What's new
1. Signed up for a beginner piano class. Starts next week. Am not sure if I am too advanced for it, but I could hardly play bass clef so...if not I can always move up to the next one up. Will be interesting, and I really need to work my musicianship and sight singing.
2. Experiments suck. A result that I had been hoping for didn't happen. So I won't be done as soon as I would have liked. But what to do, one thing you learn in grad school, data is data and there can be nothing done about that.
3. Still addicted to the Tivo. And I love the Olympics, though that winter games aren't remotely as fun as the summer ones.
4. Reading "what Einstein told his cook." The inner geek in me enjoys reading about the scientific basis of everything and anything, so when two of my favorite topics are put in one book...ha ha. But I thought the book is a bit goofy for me, ie not scientific enough. But I did learn many interesting things.
5. Going to a fondue restaurant for dinner tonight. never had fondue before so would be an interesting experience.
6. And before that, another trip to the optometrist. Perhaps they can FINALLY get my contact lens fitting right.
7. Working on putting together a recital in the fall. Kathleen suggested many songs, and there will be plenty of time to learn them and work on my technique.
8. Really need to get my arse in gear and start organizing the publicity for the chorale. And yes, also the application for that teaching position.
9. Whoo hoo and monday is president's day. Will take the day off and chill.

Hello! Finally have some time to catch up with you all through blog reading (was in the middle of messing up my wedding prep). Am very impressed at the 101 things you are currently doing right now - singing, music, lab/ studies, ... and the thing is, everything sounds under control. Hats off to you!
BTW, I saw your pic with Cindy and Ting in friendster. Were you in Singapore recently?
