We're coming round the homestretch. Just a week of finals and then home! I still have finals, but I feel as if all the really stressful things are over. The written aural skills final and my group fugue presentation both went well, and I felt as if my jury was a success. I still haven't gotten my jury sheet back, though, so I don't actually know my grade for that. So just a little while longer at we're gone. And then we come back to do it all again.
I can't wait to see you all at home! I've missed you all so terribly. I'm sorry I'm not always the best at communicating, especially via the blog (a tendency I'm striving to remedy!), but I want you to know I love you guys and miss you and pray for you.
I was realizing this afternoon as I sat in my friend's junior percussion recital, that I'm practically done. Ok, not really. But the time goes so fast. At the beginning of freshman year, Mrs. Porter (chair of the music dept.) told us that we only really had 120 weeks of school to learn everything we needed to learn from here. I pray that God enables me to make the most of it, academically, musically, relationally, and most of all, spiritually. When the seniors told me that it goes by fast, I didn't believe them. But now I see what they meant. And I also see how much happens in just a short time. Dad calls college a pressure cooker, because everything is intensified.
I praise God that I am able to go to a school where the president sits and reads the student body children's Christmas books, where the faculty invest heavily in their students personally, spiritually, and academically, and where there exists a rare phenomenon of a music department full of people who love, encourage, and look out for one another. At many schools or conservatories with comparable music programs, it isn't uncommon for one violinist to try to trip another so she'll break her arm and be unable to play, or for one vocalist to play mind games with another to psych him out in a vocal competition.
Well, it's 1:30 in the morning. And I should be in bed. Thanks for listening to my ramblings. Soli Deo Gloria. I'll see you at home.

Hey sweet pea,
CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOU!! I'm so happy to know the worst is past...at least temporarily.
Your president reads you children's books?? How cool is that? I want to come and listen! I will never get over my love of children's books...that was the hardest part of leaving Lowell Elem., not being in "the loop" of new stuff coming out. See you very, very soon! xxoo Ridge
I completely agree! Dr. Brown is amazing and so are children's books!
I will see you so soon!
