Why hello Internet!

Well hello there friends! Yeah, it took a while, but I'm back and ready to start some more writing...so lets begin shall we?

First -- way to go CSU for not having your server ready for the new semester and causing mass confusion for everybody when we all found out that we couldnt access the interwebs (which would be the reason why I havnt made a post in the last few days). But it's ok, the world is back in order and I'm back in my natural habitat.

So what's been happening during my away time? Well, to begin with I guess the big thing would be that Im back in the great city of Columbus Georgia at the amazing Schwob School of Music and I'm pretty stoked to be back. The people are great, the music is even better -- and I'm really excited about a few pieces we got today in the choir. In particular, we are preforming (one of my favorites) The Last Words of David by Thompson, which I sang two years ago with my high school chorus; as well as a Stravinksy piece...which I'm a little hessitent about. It's scored for 4 pianos, soloist, a precussion ensemble and choir, so we'll see how that is. Oh, the piece's name is Les Noce if you're currious and want to find it on youtube.

In other choral news, I was lucky enough to hear the Columbus District High School Choir preform a few nights ago and I'm incredibly impressed; their conductor just happened to be the same guy who conducted the 08 SC all state choir that I participated in, and from personal experience -- he's wonderful. It was a...refreshing, yes, that's a good word: a refreshing experience to watch him conduct the kids. Sometimes we all need to be shown something to get re-energized and remember why exactly we do what we do: he did a great job for me.

Other than that, it's just back to the daily grind I guess; which is not a bad thing, I enjoy the schedule and routinue of things, however it is the grind and it will do just what the name says it will: grind away until there is nothing left.

But it's ok.
I'm fine with that.
