3 weeks until I go home!! HOORAY!! Now, if only I make it through the next week!!! Between rehearsals, concerts, lessons, classes, and practicing, I think I've become a little NUTS!! For instance, I woke up at 5am today......that's right 5AM.......to do homework, until 6am, at which point I walked(in the dark) to the music school to practice for a singing test and then had a quintet rehearsal at 7:30am (which our oboe player didn't show up for anyways!!), so the rehearsal was pointless and I could have slept for an extra hour......or perhaps more realistically, worked on homework for an extra hour.

I have come to a conclusion......they really need to wash the exterior of our windows!! I can hardly see out mine because of all the water spots from the recent abundance of rain. It's such a nice day outside today, but I don't realize that, because all I see is the dirt that covers my window!! On well.....nothing I can do about that now......must concentrate at the tasks at hand.....HOMEWORK!!

Anyway....the countdown is on!! I make my grand CALGARY appearance in only 3 weeks!! Make sure you're ready!! haha!! Must get back to my paper, in which I'm trying to justify the importance of music education. Wish me luck!!
