I decided to update, though I really don't have the time. College is fun so far, though last night would tell different. I stayed up till 2:45 trying to figure out a problem with my financial accounting, and it wasn't coming out right. I spent almost 3 hours just on that problem, and then I quickly had to do others. I hope the teacher doesn't ask for it today. I have two hours before that class so I'm going to try, once more, to get it right. Hopefully this time I'll get it even though I'm still not awake.
Orchestra is great. Need a few more violinist, but we'll make due. Playing Copland's "Appalachian Spring", Sibilius' "Symphony No. 2" and a waltz by Strauss, in which the Strauss I'm principal 2nd violinist.
My violin teacher is really pushing me, a lot of technique. He said that I'm close to being able to do something spectacular. With that, it really gives incentive to practice.
I'm in a trio with a cello and a pianist, and we're doing a piece by Haydn.

Orchestra concert is Nov. 11 @ 3:00 for those who are interested.

*Edit* I just had Financial Accounting class. We went over the homework that I was having trouble with (and the rest of the class), and I found that I did everything wrong and just made it hard on myself. Rats, I lost a doller and that was the cost of Soda bought to help me stay up.

Wow. YOu put me to shame when it comes to studying. Good job on the violin too. Sounds like you aren't good but have the potential to be. (that's what it SOUNDED like anyway- but I know that's not how he meant it. haha)
I hate losing money.

Thanks for the update.  Sorry to hear about the accounting problem.  Hopefully, the explanation opened up a new way of thinking about the problem, and you "get it" now.  I had that happen in a college course -- I flunked the mid-term (I got a 33), but a friend worked with me in the 2nd half, and on the final I got a 99.  The professor gave me an A for the course, because it was obvious I'd finally mastered the material.  Hope it works out that way for you also (with Fin Acctg.)
