Update (not quite signing off):
So I finally got into Dr. K's class. This means I have 3 main classes (one less than I usually do) and the normal load to ensembles and lessons. If we were still in credits, it would be 18. Last semester it was 20--be proud of me for cutting back--but not so fast: I have bio research all semester in the lab and a ( Read more... )

Just woke up. It’s 10:35. Class has just let out. Damn.

Just recieved an SMS from one La Scala player suggesting I call a different La Scala player--haha.

Actually it's not so cool, becasue appartently Torsten isn't doing too good. Uh oh. Prayers for him.

Birthday party for ?? tonight. Invited by Claudio. Much fun, although I didn't understand much. Con il vino, posso capire meno, ma parlo meglio. Had spent the evening with claudio (after dinner and of course a coffie), who painstakingly helped me correct my Italian essay.

I have a delightful time with Sophie at an aperitivo near her work (yellow line). She noticed how my head turned as we passed a beautiful dress store. Good to see her since we are both missing so much of church and choir. I feel bad not having a better excuse for missing choir-at least tourism with singing or something. She is also quite busy with ( Read more... )

Just got off the phone. With Dr. Kinsley (rat guy from UR…working with him over the summer).  I want to take his class in the fall (I must be crazy to do this again), but it filled up before I registered (ironic since I am a senior scholar…other circumstances were at play...like last minute getting Doc’s permission not to take Music 229).  I ( Read more... )
