1. I am pleased to say that I have almost completed the three busiest weeks of the fall. Tomorrow morning I have a test, then I have a really long chorale rehearsal until 4. Then I am done. In celebration I will be traveling to Chicago to visit Northwestern and hear a couple of concerts.
2. I have recently been introduced to the wonderful idea of pass/fail grading. I don’t know how I missed this concept for 6 years, but I get the feeling that I am going to be glad at the end of the term that I have discovered it. In general, during a semester of high workload in one’s degree area, that person may relieve GPA pressure by taking an elective via pass/fail grading. Es bueno.
3. I have had ten roommates. Of the ten, I have had a vast majority of losers. Historical trends notwithstanding, I must say I am quite pleased with my current living arrangements. Ben is not only a great musician but a fabulous human being. I only hope I don’t convert him to my habit of staying up way late.
4. It occurred to me today that I need to mention debt. I am eternally in debt to Kevin K, as he literally saved my life when I was young. As a small child, I once darted into the road to board a school bus, as an oncoming driver ignored the stop sign. Kevin grabbed me by my shirt and jerked me out of the road, earning me these last 19 years of life. Thank you again.
5. The ‘worst month ever’ is officially over. Everyone can come out of hiding now…
