tug still.

I dunno about my Master's or another Bachelor's.  Loyola seemed to thrust you into ballet, like they do with folk dance.  I wonder if I could learn more languages.  I wish I would be interesting to work in Hollywood in the US.  I wanted to have a talk show or be on ones that are made for people to be on, like Victoria Jackson (born in 1959 in Miami, Florida, US,) in SNL (Saturday Night Live) several/numerous times.  Ever heard of the good days of SNL?  That was before today.

See, I was kicked outta Music Education.  I want to be a performer and teacher of general music.  To teach dance, you'd have to have some meat under your belt.  I wanted to be like in the board of music education, but I also wanna perform and be famous.  I dug into that dream a lot before, I think.  I'm sorta hanging on for dear life, now.

See, I have a theory that people who do that in Finland are very at home.  That's not what I asked for, to be treated so special.  It's sorta a dream, to do folk dancing in a cold place in Europe, tho I love all equally.  It's just a decision some people make, you know?..  People in the cold supposedly are fairer and it's a jolly time in the US to see snow if you appreciate it, but I dunno all about that..

I am used to leaving my family, tho, for other things and need to do something for myself.  This is in line with my goals, just seems very exuberant.  Life doesn't seem as precious as we are made to believe, anymore.  I sorta like supporting my parents emotionally.  They seem happy to see me do what they did and go across the world.

I hope that people in the world can be happy.  Something tugging at me is to go to Europe.  Something else is to achieve worthy fame.  I was actually sorta famous where I was or would be treated like I should be.  Things sure have changed with Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005.)  I don't agree with the changes in the world.  I am thankful for my favorite movie, tho.

cont.

The Bachelor's level seems more about performance than graduate studies.

They have a degree in researching folk and popular.  That sounds like a good Master's degree..

I am not sure how long I could stay there.  I didn't really want to leave my family.

I can see myself being there 3 years and easily maybe 1 year.

I didn't see any nonsense about general studies but language.  So, I'd take Finnish!

I want to do melodic percussion for my instrument.  I luckily have some experience, which some was good some not in a way, tho I enjoyed it a lot.  I'm not someone who'd sit however and drum to no music for an hour or so.  I know the Japanese do that from going to Epcot, as I live in Central Florida.  If I had to do drums, too, to do that, however, I would.  Something different.  That's what this is to me.  Unless it was like shooting for a doctorate or something, which I met someone who wanted one.  I mean in chosing percussion, the drums.  It seems percussionists who are good in college do piano.  I like to do the special instruments or want to, that is.  You know, like chimes or other melodic bells.  There apparently exist in the world interesting ones that set down that aren't like a xylophone.  So, I was a piano major for a year and can still play but not as much as before and got rid of my college piece..  Singing is what I most want.  They ask a lot of keyboardists to be amazing without playing with others much.  Maybe, I'm just not prepared.

A Dream of Mine

Finnish Folk Music Degree (in Finland)

(It won't paste right.)

If I go the Bachelor's route, I will definitely enroll in Folk Dancing.  Master's is optional to do studies in supplementary to music ehehe.  So, Folk Dancing would be minor studies or optional to Master's route.

In Loyola, I did ballet as a minor and if I went there again would be elective.  Voice would be my major and it would be opera etc.
