End of fall

A few weeks ago (Thursday, the 4th, to be exact), I went with my friends Mark and Andy to an orchestra concert. Yes, I could have mentioned it earlier, but I forgot. Apparently I am all about going to orchestra concerts and then forgetting them and then writing about them later. Anyway, this performance was very good. It was of Dvořák's New World. I had never heard it, but they did a good job. After an intermission, they played Respighi's Pines of Rome, which was about half as long. I liked the end. It was really loud.

Oh, and exams. Yes. They were pretty intense. I had to write a paper that I really should have started writing months ago. I think I'll still do okay, though. And what else? An exam in my Indian Ocean class, a programming project. It's all over now. I'm done. Actually, I have to tie some loose ends like picking up my project grade for tech writing and returning some books to the library. I also decided to work today and tomorrow to make up for time I missed when I was sick last week.

Anyway, I'll be out of here on Friday, and I'm looking forward to it. My parents told me last week that they were redecorating my room to make it less allergenic for me. Whenever I'm home, I end up feeling sick because the place is just a trap for dust. I don't know what it is, but hopefully a change of carpet will do the trick. They put in drapes too because they know how much I don't like being woken up by the sun in the morning. I can't wait to see what they've done. I bet it looks pretty awesome.
