Bon.

Well, here’s your less-than-frequent update:

1. Apartment – Absolutely loving it. It’s nice to have people around to hang out with. The bus runs perfect hours on a short little route past the apartment every 5 minutes and drops off right outside of the music building, so getting to classes is quite easy. I have built up a nice little stack of food, but I’m beginning to feel the pinch of how expensive it can get shopping for things that both taste good and are good for me. I’ll figure it out soon enough, until then I guess I’ll be floundering a bit financially.

2. Marching band – Hell. For some reason my director is still insisting that we’re going to Baton Rouge on Friday for the game, even though it seems like the entire southern half of Louisiana is in complete chaos right now. Oh well, we’ll see. I’ve excused absences from all of my classes friday, blah blah blah, no skin off my back. I just can’t wait until the season’s over.

3. School – I must be abso-fucking-lutely crazy. I’ve signed myself up form 17 hours. On Monday it turned out that a section of P.M.S. (Principles of Musical Study) with the exact professor opened I wanted opened up at the exact time I wanted. It’s only 1 hour twice a week, so it’s not even all that time consuming, and I think the biggest part of outside work will be observations at different schools.

Loving all of my classes thus far (save for theory) and can’t wait to buy my baton for conducting. I’m a dork, I know.

Anyhoo, gotta catch the bus. Leave me love.
