1/2 Spring Semester

Woooooops,
It's Spring Break which means we're halfway through the semester, and I've only written once during it.. My B.
I would feel really uncomfortable just completely ignoring all the things that have happened in the first .5 of the semester, so I'm going to make a list. Probably, as a reader, you will care very little about them. But spewing these events into a blog post will allow me to move forward and write about future events in more depth.

Okay... so since the end of January I have:
-Turned 20 years of age, jesus when did twenty years go by/what have I done with my life thus far? Ugh.
-I can cross over with both feet now on ice, AND do a left backwards crossover. Not to mention hop and spin and switch feet and crazy stuff. But before y'all get too excited, I am by no means headed towards that triple axle crap...I immediately want to throw up when I spin, 'nuff said.
-I built up a tiny amount of lip muscle playing trombone! I can fake my way pretty well through the two toughest big band pieces, and play the rest without sounding miserable. However-I am no jazz cat. Alex Stewart will likely never be saying to me, "Take another helping" in reference to my soloing.
(to follow up though, I lost all of the lip muscle over this break. kudos to me.)
-David Neiweem my choral conductor/voice mentor gave a ridiculous recital. I love when the faculty just whip it out. Meaning they keep their talent all tucked away until BAM RECITAL TIME MUSIC IN YOUR FACE. That's what I meant by whip it out. Were you concerned?
-My flute teacher gave me music I enjoy.
-I completed my Djembe/Conga class. I'm afraid I won't retain the info, but I know about the three different pitches the drums can make and I can produce the sounds. That's a start.
-We started our Choral Music Practicum and I am in absolute awe of the teacher. After watching her I sometimes sit and consider how I can just become her. I'm thinking very strongly of student teaching with her. WHICH IS COMING UP REALLY SOON.
-I went to Montreal with Tricia, Molly, Shannon, and Sheilagh. IT WAS A BLAST. We rocked at being classic college kids. I was proud. Bed bugs in the hotel, Molly saying "bonjour" to everyone we passed, eating poutine twice a day, and dancing off all of the poutine calories. Success.
-Andrew Simeone deleted his facebook.
-There's a cat named Lincoln living in Fletcher Place now, but I call him Brother. In fact, I think I'm going to start calling all masculine things in Fletcher Place, Brother. "Heyyy Brother."
-I've gone through about three water bottles, all of which belonged to Molly. The most recent one was compared to the International Space Station. I lost its cap under a car.
-oh yeah, Atlatl finally came to Burlington. aka: I went to "Metal Monday" at Nectar's. Good bye hearing at the age of 40.

Alright. We're caught up. thank god. I know you were all getting really freaked out. And by all I mean my mother, because she is who reads this. Over and Out.
