sorry i've been really bad at updating. my last post was about 2 weeks ago, just before i left (if i recall correctly).
so, what have i done?
slept
tried to practice piano (with varying degrees of success)
read harry potter 5 and 6 in anticipation for book 7
read pride and prejudice again (mmm...)
seen pirates 3 and shrek 3 with my brother
gone out a few times with a few friends
and therefore, caught up with all the news
organised most of the melbourne welcome stuff. this has involved booking 80 tickets for healesville (to pay lots of money!!! i am getting really good at spending other people's money!)
borrowed a few piano scores to start more work
listened to two more versions of the beethoven

not much has happened otherwise.
which is kinda good because i've been needing this rest.
but alas, i cannot rest too much, or i will get lazy (which i fear has already happened). there is much to look forward to, such as RSA training (woop de woop), going to the 'rat (woohoo!!!!), flying back to melbourne (ok, i know, these are all out of order! this should have been first...), welcome training, welcome (woohoo!!! hello americans! oh, and the one british guy, the one irish guy, and random kids from germany yay, france, yay, and others..), urinetown camp (urinecamp, for greater conciseness), going back to jude's (woohoo!), and starting semester 2 (argh! so soon!). i was flipping through next semester and looking at all the milestone-y events. it kinda looks like this (barring welcome and its lead-up events, and urinecamp):

Week 1: idea of north gig at end of week. oh, and it's dis-o'week that week...argh!
Week 2: Beethoven!!!!!!! (details coming soon!); going to see JCH play, I've been told it's this week, is that right?
Week 3: more stuff
Week 4: Urinetown!!!
Week 5: Orchestra concert, MUSIC BALL!!!
Week 6: I've forgotten.
other stuff includes 21sts, Switchfoot (will get onto tickets for that soon...), perhaps Phantom (dunno, need job and $$$). like, for real, it will be busy.
add to that concerto competition, more accmopanying, more rehearsals, apollo, more urinetown (but thankfully it's over soon-ish!), oh, and trying to survive with uni! hehe.
good thing my official load is only 3.5 subjects this semester...i knew i'd done that for a reason!
