I haven't decided if I like Thursdays or not yet...
Today was quite the day. I told everyone the story about the white cards vs blue cards, and then Liz even said that she came to a possible conclusion that all of the blue cards that were filed away were the ones for the recordings we can't find! And that they were set aside so that we could find them in case they re-surfaced. God help us if she filed all of those away! *bangs head on desk*
So I went to lunch with Travis, Krysta, and Ben today, after we unlocked the madrigal room so that I could show Ben the big wings and the monk habits (but the monk habits are missing! agh!). We're planning a break-in-the-madrigal-room day fairly soon, to don the wings and capes, and Krysta is going to continue on the Hyllberg tradition of the big blue dress, and the jester hats...score one for the madrigal room...of course they do keep it locked for a reason...
Anyway, we had prospective students in the music department today...hehehehe. Luckily I didn't run around with a cape, or bust out the bongo drums to give my rendition of 'Free Falling' (if you haven't seen it, well...). Professor Dietrich forbade me to talk to prospectives a looooooooooooong time ago, anyway.
So we lingered around at lunch today for well over an hour (it wasn't the food). We had sooooooooo many great stories (mean stories, but great, nevertheless). I don't think I stopped laughing for like, an hour straight. Ben is possibly one of the funniest people I know, and then put him with Travis and Jason...ohhhhhhhh man. I was just dying laughing, I can't remember the last time I laughed that hard. I think the commons got a LOT quieter once we left. That and it was 1:30 anyway...
Today I was having many troubles eating cookies. Jason brought back a whole pile of hot cookies, but when they're that hot, they're also hard to pick up without them breaking. I managed to drop about a 1/3 of mine into Ben's cup. Luckily it was empty...and then I somehow missed my mouth when I was trying to eat it later. Yes, I am just that much of a klutz!
I have a potential job offer for this summer. It's only a 7-week thing, but it'd be a great experience. Hopefully it doesn't start at like, the beginning of July, 'cause that would suck a lot, since I wouldn't have anything to do in the meantime. I'd be a piano accompanist for a musical theatre camp at Carthage College in Kenosha (so a LOT closer than Ohio!)...which would be close enough to go visit Milwaukee periodically, and maybe venture up to the northwoods or something, depending on the weekend schedule. I think it'd be a lot of fun. And it would give me some time to kick back and do nothing before camp starts, and then look for a job. Or something. Woohoo! I have to go see Professor Katz about that tomorrow, so hopefully she'll remember that she agreed to meet with me tomorrow at 2. From everything I have heard, she's not exactly the best at being in her office when she said she is...
That and it'd be getting paid to do something I like...music! Woohoo!
Speaking of music, I totally just remembered that I'm going to re-arrange Vaughan Williams' A Winter's Willow for more advanced oboe and piano. I did an arrangement of that for oboe and piano in like, 8th grade, when I first started oboe, and it's really pretty. But the oboe part is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO boring (well, it is Class C!), and the piano part is much more fun. So if I can figure out a way to switch the oboe and piano parts, I think I'm on to something there...
Yes! Music geeky things to do! (I'm surprised not more people commented on my proclaimed music geekiness!)
I really like having Thursday nights free. Hehehehehe. I think I'm going to go to the resource center tonight anyway, and spite Steph in the process. :)
Oh, and go listen to the Garden State soundtrack...after you see the movie, of course.
