Gray World

It's hard to believe it's the middle of November already. Most of my classmates have already registered for classes next semester (I do so this Wednesday), and next semester will bring more changes for all of us. During theory discussion class this morning, several people were talking about how they won't have to take theory next semester - only BM students need the four semesters. Our TA apparently knew nothing of this, and kept saying, "What, you too?" every time a BA or BS student nodded. Only about a third of the class will return for the fourth semester of theory (we're wondering if they'll keep all four TAs, with five people per class...)

We'll still be together three times a week for Music History (my exam went quite well, by the way, and I hear we'll be getting them back on Monday), though with a new professor for the second semester.

It's another gray day in a gray world of mostly rain. It's rained every day this week, mostly in the late afternoon and evening, turning campus into a big squissy soggy mass of rotting leaves and puddles from the clogged drains. We've had a few snow flurries but it's been in the mid 30s to low 40s lately. I'm ready for some real snow.

Hi Jessica,
I think I'm another of your long lost Schallock relatives. Is Mike your dad? He played violin and my brother and I were cellists. If so he was my cousin from Wis. as my father was Dr. Donald and Helen Schallock and we lived in N.J.. I have been a forester in NW Montana, Flathead Lake near Glacier Park. eric244@centurytel.net. Have a great life
