As many of you lurvly people may or may not know, I had my Conducting final on Monday. Now, I worked my ass off for this test. I was singing the songs everywhere I went, my fingers are permanently curled in the baton-holding grip, and my music score for Homage: Three Tapestries looks like a freakin' coloring book (we mark important stuff in our music in colored pencil to make it easier to read while we're conducting, because you have to glance down, take in all these details, and then maintain eye contact with the band/choir/whatever kind of ensemble you are directing).

I went in. Messed up the beat patterns a couple of times, and on the third movement, when it goes really fast, it almost felt like I was having a seizure. But I made it through. Got the email from Jerry the Prof today...

I GOT A 96% ON MY CONDUCTING FINAL AND ENDED THE CLASS WITH A 94.3!! I GOT MY 'A' IN CONDUCTING!!

*ahem* Pretty stoked about, in case you couldn't tell. Also, I get to go home tomorrow. Six days 'til the wisdom teeth are gone (that's a blessing because the pressure's starting to build up in my mouth again, and it's giving me headaches), and eight days 'til I get to see the Ryann!!

Now I just gots to pass piano proficiency. Bet I choke--when it comes to piano, I always choke...

Much love,
