Summer Time

I've been feeling pretty content lately. A few weeks ago I was able to register for the classes I need to take this fall. The only annoyance so far in the schedule is that I have class until around 10pm on Mondays which means I'll have to take a break from the community band. I'm also still waiting on my student teaching assignment, so who knows where and when that will be, but hopefully I'll find out well enough in advance.

Because of this Monday issue, I've been practicing a little bit each day to get ready to audition for one of the bands at this college. The only one that fits my schedule for the fall is the top band which means I'd have to beat out music majors. I'm trying to contact the department chair to make sure it is all right for me to audition anyway. I'd love to be able to play with a college level band for a bit again.

In the world of writing, I've been working on a couple projects, the main one being Zix. I still haven't decided on a title, but it's getting more interesting. It's certainly different from what I've done so far and I hope it's a good story when I'm finished with it. I've also been toying with ideas of how to rewrite a few sections of Piper's Debt before sending it out again, and I have a load of ideas for other works which I'll eventually be choosing between for NaNo.

That's all that's really interesting with me right now. Got a lovely leather bag in Mexico for when I begin school again. Maybe its prettiness will help keep me from being annoyed when people ask me certain questions. Foolish Frost and his road less traveled by. The poem doesn't mention the people standing where the paths cross asking you why the heck you decided to go that way. Ah well.
