Bent out of shape, schooled out, but ridiculously happy nonetheless!

Hello one and all!

I got my scores back from that competition. I did very well! Out of a maximum score of 150 (I think), I got 145, 143, amd 145. They all had really positive comments, too. One judge wrote "Great future ahead" and another one wrote "Very mature sound; keep playing PLEASE!" :-)
So, that made my day. I have to find a new accompanist for the concert this coming Sunday, so I can play at their concert. Then, they fork a form over to me, telling me I've won $500, $750, etc.
I wonder which place I got...

I've also been asked to play backround music for the Ave Maria University graduation party. I haven't been officially "engaged" yet, but it
s looking as if it's a go; I emailed them and told them I'd be able to do the gig, but they haven't gotten back to me yet.

Mom's been taking me to a chiropractor to iron my violin-warped body too. Dr. Suzanne's been working my back and shoulders (and gave me a lot of pec. work) but one of her main concerns is my face and head. Two years ago, I was sledding, and to cut a long story short, some idiot didn't watch where he was going and ended up planting his huge winter boot square on my nose. Lots of blood, etc. Anyways, it apparently screwed up my skull and face bones (my nose is a wreck), and therefore the muscles that attach to my head are skewed. So the chiropractor's working my head to get everything else in place. My left arm nerves are also a little messed up from all that. Fun fun fun.

In the way of school, I am going to finish my Latin courses this week (PRAISE GOD!) and hopefully Theology as well. After that, just a few more essays, History finals, and Biology lab work. The lab work's not bad. I pretty much just have to spend 18 hours doing activities from my lab book. I have four more dissecting specimens I'll do, and probably some genetics work. I spent two hours working on a "Dioxeribonucliec Acid Nucleotide Base-Pairing Model" the other day. It's...um...yeah.

I guess that'a about it. Have a lovely weekend everyone!

P.S. At the doctors, I read an Oprah magazine just for you, Sydney.
