The fall semester ended a couple weeks ago and I made the Dean's List. I want to get my GPA up past 3.5 so I can be invited to join Phi Beta Kappa, but I only got it up to 3.4 this semester. Anyway, the upcoming spring semester will be my last at my college and I'm looking to transfer to a university after the summer. Chances are I'll be going to the local university I've mentioned before, but I'm also thinking I'll apply to a few universities in the Washington D.C. area since I'm probably going to major in political science. They're expensive down there, but the internship opportunities at the White House and Capitol Building might be worth it.
Last post (several posts ago), I mentioned I have started experimenting with writing music. Well, I've started out by copying existing works to get the feel for how orchestra music goes together. Then I started making my own arrangements of existing works. So here is an arrangement of John Williams' "Star of Bethlehem" written for Home Alone:
Here's the original version which sounds a lot better than my arrangement :)
If you click at the top of the audioboo player where it says "audioboo", you can go to my audioboo page and find some other arrangements I've done. They all start with "MuseScore - SONG TITLE." Some are decent, some are bad. Star Wars Main Title / Rebel Blockade Runner was my first and is the worst sounding; Call of the Champions is my favorite.
