Well... my oboe has been sent to California to be adjusted so that it's in perfect shape for my recital. That,...and so I'll have a bit of a break from practicing. I just hope my oboe got there before closing time at the shop so it doesn't sit outside for three days over the weekend..... AAAGH. Wouldn't that just be grand if I sent my oboe to ( Read more... ) -
Quel beau jour!
I have a new favorite spot on campus. Deb and I went for a walk out on the trails behind Peffer Park on this gorgeous afternoon. It was absolutely wonderful--the fresh outdoor scent, the light filtering in through the canopy of trees, the quiet creek trickling underfoot. One of the trails led up to a cliff overlooking a large section of the ( Read more... ) -

Le français me manque. (C'est probablement vrai que je suis folle; les courses de français sont difficiles, mais ils me manquent aussi). Meh. Je suis en train d'écouter Carla Bruni. Jusqu'à ce moment, je pensais que son nom est "Clara." Mais j'avais tort. Elle a une belle voix--les mélodies et harmonies sont superbes ( Read more... ) -
Les changements
So I got bored and decided to make some changes to my journal. I think I like it--for now anyhow. We'll see if it lasts. I've just been feeling kind of restless lately; I think classes are getting to me. Meh, it happens. I am really excited for tomorrow, though. I am finally home for one of Josh's track meets. He's always being dragged to my ( Read more... ) -
Sorry, Hindemith...
We performed our final concert of the season last night (Wind Ensemble). It was the first concert that I had been REALLY excited for in a long time. One of the trumpet players and I were talking earlier in the day about how we thought our interpretation of the piece was better than several recordings we have heard of it, and that this was going ( Read more... ) -

Isn't it ironic that the moments when you feel the loneliest are those moments when you suddenly notice how many happy couples there are in the world? Most days, I am really ok with where I am. I'm happy being single for now. For a long time from now, too, really... I know I'm not ready for any kind of serious relationship and it'll probably be ( Read more... ) -
*It's an Easy Bake SUV!*
Well, my first experience teaching in an actual school for a significant length of time has passed. I survived. Barely. Hah... All five of us who went to day had anywhere between 1-2 hours of sleep total the night before, and yet we managed to stay awake all day. Be impressed. At any rate... it wasn't too bad. I didn't do very well in my ( Read more... ) -

So I never got dressed today; my pajamas were simply too comfortable. It was most definitely a lazy day. My family and I watched the Monk marathon for most of the day (I love that guy) and now we're watching Sleepless in Seattle. I REALLY don't want to go back to classes in a week. Mostly, I don't want to touch the oboe ever again. Hopefully ( Read more... ) -
hah.

Why is it so difficult to trust in someone who has NEVER let you down? If he/she has not once failed you or spoken false words to you, why is it so out of the question to believe that he/she will continue to do so? Someone who always keeps his promises and proves to be reliable and dependable through the most arduous of times is obviously someone ( Read more... )
