It’s been far too long since I’ve updated this, so it’s definitely time to appraise you all of my experiences. I guess I’ve only been at classes for a week now, but it seems like I’ve been here so much longer. There are still a lot of things I have to learn of course, but I can definitely get around and deal with most things that come up.

Classes have been intense, and since it’s only the first week I imagine things will get even more hectic around here. My math and physics seminar have been consistent work, but they’ve been very doable. French on the other hand has been pretty brutal. I just don’t feel comfortable with my vocabulary at this point, so I’ve had to study on my own a lot outside of class. The prof. in that class is really good, but it’s definitely on a different level than French at Millard West.

Orchestra has been okay so far. The group sounds pretty good, but it’s not as close knit as OAYO or even the MW orchestra. That said, I’d forgotten how much I enjoy playing orchestral music, so I’ve been enjoying. For those who care, we’re playing Beethoven’s Symphony No. 2, Bernstein’s Overature to Candide, and Lizst’s Les Preludes (which we played in OAYO a couple of years ago). Good literature, all.

Sorry I haven’t been a very profound blogger lately. Everyone else has been posting on deep topics, and here I am merely regurgitating my schedule. Maybe I’ll think of something significant to say at somepoint, but until then, my regards.
