Deuce #17 - time to buckle down and FINISH this sucker!

Finally sunny again - enough bloody rain. Thankfully in time for the rec tennis tourney this weekend. Came in 2nd, losing to Kevin Tam twice (grrr) but he won it last year so I guess I shouldn't be too disappointed. I was more pissed that I played badly, especially serving, which is usually my forte. Hopefully things go better in rec vball, with the Pharmacy men's team. Played today as well with a cool guy, David, came back and had some dinner and exchanged classic super nintendo nostalgia. I wonder if I'll ever actually meet somebody in passing like that? Hasn't happened so far. Credit to my exemplary social skills LOL. No, it'd just be nice to have things happen in some sort of idyllic, natural, chronological way....and I'll get off that tangent before I make even less sense.

Had the first test of actual academia this week, with the first of 12 Psych 'mini' midterms, which are really midterms in and of themselves, as much as Dr. MacGregor glossed over the 'general concepts' bit you really did need to know the chapters and his notes inside and out. Also have the first Pharm lab tomorrow, quiz at the end of each one but no pressure. *Fluorometric Determination of Riboflavin* Oh frabjous day!

I'm having a blast with this Noteworthy Composer program - Neil sent it to me ages ago but I never bothered to learn how to use it until the last couple of days. Very easy and has some great features, particularly the playback so I can actually tell if what I've written is what I'm hearing - my strength is on my musical ear and memory, so I'm glad I can take advantage of that and learn proper notation in the meantime. This is only the trial version though so I've got to order the full deal, costs about $50. Also found the Anuna store to download music for Michael McGlynn's compositions; I really hope I can get a solid group of people out of Greystones to take on this material because it's such inspired music and we have the talent to succeed with it. Right now I'm just excited to discover new avenues of procuring and creating music.

Steve, thanks for the link listing :D Send me your phone # or give me a shout eh? I know how busy you are, but I enjoy talking to ya!

On an unrelated note, I figure I'll write more often on this thing if I don't feel quite so obligated to say something profound everytime, so I'll call it a night for now. Ugh - all you fellow students know that dreadful Sunday night feeling of another impending week. Good luck with that *rolls eyes*
