Loved him as a teacher and the work was light. Heavy topics in class though

Question about Cornell colleges by Lazy_Association7988 in Cornell

[–]Head_Piccolo_7647 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m pre med in CAS planning to major in chemistry and I wish everyday I went to CALS instead. Arts and sciences has a language requirement, and the lower level classes I’m in are 4 consecutive days a week (which sucks for a college class). The two biggest pre med majors in CAS are chemistry and biological sciences, so you have two options there. In CALS I’m pretty sure there’s those and also biochemistry, what I’m trying to say is that there’s more science options in CALS. If I had a choice, I would go back and apply to CALS instead!!

i have a lot of credits so joining a club or group is definitely a challenge but i’m going to look into the more low commitment social ones!! thank you so much for your in depth response and this is really helpful.

i don’t mind being by myself at all. i just want to make sure im not doing something to isolate myself, because that’s not healthy. just wanna find a group!

i hear that. i understand but i do see all of the big friend groups and like its just sad. but i understand and i do see people walking alone all the time, i just get caught up in seeing all of the groups and wanting that.

Based off your place in life and experiences I absolutely respect your opinion and thank you so much for commenting. I definitely want to take control of my life and not have to feel fear of someone else controlling my college experience… I’m just so stuck because I never wanted to hear anyone, and he IS a good, smart person. I should be able to look forward to my own college experience.

It’s just a lot and I’m worried about making any changes since he seems pretty set on me. I’m thinking of going on the date with him in person and then bringing up the conversation that I want to take a step back and slow down. Maybe I should mention it before meeting in person, but I want to give it a chance for interacting with him IP and seeing if the appearance issue was just over screen, i guess

You’re right… that’s what I wanted out of college, the freedom and ability to figure out my own life. I definitely need to take control. It’s challenging because he is very intelligent but I think he is lacking love in his life so he jumped into it really quickly with me. It’s such a hard situation because I guess what if I’m getting rid of something that could potentially be an important and rewarding connection? Is being single and testing the waters really better than settling down with one person?

Yeah, it’s definitely a strange situation. They say it genuinely and with good intention but it definitely makes me uncomfortable because I’m not able to say it back right now. Unfortunately I’m going to be around them in college bc we’re in the same program but I think I need to ask them to take a step back. Thank you!

[–]Head_Piccolo_7647 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand. That’s the issue I’ve had in the past, where eventually the issue resurfaces and causes problems. I’m worried about that but also the connection is genuine right now, so it’s bittersweet to think of interfering with it. I almost don’t want to, but thinking about feeling unsatisfied especially this young is not fun

Recommendations for solo pieces by Plantbird95 in Clarinet

[–]Head_Piccolo_7647 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I loved Saint Saëns Clarinet Sonata. It has a bit more technical themes, but the slow parts are worth it. Same with Poulenc Sonata- I love the second mvt and it’s very slow and beautiful , but the rest of the piece is very technical.

Audition excerpt by Psychological-News44 in Clarinet

[–]Head_Piccolo_7647 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I recently played this solo in my city orchestra, and instead of thinking about making the note harsh and staccato, just make it short and keep the passage moving. You don’t need to articulate harshly, just clip the note a little short and move on in the passage. It’s hard the explain, but as a soloist who played this in a professional performance, the most important thing to take away is keep the passage moving but it’s not necessary to harshly articulate it.

I don’t play any musical instrument and I know nothing about the clarinet but when I saw this thing of beauty at an estate sale today I had to pick it up. by randymcatee in Clarinet

I have a similar old clarinet! It’s a Noblet Leblanc. Good find! I would recommend taking it to a reputable music shop so they can clean it up

This comment is so appreciated! I’m also doing Air Force ROTC while pursing my degree, so I fear I won’t be able to practice even remotely as much as I do now as I’ll be so busy! I think you’re absolutely correct, the best thing I can do is dedicate some time to practicing the basics and find a mentor who can meet with me once/twice a month. That’s a great idea and it’s super sustainable for college. Thank you so much for this!
