Wait, what is this again? I didn't know I had a blog...

So, here we go again. I'm making the effort to get back on the bandwagon due to intense familial pressure (in other words, I had a couple of comments about it at Christmas). So between Christmas and now not much happened. Amy and I watched 21 James Bond movies in chronological order, and I played a lot of video games, and now we're watching Arrested Development. Now that school is back in session things are starting to pick back up again. I got hired to play with SASO again, and I will be playing xylophone on the Comedian's Suite by Dmitri Kabalevsky. I guess that's about all.

In school news, I'm going to be very busy this semester. I know, it shocked me too. Anyway, I'm excited to be taking drumset lessons in addition to "normal" lessons (everything else), and I'm also doing a very cool independent study. I'm calling it The Use of Technology in Percussion Pedagogy. It's exactly what it sounds like. I'm also in Wind Ensemble again, and Percussion Ensemble and CrossTalk as well. And I can't forget my new theory class, which I have to take because I didn't do so great on my theory diagnostic. It's called Comprehensive Theory and will cover everything I learned in theory in my undergrad in one semester. So we'll see how that one goes. It's already boring... I'm going to try and make blogging a requirement for my independent study, so if that happens, I'll mention it here and anyone who is interested in that can follow that blog as well.

Finally, I'm rereading the Wheel of Time series again so I'll be ready for the last one that comes out this fall. I even bought the rest of them I didn't have (4 out of 11, 3 of which I haven't ever read).



I suppose I can try and keep this updated a little more regularly, that's as close to a promise as I'll get.
