My Cup of Tea...

I love Wednesdays because I only have one class. Today was pretty slow-paced. I woke up really early to get theory work done, went to class, came back, and took about a 3 hour nap. In actuality it was about 2 hours now that I think about it. I went for a long run, got dinner with Caitlin, stopped by the Donkey to get this tea, and now I am home finally updating the blog (putting old pictures in) and I am about to get some homework done.

Tomorrow will be busy -- both Spanish classes and Anthropology. Tomorrow night is Reflections but I am not sure if I am going to go. We'll see.

Red Tea...

Today has been pretty productive though I still feel discouraged.  I just wasn't made to be motivated in this frigid existence.  I rode my bike into town today and that was invigorating and made me feel alive but I still feel bogged down by everything.  Today I worked on a recording for Alex -- he wrote a song for Stacy and her son Ser (sp?) -- and it is almost finished.  I'm going to give this recording to Christine who, in turn, will give it to Stacy in time for her birthday this Saturday.

I had my first tutoring session today and it went well.  My student's focus is in Music Theory -- a pretty fundamental level -- so I tested the waters to see where I was at too.  It all seemed to go pretty well.  Most of her questions were surrounding scale notation and identification and scale degree concerns.  Most of the time spent was a run through key signatures, staff notation, and devices that could help her memorize some of the order of sharps and flats.

Tonight should be a lot of fun -- Caitlin and I are going to vegan cooking (happens every Tuesday night and Friday afternoon) and I don't have a whole lot of homework although I should really try to make a lot of headway on some projects that will be relevant in the near future.

Here goes nothin.
