Things are looking up

Another week of class is over and now there are only 5 days until my trip to Lyon and great concert! A lot of things really came together these last few days. For one, I found out that I will be playing the vibraphone this winter with Redline Percussion when I'm back. For those who don't know, I've spent the last 6 winters either playing or teaching in indoor drumlines. We rehearse on the weekends and perform in competitions around Michigan and the midwest, it's a great activity. So that made me very happy. It was also a good week at the university. Classes went well, and there were some good surprises as well. For example, my language professor baked us a chocolate cake today because some students were giving speeches on French cuisine, that was nice! She also let us out 15 minutes early today, very interesting. This weekend I will do a good amount of studying, prepare for my Lyon trip, and hopefully have some time to record on the piano.

Also, I might have pictures of this eventually, but last night I did some karaoke with friends at a cafe. It was really fun. Of course I only sang French songs, but there were English ones as well. I look forward to returning to this place when I can. It was interesting to note that a group of French students did some Beatles songs. It's not everyday you get to hear 3 French girls sing Across the Universe. With some of the other songs that people performed, the girls would sing along in English too, quite interesting.
