Merry Christmas.

Its Christmas, and I very nice one at that. Nothing crazi or chaotic, just simple and laid back. We watched TV for a while, opened our gifts, went snowshoeing, shoveled the walks, watched some more TV and ate a delicious dinner. I made it over to Shane's house for a little while too which was fun, saw all the Maggarts as well as Katie. It was good to see them all. Plus we brought them presents since they broke into our house to help our dogs when we were stuck in Seattle. Never thought I'd have to say that sententce. Life is good. Listening to good music and I'm comfy and cosy. Now that is a good holiday.

Strings

Somehow, bittersweet string music always makes me feel like crying. They just get that mournful sound down pact. But in happier news, I just finished my last final. And yet I still have three pieces of homework to do...Don't really get that one. Also, my computer temporarily died on me this morning. Scared me something fierce, I managed to get it going again, at least temporarily, but now ALL my music and pics are backed up. Not a mistake I'll be making again. I think it was just spiting me though, as I did buy a new computer last night. I can't wait for it to get here! Should be about a week and that's not long at all.

Woot

So it's been an adventuresome couple days. I passed my pre-recital jury...barely, discovered teaching first grade music is a ton of fun, the B-Girls got the shop cleaned up, and I'm currently finishing my last homework assignment for the quarter. Can't get much better than that! Except for the fact that I just bought a new computer! I can't wait for it to be delivered. Go life.

Waiting...

Sitting in the music building, waiting for my jury. They're already about 10-20 minutes behind which will be interesting since my accompanist has to scoot out 15 min. early. There is not going to be enough time for us to play everything we have to...I don't really know how that's going to work out. But that's okay. We'll just have to wait and see. I'm looking forward to pizza and beer tonight though, that is going to be nice. Nice conclusion to a long day. Go Finals!

No such thing as the real world...

I'm done with classes. All I have left is student teaching, thesis, senior recital, and 30 hours of volunteer work. That is just ridiculous to me, and I don't really know what to make of it right now. I feel like there is so much I need to pull away from, but I don't really know how and now it seems life is descending upon me. I think that's a good thing, but strange none-the-less. I guess I can just hold tight and enjoy the ride.
