Who would have thought that a guy with such a dorky name would be so amazing. Singers concert Saturday night. Got to hear another Lauridsen piece. Amazing. I will say that his pieces definately sound the same (or at least the ones I've heard...) but when something sounds so good, is that a bad thing? The concert left me speechless as usual. It was in a high school auditorium, brand new, way better than ours, complete with orchestra pit. I wish I had been able to get into the light booth. Awesome auditorium aside, I must say that Singers concerts always leave me in the most interesting of moods... vulnerable is probably the best way to describe it. It's weird... anyways, I'm very excited to see where I'm student teaching next year to see if I can come to their first concert. I hope so - they're doing all Norwegian songs, which really interests me.
So it's the last week of school. I'm currently in my fourth of six finals. Yes, I'm typing in my final. We're just presenting our final compositions. I don't want to share mine. It's bad. Harmonic composing I can somewhat deal with... this counterpoint stuff, not so much. Or maybe it's just that I don't want to. Silly senior slide.
Graduation is on Saturday. My friends will be gone. I'm very thankful that I don't have to deal with that at the moment, but at the same time, it's going to be weird next year, especially with all the pastor track boys gone. I don't think that's really going to sink in until I try and eat next year and find I have about six people to eat with. I'm also starting to get nervous for my friends. They could be going anywhere in a few weeks. I hear there's a call to Alaska. I don't want my friends to go to Alaska. Not that Alaska is a bad place, and it does need the gospel, but I want my friends to be in a place where I can drive to and visit next spring break. But the year has to end eventually, and seeing as how I packed up nearly everything yesterday, I must be pretty ready for it to end... home sounds good.
