I finally have finished all my work for the week and can now begin to relax. I turned in all of my Alexander Techniques homework (barely) and I took my piano proficiency. I felt pretty good about proficiency before I went in, but the very first thing I played I screwed up. I passed everything except my major scales. Dumb!! The rest of my finals should be easy, except I never know what Dr. Lane will surprise us with in World Music. At this point I don't even care.

Mark's recital is in less than 2 hours; I'm excited. I haven't heard him play at all, so it should be a lot of fun. I've been hearing pieces of his charts for a while now, but only in the beautiful MIDI sound that only Finale can do. Last night I heard the theme from Cheers floating through the air, so I'm hopeful!

This weekend should be fun. I have a feeling I will be watching a ridiculous amount of movies and hopefully eating some pie. Can't wait.

I'm beginning to realize that I'm not going to be here next semester. It will be so nice for me to take a break from school, but I think I'm going to miss everyone a lot. Even now I've been thinking about what it will be like when I come back. I'm glad that many of my friends will still be in Eau Claire. It's just too bad that Mark, Dave, Colin, and James won't be around. Things won't be the same without my low brass boys.

I've just decided that I need to be funnier. My blog is boring. I'm going to work with that and see what I come up with. I'll try harder in the future. . . I promise.
