A new Quarter

So yesterday was supposed to be my first day of student teaching, but there was a snow day. Jen and I were trying to go down to Lewiston, but it was whiteout conditions. It was kinda crazi. Instead we ended up chilling all over Spokane and watching movies. We saw Yes Man and movie hoped to Desperaux. Both were very fun movies and it was really a very good day. I also started working on my thesis. I don't think it will be especially hard to write by anymeans. I'm also about to go to student teaching today now. Today was two hours late. This weather is absurd right now. I can't believe how much it has put life on hold. Oh well! Just keep puttering through.

A whole new year.

So I'm chillaxing at Schweitzer. It's been a fun couple of days here. We went sledding to bring in the New Year last night, and had an all around good time. We taught Collin's girlfriend Courtney to ski today, which was a lot of fun. She forgot to get off the chairlift. It was amusing for sure. Heather and I are sitting downstairs eating popcorn and just all around relaxing. It's rather nice. Not a bad way to start a new year. I start student teaching on Monday...that's kinda weird to think about. I'm not really stressing about it at all though which is nice and unexpected. I'm really kind of excited for it. I hope it goes well. So hear's a toast to the new year! May it be a fun and beautiful one!

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.
