School has started...
Another update on my life:
~ School has started and things are going pretty well. This term, I'm only taking one critical studies class since I was on the waiting list for one and didn't get in (such is my luck w/ waiting lists...). So, that leaves my Wednesdays open until 4, which is pretty cool - I'll be able to work!! After that, we've decided to have oboe studio class from 6-7, which will be great.
~ Speaking of oboe, Gayle, the new freshman oboist and I went w/ Allan down to the Hollywood Bowl to hear him play principle in Tchaikovsky's 5th symphony - just like he did last year, but playing the 4th...All in all, it was a great time - Allan looks very dignified w/ glasses and, of course, the concert was amazing, as the Philharmonic always is. I ended up getting a free (otherwise $30) ticket and we actually moved down a few rows since the seats were empty - it's so great to see your teacher on those huge screens. The only interesting, or perhaps, odd thing was that I wasn't as moved by the last movement as I was when I first listened to the recording, but I think may be the fact that I'm getting more acquainted w/ the piece itself. I still think, however, that the theme in the major mode in last movement is awesome - it's simple, but so powerful...
~ I'm getting my car tonight!!!!! I'm SOOO happy it's finally going to be here - I can now stop bumming rides and get my life back!! Yay! I just don't really want to pay $3 for gas, but, oh well. Such is life living out here.
~ Other than that, I'm pretty satisfied w/ the way things are going around here, in my life in general (knock on wood). Hopefully, they will continue to only get better!
More to come, as usual.
