Time for Turkey, Trombone and Cohort...

...three things that should never go together. This post will be very trombone/grad school heavy; so stop reading now if you're not interested. (Seriously...stop now). :)

I just mailed in my grad school supplementary materials for Eastman and Indiana, however it says on the University of Iowa site that their applications aren't due until July 15th. For some reason that seems off to me...anyone else?

Anyways, I am gearing up to head home for Thanksgiving. Done with classes, took care of lots of little details in the past 2 hours, and now I'm going home to nap. Because of the thematic unit for Cohort I was up until 5 a.m. working my butt off in the 24 hour computer lab; an experience I never wish to repeat. EVER. Good news is now I have that out of the way. The bad news is I still have a LOT of work to do for FED 490, since I haven't done ANYTHING for that class yet. I also have to catch up on a few other Cohort things...it never seems to end.

Jazz tour is Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of next week; I'm excited; it'll be nice to get away for a bit. Becker will be home the following week; I'm also very excited about that! :)

We had studio class on Monday and Kyle played and sounded great on the Martin Ballade. It convinced me that I have to really keep pushing myself so that someday I hopefully will be able to sound like he did; just really consistent and controlled with his playing. Baby steps; one day at a time. :)

I'm beginning to look ahead at where I'll be next year. Honestly, it is a little scary realizing that I don't know what lies ahead. Usually, I have a generalized plan to follow, and right now everything is up in the air. SCARY.

Enough blogging, time to nap and then head down to see the family. :)

Love,
