quick update

quick update

Here are some things I'll forget to write if I don't write them down now:

- I added some links: Brian, Ryan, and Ali (my roomie)'s blogs, and Erik's site. Brian likes it when people leave comments. :)
- Here are the updates that the Leader Telegram wrote about some of us who were injured in the accident. As I mentioned in a previous post, the updates accompanied a story about Jessi that was in Sunday's paper. I'm really not very difficult to reach for comment; the reporter was pretty lazy.
- My music history final couldn't have gone better. I figured I'd end up leaving most of it blank since I was gone for so much of the semester and haven't done much reading since the accident. And I couldn't concentrate well enough to study much. However, the final was pretty much all on the material covered since I went back to class. The essay questions were so broad that they were pretty easy to answer. I shouldn't have been so worried anyway - the final was on music in the past 60 years or so. I'm a percussionist, that's my time period.
- Prof. Hellenbrand is letting me take an incomplete in music history so I can finish my paper over break. Say what you will about him, but he's been very helpful through all of this.
- My grade report pisses me off: all W's and IN's (withdrawals and incompletes), with the exception of A's in my percussion classes. Woohoo, I got two credits this semester. What a fucking waste of time and money. I used to pride myself in never having to repeat or otherwise withdraw from a class. At least I have a good reason. I'm usually so committed to school that I have to keep telling myself to not feel like it's my fault that this semester was such a waste.
- Eric came over and had a beer with me last night. Yay! I'm going to make my first venture out to the bars next week. I don't get to drink much at all really, but it will be fun to go out with friends again. It's what I've been looking forward to for a while.
