I've mostly just been practicing a lot lately. Most days, I get in 4.5 hours. School is going fairly well, but it's only just begun. I've got 5 papers to write this semester, and that makes me nervous. Only one is due before my auditions, though, so hopefully it won't be as difficult as I anticipate. Things are rarely as difficult as I anticipate anyway.

Our microwave has stopped working (out of nowhere), but it's made me realize how little I use it. The only time I need it is to reheat crepes (I do it on the stove instead) or reheat coffee. I've gotten pretty good at making Spanish rice (with garlic, onion, jalapenos, and black beans) and I've been baking tofu like crazy.

I have just over 3 months left here, and I am ready to be finished with it. Here's to hoping it goes by quickly and without too many hiccups.
