Not a whole lot going on right now...practiced a lot again today. Played some pep band tonight, and then hung out with my buddy Kate. She's coming up to Eau Claire next semester and its going to be great. :) I hope the music thing is what she wants to do, shes a really good oboist.

Spent some time with Becker on the phone...I really like this guy, hes amazing. :) Enough said. ;)

Set up a lesson with Megumi today, we're going to meet on the 17th and I'm so excited. I figured she can help me out with Mahler 3...or at least give me some suggestions so that I will suck less when auditions come up. Ordered my JJ Johnson Solos book online yesterday, can't wait until that comes. I really want to become good at jazz. 15 minutes a day says Colin...I'll have to get going on that. Speaking of jazz I received my "very late Christmas present" in the mail from Minnesota today...Wycliffe Gordon cd...and its a good one. (Thank you Becker).

Not a whole lot else going on...hanging out with Rob tomorrow night. Getting some coffee (maybe free...we'll see.) I guess I still don't feel right about it, since that is technically a date. So we'll see how I handle that one. I'll probably just pay for myself either way. That way its a 'no strings attached' sort of date. hehe.

Well, thats about it...time for some sleep and hopefully some good dreams.

Night
