I'm no longer an undergraduate...time to march onward to summer!

May 15, 2008 at 7:48 AM

I know...it's funny to talk about summer when we are still in mid May...However I just hit another mile stone in life; I finished my undergraduate course work and will be graduating on May 24th.

Believe it or not...I'm more relieved than excited to be done with school. What I AM excited about is what lies ahead for summer. At the momentthese are my plans for summer:

June 4-8 Attend the 2008 Internation Viola Congress at ASU

July 6-12 Attend the OSU String Teacher Workshop taught by Robert Gillespie

July 14-17 Go up to Santa Barbara for a week of viola lessons with the wonderful Hellen Callus

August 1-8 Suzuki Book 4 Teacher Training

After all this I will be completely broke, but I will be happy. Especially after not being able to do anything last summer. My only wish is I could do more musi programs. If I could have things my way I was participate in summer music programs all day, every day, all summer long. I look forward to the inspiration and newfound knowledge I will obtain this summer.

Summer of 2008 will be the best summer yet! I can hardly wait!
