<p>School's been wacky. Cool, but wacky. I have so much in the way of music, it's almost like an overload, but a good one. So much better than last semester.</p>
<p>I got a roommate, I guess. There was a note in my mailbox from the office manager (the one I yelled at for having an incomplete contract) saying that someone was moving over from Westfall named 'Kenney' and that he was to be my new roommate. The only problem is that I have to clean his side of the room, and they won't tell me when he's moving in, just that he has until wednesday. Oh well, I should expect as much.</p>
<p>Both Gabe (women's chorus director) and Kent (men's chorus director) looked at my arrangement of the Star Spangled Banner. Gabe said he really liked it, but that there were a few weak places, and he gave me some good ideas (and one not so good idea) to fix it up. Haven't talked to Kent yet. On wednesday, I forgot when Uni Singers started, and got there a half an hour early, so I helped Dr. Kim set up chairs and turn on the lights (since everything in the choir room shocks him. Everything), and he mentioned that he had talked to Mr. Keller, who had said that apparently Madrigals are performing my piece. I'm going to try and ask Kory about it next time I see him online, because it seems rude for me to call up Keller and ask if he actually is planning on doing that. Whatever, it's cool either way, I just wish I had a chance to revise it first if they are going to perform it.</p>
<p>Been hanging out at Alley Cat a lot. Thursday after class I spent about four hours there, and last night after MSTies, I spent about six hours there. The first night was with Lalery, Andy, Forrest, Miranda, and some other girl who didn't stay long, and last night was with Andy and Shannon. Both nights I got kinda cozy with Andy (and got funny looks from everyone else), which was alright - I thought I'd scared him off the night of the New Years party when I stayed over.</p>
<p>Withdrew cash from the bank to get some shopping done. Got some tasty and not-so-tasty beverages. Some Goya juice (Tamarind - too sweet, funny smell, and Guanabana, which I haven't tried yet), Malta Goya (which appears to be diluted and carbonated beer wort), some ginger beer (extra ginger, baby), some tea in a square bottle which isn't Kirin, some Odwalla superfood, and, from Tony, some Newcastle Brown Ale, 1554, Abbey, Trippel, and Biere de Mars (the last four being from <ahref="http://newbelgium.com">a local microbrewery</a>). Should last me for a good long while.</p>
<p>Racked the two small batches of mead I have going and put them in the fridge to stabilize. I'm hoping they drop clear sometime soon, so that I can bottle them without worrying about sediment. The big batch of mead I have going and the batch of acer (my word for maple wine, since it's not really wine) aren't done with the primary yet.</p>
