Today we got Shim-wha! (a percussion ensemble piece). I get to play synthesizer. Yay!
Then, after percussion ensemble, I was reminded that I need to be careful when talking about people, even if I'm not interested in a relationship with them. I tried to be friendly without giving the impression that I was interested, but when you say that someones' making their feelings about you apparent makes you uncomfortable, I guess it can be taken the wrong way. When someone you aren't interested in, but still like as a person, shows that they are interested in you, how do you let them know the feeling isn't reciprocated without hurting them? Not the way I did, apparently.
Such is life; Experience steps in uninvited to teach us lessons we refused to learn from Wisdom.
On a lighter note, I've finally started to do my calculus homework. And it's making sense, which is a relief. There's just a lot to remember. I wish we were allowed the formulas from algebra on a notecard for the exam. I'm all right with memorizing the calculus nonsense, but the instructor should really not expect us to remember obscure [to us, if not him] formulas from several courses back, especially when to use them in real life, we would probably look them up rather than remember them. Oh, well.
Cory's senior recital was incredi-mazing. Several of the faculty said it was one of the very best student recitals they had ever seen here at WSU. It was definitely the best (and only) student recital I've ever seen here. All kidding aside, it was highly impressive. I remarked to Cory afterwards that in the Middle Ages they used to burn people like him at the stake out of a belief that for a person to play like that, they would have to have been posessed or a witch or something like that. That was the first timani solo I've ever enjoyed watching/hearing. There needs to be a better word for awesome.

An epic wait in San Franciso.
Time for less talk, more math.
Link for me of the day: scholarship info
Peace
