Today was a fairly ordinary day. I had the usual 8:15am class (it's still way too early!), then tried to print a document at the university. Well, it wasn't going to work for me today. After 20 minutes of waiting for my Gmail to load so I could view a document, I found that it wouldn't open with that version of Adobe Reader! But I ran into N, and we had a lovely chat. :-)
Since September, my roommate Tiny has covered her wall with little sticky notes with interesting quotes. All the little notes will eventually make up a kite...and it loks pretty awesome from my side of the room. But my wall is depressingly bare. She's been telling me I need to change that, but this week, I actually came up with an idea that should put some more colour in our room! I was given a beautiful travel set of watercolours for my birthday by a certain C (thank you!!! ;-), and I haven't had the chance to use them yet. So today I bought a thick sketchpad and ripped out about 12 sheets to paste together into a kind of mural. I will tell you more as it develops...but I'm thinking it'll be a giant circle with pie slices for each month where I can write, paint, and sketch whatever...I...like...;-)
I hadn't given up on printing today, but by 3pm I finally knew how to use the printer in my building! I have to buy paper, but other than that, I don't have to pay anything to print! It's great.
Tonight, I had my second rehearsal with the university orchestra (it's for the Karl-Franzens, medical university, and technical university students). We're playing Cesar Franck's Symphony in d minor, which is a really beautiful piece. Tiny and I actually saw it performed on Oct 10 (see the Oct 10 post!).
Ok, I'm going to bed now. I'm appreciating my Monday nights when I actually get the chance to sleep in till 8am! :-D
