| | It's been quite a while since I've updated. It just feels like I'm so busy I don't have time to chronicle what's been going on. Schoolwork is keeping me up late, especially last week and this week. I just finished writing a progress report for my engineering design class. Building the prototype is going to eat up a lot of time over the next two weeks. Various problem sets due this week, a graphics portfolio for engineering design, music theory homework, and lots of practicing because unlike last week, I can't put it off anymore.
So, this Friday from 12:15PM to 13:00PM, y'all should turn on your radios to FM 98.7 (WFMT) and listen to me and the rest of Dr. Giles' studio busting out our piano moves live on the radio. I'm playing Rachmaninov's Etude-Tableaux Op. 39 No. 3 in F# minor. I have to practice a lot, though, 'cause I can't just go and screw around live on the radio, can I?
Other cool music news: This Thursday, Philharmonia is performing at Pick-Staiger. We're playing Borodin's "On the Steppes of Central Asia", Prokofiev's 1st Violin Concerto, and Tchaikovsky's Second Symphony. Also, Wednesday, May 31, I'm performing in a movie music concert. We're playing music from Hook, Jurassic Park, Band of Brothers, and Harry Potter and the Sorceror's Stone. I'm playing piano/celeste (so you'll definitely hear me playing that unmistakable HP theme) and it'll be a lot of fun, except I'll also have to practice.
Future Plans: This summer, I'm staying at Northwestern for a good amount of time. I got a job with CTD (Northwestern for Kiddies) as a Tech/AV Assistant helping people set up their computers and stuff. I get room and board, and my hours are in the evening, which allows me to take classes at NU as well. I'm taking Physics 135-2, 135-3, and Basic Drawing (Art 125-0). I'm excited to take my first drawing class -- I've always liked drawing but never got around to taking an actual art class during high school. During the next school year, I got a job as a ResCon (helping people with their computers) as well as a job as a research assistant to Professor Randy Freeman in the ECE department. I'm going to be helping him with his simulations of multi-agent networks (a.k.a. swarm behavior). It sounds really cool and I'm uber-excited about this summer and the coming year.
It really sounds like I'm an ECE/Piano major, doesn't it? I'm actually Mechanical Engineering and Piano, but the stuff I'm picking up all seems to be ECE-related. Oh well. Uhm, the sun just rose, so I'm heading off to bed before those birds get too loud.
