I was going to blog

Then I was going to just delete junk comments, but didn't have any.

So, now I'm going to blog, even though I shouldn't. C'est la vie.

News:

1. We have a new apt for us in June! Yay! No more paying ridiculous sums of rent each month! It's a one-bedroom, which will also be nice, because the "back room" is severely unloved at the moment.

2. I finished the poncho, most officially. I'm wearing it right now. The weather has made a turn for the worse. I suppose that that could be 3. bad weather. Pictures to come.

4. I finished and survived my recital. Turn out wasn't huge for it, but in the words of Beth "I think that it only takes 10 guests to make a recital official." Good enough. I stayed remarkably calm and my pianist made a mistake. I laughed and laughed afterwards with Katie about how pissed my grandma might be when she hears what my professional, staff accompanist did to my recital. :)

Also good:
"Kristen, you deserve a break today- and Tuesday- so enjoy the morning without seeing me!
Dr.T
P.S. It was truly a pleasure to hear you play on Saturday- the Bach was probably the best i have heard you do, and the Kabalevsky was also very very good! It is rare when the best you play coincides with your recital hour! So it was really great!"

Dr. T is my professor. He gave me flowers afterwards, which, all in attendance agreed, was touching.

I haven't listened to the recording yet, but once I muster the courage, and if it's good enough, I might take requests for official listenings / copies.

5. Now, we (me and the Mendon) only need to survive until the end of the semester - 2 more weeks ick ick ick. And, in those 2 weeks, I'm required to go to my class with the questionable GA. I'm not allowed to drop it. Ick ick ick. Have to write final exam. Ick ick ick.

Anyways, that's it. More to come when it's not past my bed time and when I'm not still pretending to write my experiment discussion section. (it's OK that I'm pretending. mendon's pretending to write a paper, too, and he's playing Tron... ).
