My name is Taylor Mroski, from the reasonably close city of Covington, Louisiana. I'm 19 years old. I've been playing music since the fourth grade. At Loyola, I am a jazz bassist, studying music education. (subject to change). I play Euphonium in the wind ensemble here. I am also a singer/songwriter and guitarist, and since I have arrived here I have recently formed a band of my own. So far it is still nameless. I am very active in my church. I play bass in the band there, as well as help lead small group bible studies for the youth.
It feels notable to mention that I am pretty shy in the classroom, but I speak a bit louder on paper. I take time to consider things rather than just blurt in the classroom, mostly because I really try to make whatever I say match exactly how I feel. One of the most important things to me is staying true to myself so that when a person sees me, there is nothing hidden. I think that's part of the reason that I can honestly say that I am truly a happy person.
I am pretty scatter-brained, which, aside from causing me to forget what I am saying mid-sentence, leads me to take up various interests in random activities like camping, longboarding, writing poetry and short stories, and playing various other instruments including but not limited to the didgeridoo. That said due to my short attention span I am completely horrible at all of these things. To me it isn't about how good you get at a hobby so much as how much you enjoy it. After all, these kinds of tasks are for fun, and for me, new things are fun.
Tim Burton class is new, so I already enjoy it. I've always had fun in English class, which makes me think I will love being with this group of people. It seems like this class will be taught in a similar way. I love being in college because now we aren't shunning using social media to teach. Blogs seem like a seriously fun way to learn about the beautifully twisted world that Tim Burton has given us all to explore. Hopefully this method of learning is as communal as I have made it out to be. After all, we all have one similar trait in this class, which is at the very least an interest in Tim Burton's unique style of film.

Hello pal! So I was just wondering, do you have a didgeridoo with you at Loyola? I’ve got one at home made of PVC pipe that kind of just sits in a corner a lot. But sometimes I take it out and wonder how I’m supposed to play it. Perhaps you can enlighten me. Do you do the circular breathing and everything? I’ve been asked that a lot and the answer is always no, but I figured it’s just the standard didgeridoo question.
ReplyDeleteI get what you mean about trying a lot of things and being bad at all of them. But we don’t care do we? Of course not! Here is a list of all the things I’ve tried and given up on: juggling, skateboarding, surfing, volleyball, didgeridoo, mandolin, banjo, drum set, drawing, poetry, biking, basketball, blogging, writing lists, speaking Spanish, archery… there’s a lot more. But anyway, it’s fun to fail.
Love Lydia Kolda
Well, as a matter of fact, yes, I do have a didgeridoo with me on campus, and yes I do circular breathe. I'd love to show you the small amount of stuff that I know how to didgerido.
