First of the new Semester

So...news....

It's been a while, I don't really know where to start...

Today I got a letter in the mail from TMEA, I got the scholarship again, yay! $2500 for school next year. They will send me the check after I get them proof of registration again, so we know not to tell Trinity about it next year.

I have been to almost all of my new classes by now. I have a couple classes that only meet on mondays (so I won't get to those until the 26th), and private lessons don't start until next week. Of course I enjoy my music classes, but I think that argumentation and PAD 1 are both going to be great. Jared's class is going to be a lot of work again (that would be Argumentation), but I know how he operates now, so there won't be any surprises. I really like my schedule so far as well. I can walk to and from most classes with either Nik or Marisa, and I always have someone to eat lunch with (I'm still busy from 3-9 straight on thursdays, but that's alright). I even get nap times occasionally!

I found a yoga studio near school, and am going to start taking classes on friday (that would be tomorrow...) It's $162 for 20 classes, I think that sounds pretty fair. Especially if I could convince mom and dad to pay for them *ahem* since it is such good excercise, and I don't have time to take yoga at school because I'm so studious and taking 18 hours already.

This would be the point when I need feedback in the form of questions for me to answer, so have at it! Here is the current schedule of performances that I have:

March 2 Orchestra Concert
March 21 Choir Concert
April 19 Band Concert (Contrabassoon)
April 25 Choral Union (choir and orchestra)

Additionally, there will be another voice studio recital, and a choir performance at a church to get ready for the tour.

Some pictures for your entertainment:

These include my dance partner, Sam, and I at our Country/Western dance final in completely matching clothes, and Nik in New Mexico lying in the snow in snow-ball defeat.
