Almost Time...

the last break of the semester is almost over. ;-( it's so sad, but the work's got to get done some time. i did enjoy the break. i got some work done on my physics research paper. and i found out that it's not the final draft that's due. it's just a rough draft and outline. which of course isn't nearly as much work. now the stuff i have to finish learning for piano and jury at the end of the semester...now that's some work. the rest of my violin stuff (bow, shoulder rest, strings) did come in the mail today. unfortunately i'm not going to be able to get them before my lesson, because it would be very inconvenient for mom to have to drive all the way into town to give them to me and all the way back to get the rest of the kids to go to bsf. or bring them all in early and have nothing to do for a while. errrr... yeah. you get the picture.

*ah* there's nothing like drinking a leftover flat dr pepper from sonic. hits the spot. sorta...

i really must go do some more practice before my lesson. even if i don't have all the fun stuff yet. sorry dr dalmus... i ordered it the instant you told me to. just didn't get here fast enough. :-P
