well, this is new...

I can now say I've been peed on by a dog. Yes, my puppy peed on me and my bed this morning. Hoorah.

Summer as of now has been mostly uneventful. Went bowling with a couple of friends, went to a baseball game...yeah. But I have managed to keep the promise to myself that I would go out more and hang out with people more than I hang out at my house. Last night was the first night this summer that I spent at home. Definite improvement over last year...

Also...I'm less than proud to say that I've played my cello once since school ended. I dunno. I just haven't really had all that much motivation with no lessons and no performances or auditions to prepare for. Plus, I take my cello in for maintenence on Monday, so I won't have it for at least two weeks, which sucks. But my viola/violin (for all intensive purposes, he's a violist) friend and I are playing a Beethoven duet once I get my cello back, so that's exciting. And I have a concerto to finish learning, and chair audition excerpts to learn...so after June 18...I'll be back on track. I think it is a good thing that I've taken this break, though. Starting August 25th, I'll basically live in a small practice room, so this break was probably a very good thing for my mental health, if not my cello playing.
