To answer Karen's questions:

- The lunch hour is a very elusive, fleeting character. It can sometimes be found between seminar and jazz history on tuesdays and thursdays, though most of the time it is a hurried thing at 2 after jazz history. Mondays and fridays it is pretty regularly found at 12:30 after dance, but fridays, it is around 11:00. 

- I am taking 17 hours.

- At Trinity we have what's called a common curriculum, which means that math, english, and science are replaced by "understanding cultural heritage," "understanding arts and literature," "understanding human social interaction," "understanding quantitative reasoning," and "understanding natural science and technology." In each of the 5 "understandings" we are required to take between 3 and 9 hours of classes. Some of the understandings are broken up too, and there are hour requirements for each sub-understanding. 

- I don't think they have a class on that, but that would be REALLY cool.... I will suggest it I think.

Major happenings in the past couple days:

- I got a job as Dr. Bigler's choral assistant, woo!

- I finally convinced one of my guy friends to join my dance class with me, so I now have a partner for class, woo!

- I went to see Flobots in concert, woo!

- I went to lunch with Georgeanne and the boys, and Drew drove me around.... slightly scary, but a fun time was had by all.

- I have been roped into volunteering at Each One Teach One every saturday morning this semester. It's an adult literacy center which provides private tutors to adults who are below a 5th grade reading level. It's actually really cool, and I think it will be fun.

- I rode city buses into down town for the EOTO thing on saturday... it was an adventure all by itself (yes, I was with a group)

- I may or may not be playing in a woodwind quintet outside of Trinity. I was at a music store getting manuscript paper when the salesguy and I started talking, turns out that he's a band director who plays clarinet who has been looking to do a quintet and all he needed was a bassoon.... 

- weekends are very free for me at this point, and most of monday I spent sitting aroun

d in my room. It's really weird having free time... but I will do my best to keep as much of it as I can
