I'm Back

I know it has been a while since I've written - life has been hectic to say the least. Both good and bad things have happened, and I feel this is as good a time as any to update on my life.

School is over and everyone is gone, which always makes me disappointed. I can't wait to see everyone in September; it seems so far away but yet will be here so soon anyway. I finished with a 3.63 GPA for the semester, which is actually my worst semester to date. I'm not worried or anything, because it was also the semester where I loaded up on general education classes that I really couldn't care less about. I had 22 credits total, so I think a 3.63 is more than good.

As of now, I'm slowly settling into my summer routine. I will be working from 8:30 to 1:00 Mon-Thurs and 8:30 to 4:30 on Fridays for the month of June, and will be taking Ethics during the month of July. I honestly cannot wait for that class to begin; it really seems like a class that could have a fantastic effect on my education at the U.

Also, my summer has been pretty good on the "things to do" list, after I was worrying about not having anything to do. Last Friday, a group of good friends and I went to see a Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees game which was AWESOME, but also served as proof why a bunch of self-proclaimed music nerds should not attend a baseball game. Being that it was girl scout night, we were surrounded by children who were not too appreciative of our harmonizing The Star Spangled Banner and Holst's 2nd Suite. But we are seriously considering putting together a nice small-group arrangement of the Banner to sing. Also last week, I met up with my good friends in New York City and saw the most awesome amateur Beatles band - videos will be posted eventually. Finally, today, I went with a fellow trombonist to pick up a fellow trombonist from Philadelphia International Airport. All in all, it has been a fairly entertaining beginning of the summer.

More posts will follow as things occur.
