QUOTE(Maizie @ May 25 2011, 01:20 PM)  Yesterday I posted off my end of module assessment for my current OU course. This is - theoretically, at least - my last OU assignment/course. Assuming I pass, I will be awarded a degree. I'm already wondering just what I'm going to do with myself on Sunday (and, this week, Monday too!) I seem to forget that there are over 100 books sitting on my 'waiting to be read' shelf which I've been promising to make headway on once the OU is 'finished'. And that I have plenty of music practice to be done that hasn't been being done lately because I've got too much going on. Instead I am viewing OU courses I might do to continue the astro/physics stuff I studied a few years ago (starting October, or January). Or pondering the idea of Grade 6 theory. And so on... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ph34r.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) I remember that feeling from the end of my degree. The project was submitted and suddenly all the things that were so appealing whilst every waking moment had to be spent on physics. The only thing that remained appealing was clari practice but I couldn't do any of that as I lived on campus with a strict no playing instruments in bedrooms and I couldn't afford the fee to gain access to the 2 practice rooms for non music students. Congrats on finishing your ECA. |

My new baby boy* has made my week! He's totally adorable. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif) He was in an adoption centre and had been for weeks, no-one wanted him. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) When he was very, very little he escaped and was found in a rabbit enclosure. One of the rabbits had bitten his face, and he had an abcess. He's had to have lots of medication and treatments, and was 'advertised' as being very timid, very nervous and unable to eat much dried food.
I fell in love with him, and brought him home this afternoon. He attacked a honey stick (dried fruit and seeds covered in honey) with vengeance, had a wee sleep and then got to run around for the first time. He's lovely and cuddly too and comes to you when you hold your hand out. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) *He's a hamster. Considering a different career path... hamster tamer?

Hurrah for adopting nominals!! They can give you great pleasure (not that non-adopted, i.e. bought ones don't!) One of my more recent acquisitions is soooooo timid, I think she has extremely poor eyesight, even by the standards of a pink-eyed rat. And the other day while I was cleaning the cage and some were visiting me to "help", I was talking to her and only belatedly realised she had come to join the fray and be talked to (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Only Joking. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I was just thinking that for you he's lovely and cuddly and comes to you when you hold your hand out ! I dont know if he would attack a honey stick though. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Just heard my first ever piano teacher died last week... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
Not seen her since I left Crieff 11 years ago, and hadn't seen her much before that due to changing teachers, but still a bit of a shock... |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) sympathies, muzikalbadger (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) It can come as a shock. I had a different sort of shock in relation to a previous piano teacher of mine a few years ago. I was reading the local paper and discovered he was residing at Her Majesty's Pleasure for offences against young boys who would have been the same age as his own children at the time. I only went to him as an adult student. |
