Here!

Eastman is wonderful, especially since the snow has yet to hit. This morning I took two theory/musicianship exams for placement purposes (for a total of three hours of testing). I didn't know everything, but I felt confident about a majority of the topics! Hopefully I can pass out of 101 and maybe get in to 102. Hope I'm not put in the remedial theory section!

My roommate is very easy to live with so far, the showers have great water pressure, and the food is good! I am still trying to gauge how busy I will be once classes start up. Since I'm in the beginning of orientation week, we only have a few meetings here and there and then lots of time to "get to know each other," or rather, spit out your name, instrument, and where you're from, then move on to the next person (and promptly forget the name of the previous one). Even though this is probably one of the tinier freshman classes (only around 150 people), it still seems hard to learn everybody's names. In time, in time.

Mail is much appreciated! My address is on my Facebook page (published only to my friends!), so feel free to shoot me a postcard, and I'll do my best to reply.

Now I'm off to my next orientation meeting: staying safe in Rochester (which is a little more ghetto than I was expecting!). Then a (mandatory) barn dance tonight. Grumble. I'd rather practice! Oh well.


Love to all!
