our light is broken

another week has come and gone...
unfortunately the nice spring weather didn't last long. we had cold days and on friday, it snowed. wtf? it literally snowed for 8 hours and then melted. that's sweet, right? bhlarrrgh.

so yeah, i'm chilling in the library right now. the lights at our table don't work so i'm sitting basically in the corner, shrouded in darkness. i feel like a ninja. lauren is trying to find books for our project on celtic music, and i am sitting here watching her purse.

this past week was really eventful in many ways. it was advising week, so i met up with dr. w a few times to get my schedule in order and plan out the next two years. basically, i have three semesters left to squeeze everything in. i will have to stay next summer, especially if i am going to do an honor's thesis in order to get an honor's diploma. w thinks it's a good idea because he says that i am going to be a professor of teacher education one day, and that always looks good on resumes. i really don't know if i can do it though, because i still have to take two honors courses plus write an honors thesis, and this all has to be done before the spring of my senior year. i can't take any other classes that semester because i will be student teaching full time. so three semesters it is. god i'm scared. i really have no clue if this is going to happen... but i REALLY do not want to stay an extra year, and i really can't. my scholarships are only for four years, and i will not have the funds to cover the rest of it unless i declare independency from my parents and take out loans. i don't want to be in debt the rest of my life. ugggh things are so complicated. i've met with w twice so far, and i'll probably have to meet with him again.

thursday i got to have a semi-private lesson with a really great trumpet player... he hosted a masterclass and i was literally the only student. it was really helpful, actually. i learned that i work too hard when playing, and i need to improve my breathing. then this guy gave a recital on friday night. damn i wish i could play like that. he played a really well known trumpet piece, and it was really cool to hear the inner movements because i am not as familiar with them.

friday... friday was really nice, minus the snow! we were supposed to go observe some high school bands in the area, but they all had a snow day. soooo because i had already been excused from classes... i didn't go lol. i only really missed info in my stats class, but i can catch that up.

saturday, jarred gave his junior recital. i thought he did really well. he's such a great pianst, even though he doesn't think so. after that, we hung out at his house for most of the night.

yesterday professor fab gave her last official recital before retirement. i can't even begin to tell you how amazing she is. i love that woman to death - she's so talented and such a wonderful person.

OHHH!! i almost forgot! last wednesday was housing lottery. savannah and i got a two person house on fountain ave. for next year. i am soooo excited. it is a giant house that has been split into different little apartments, and we are the only two person one. all the others are one person. i feel like we are going to be the loud obnoxious neighbors lol.

well, we will see how life goes. things are busy. life is good. it's going to be near 70 degrees on wednesday. i'm going home for easter on friday morning!
