| | Got my housing information today. Received an e-mail in all caps telling me that this was my SECOND NOTICE to accept my housing contract or it would be voided (not that I ever got a first notice, because I didn't.) But whatever. I accepted and I'm in class of 17 hall (a.k.a. the transfer center) which is where I wanted to be, so, good. I was worried because I turned it in so late (think late June) I thought I was going to get screwed. But, I didn't! So yay!
Oh and for all you U of I peoples I am going to be visiting the weekend of October 8-ish. Not that you care this far in advance but I promised that I would visit, and I am. To the freshmen among you, I guess you'll just have to figure out a way to survive the first 6 weeks or so without me. It will be tough!! But you can handle it!
Other than that what's been going on. I've been practicing the piano (ha.) It's somewhat painful to be learning among people who are æons ahead of me in skill level. Still, I surprise myself somewhat. Pieces I'm working on now are harder than what I was doing when I quit, and I've had 7 years to forget it. I should be focusing more on relearning the basics, but whatever. Oh and I'm learning theory at the same time (tonic, supertonic, mediant, subdominant, dominant, submediant, leading tone! HA!) which is fun.
Sort of parallel to all that business is I've been borrowing a lot of classical music from the library, and it's interesting. Ives's Symphony No. 4: GR8. Glass etudes and random Ginastera stuff is also cool.
In other news... carbs are wonderful...
This has been an entry to try to convince everyone that xanga is not dead, even though it is. Maybe I'll restart the fad all over again. Or more likely I will just keep updating less and less frequently until I've forgotten about it. |
