School's going pretty well. I got my major all changed (from biochemistry to music education, for those who aren't in the know), and I'm all signed up for most of the classes I need to take. The only ones I'm missing are the techniques classes that were all full. Oh well. I shall take them next semester. I took too much this semester, so I'm lightening up a bit (though apparently, my 'Islam from the 1500s' is fairly hard). All that's required of me now is an audition, which I'm working on really hard. I need two songs memorized and decently singable by the first day of next semester. I have the songs all picked out and stuff, but rehearsing is hard when you can't play the accompaniment.

Stuff. Lots of tea parties with Tehshannon and Ryan, and sometimes with Lon. Been hanging out at the office lots, now that I'm getting to know the people there.

Got a scarf, found my khaki-coloured fleece. They go well together.

Got a good, though rather dry book called <em>Homosexuality and Civilization</em> that goes from ancient Greece to the Enlightenment with some sections on asia thrown in there. Also, been reading this book called <em>Grass</em> by Sherri S. Tepper. I picked it out by walking down an isle at the library and grabbing a random book. Pretty good, though :o)

Writing more. Started on my third Keats piece: Unfelt, Unheard, Unseen. After I finish that, I need to revise Lullaby and Stanzas, then the set will be complete. I like them better than anything else I've done, but that's not saying a whole lot. I still like them, though. Also: been thinking about a setting of De Profundis, some art songs (more Keats: Why did I laugh? and I cry thy mercy - pity - love - aye, love; two sonnets), and perhaps a symphonic poem based on Hyperion and/or Endymion (the poems, not the books), as well as that book, <em>Homosexuality and Civilization</em>, or maybe an opera ha ha ha.
