"Nomadic Camping" and other adventures...

So...umm.....I'm back? I'll admit that the last post was very poor, but I am very glad that people were asking me to post again. It means everyone thinks I'm sexy and want my body, especially Kris ;).

Let's see where to begin with my adventures as of late....I suppose I could start with last night. Ebo is freaking hilarious, and I've decided that I'm going downtown to the bars with him all the time. He has now coined the coolest phrase (or should I say frase?) ever...."Nomadic Camping." Yep. He said it to Ed when we were trying to get him and Rachel to join us downtown. I don't know what Ed asked Ebo, but that was the response. What a fun night, even if Kris had to ditch us because she was tired or something. gosh. what a party pooper. :'(

I also just got back form a concert in the Cities today, and was it awesome! It was an all Beethoven concert done by the MN orchestra in Orchestra Hall. I heard a lot of music that I don't think I will hear in quite a while, if ever again. Thankfully this orchestra speciallizes in Beethoven music. Of course, I do need to thank my mother for getting the tickets for a christmas present to alex and I.

So I also have to ask about some current news too. Is anyone else interested to see how deep this "rabbit hole" goes with Abramoff inditment being so big right now? Even if I remove my alterior motives of hopfully seeing the Republican Congress fall, this seems like an interesting way to see just how corrupt the system has become, and to hopefully see some house cleaning at the same time.

I now have another interesting possible proposition to think about for next summer, or at least think about if I can possibly fit it in. Carmen, my loving wife ;), forwarded me an e-mail that she recieved from a woman named Carina. As a quartet we went to the music camp that she was in charge of last summer. Carina won't be in charge of the same music camp this summer, but she is creating her own, and she wants Carmen, Nate, and I to be counselors at this one, which will be in madison this year and not cost us anything since we would be counselors. At least this one won't be 5.5 weeks long (just 3 this year), but I need to find out from companies that may look at me for internships this summer if they will even let me do that, and weigh out my options of companies that will let me go, and one that won't. I know this is going to be hard because I really need to experience in the engineering field to help sell myself when I graduate to employeers, but I also really can not afford to go a whole summer without a chunk of time to just focus on playing if I want to seriously continue working towards the music performance degree and have any hope of using it alongside my engineering degree. Man, if I didn't have enough things to worry about already, what with deciding if I want to finish my music degree at platteville when I get my engineering degree in Spring '07, go to grad school for engineering and finish my music degree at that school, start working once I graduate and take night classes, or if I want to just graduate with a engineering degree and a music minor and go back to school later and finish the degree. Help on this anyone?

Well, that's enough for tonight everyone. I'm going to bed. God bless.

Having reviewed options A through D in your post, I suggest you choose secret option E.

I too would like to see how deep the rabbit hole goes, and I don't care who falls as a result. Corruption of this kind is bad, bad, bad.

I know you'll figure out what degree course is best for you for, unlike me, you come to good decisions in a timely fashion.
