Hi! I hope that someone is still reading. I've not been in any sort of posting mood, of late. Today is a turn-around. I actually went and worked for my dad this morning, instead of succumbing to the pleasures of fanfiction. So, to update upon the state of life here: I have an actual official position at the Signature Symphony as a substitute, and now that I'm out of school I can say yes to the gigs that much more often. The lead-up to the audition was rather nerve-wracking, but it came out okay.

My band, SeraFem, has had another gig since Riverwalk. This is the shortest time we've had between gigs yet, and I like it. We're aiming for one every two weeks in the future. RIght now we're in that lovely stage of having almost enough music for a full 3 hours, and learning new stuff to get there. I actually like learning new stuff. My improvisational skills and such have improved so much since we started last year, which makes learning/making up new stuff more joyful and less uncomfortable.

My knitting has actually progressed (gasp!). I finished the main part of the baby dress-thing, and just needs finishing touches (borders, buttons, a little bit of decoration). My next project...might be two things. I really want to make myself a blouse (the straps of the baby-thing made me want more), and I've promised my younger brother that he'll have a sampler blanket sometime in the next year. We picked out the yarn at Walmart rather impulsively, but I think I'll enjoy making another large thing in small bites.

As you all may know, I teach violin. Business has boomed this summer. I now have twelve, no, wait, fifteen (!) students. They range from five years old to sixty-five. The most interesting experience I've had teaching lately was when my sixty-five year-old twins who have a lesson together invited another new student (she's twenty-something) of mine to play since I had accidentally double-booked them. The high you get from a triple lesson is really something.

I need to go and get theory books for a few of my students now. Until next time,
Greeny
