Rite of Spring

I've officially been in Oberlin for one week and still have three days left. Mom and Les are coming on Saturday to visit. It's nice being able to spend so much time with Zach, even if he's still in class this week.

Mom's thinking about getting a smartphone. I wanted a blackberry but decided that I'll wait until Apple renews/edits their contract with AT&T and might start selling the iPhone to other providers. Maybe I can get the new iPhone this summer after I start working and make some money.

Sunday evening, the brass faculty from Baylor visited and performed a quintet recital. Brent Phillips is the trombone instructor there, I've heard fabulous things about him. He played very well, I was quite impressed. Also, Joe Alessi is coming to Dallas in April to perform for a church. Get it!

The Cleveland Opera is holding auditions for a principal trombonist in late May. I'm considering submitting my resume and hoping they'll even let me audition.

I've been watching a lot of South Park recently in hopes to fulfill Day Zero goal number 36 . So far, I've seen 112/195 episodes. Yay!

I fly back to Dallas on Sunday. It's going to be a long rest of the semester with such an early Spring break.
