All four exams are accounted for and passed. This should allow me to put some interesting courses on my agenda, and I may even take a few extra credits later on (once I'm paying in-state tuition). From the looks of my course outline (which hasn't been approved at all yet) I should finish Master's work in a year and a half, and Doctoral work in the same time frame, or possibly two years.

The massive undertaking that is Marching Virginians band camp is now in full swing at Virginia Tech. Although there are parts that I'll definitely miss, I'm not sure if I'd do another season, given the opportunity. The first year was pretty horrible because of bad leadership in the trumpet section, but the next three were highly entertaining. It got pretty old in my fifth year, but having great roommates in the same section kept things afloat quite nicely.
