Probably the most interesting summer I've had so far. It definitely was not an easy time, with have to move, travel a ton (not only across the country, but also between our parents' houses beforehand), getting adjusted to having a baby, and getting ourselves established in Shorewood, WI. We still haven't sorted every little thing out, but we're pretty much settled in our place with no more unpacking needed. Now, I'm looking for a part-time job. I am already making a few bucks extra helping out with a youth wind ensemble program here at UWM, and I have 1 student I'm teaching lessons to. But, more is better. Holly's been looking into baby sitting, since she's experienced with that and definitely responsible. So wish us luck as we search for jobs. Never a fun process, but always quite rewarding. I'm counting on it to be much easier to find a job here in the city instead of in eastern Washington...mainly because I'm not required to speak Spanish.
One thing's for sure, I love living in the city. It's actually been something I've always wanted to do, based on the fact that I've always been fascinated by big cities every time I've visited one. I enjoyed the kind of neighborhood I grew up with, and that sort of area would probably be the ideal place to buy a house in and settle down, but for now, the city works well.
School starts on Tuesday, and I'm excited for things to get going, although next week for me won't be very busy, since ensembles don't start until the following week.
Holly and I have started watching this show on Netflix called Heroes, which ran for 4 seasons from 2006 to 2010. It's like a sci-fi drama, but the sci-fi element is much more mild that normal, which means Holly can tolerate it a little easier. It's about ordinary people who find out they have some sort of superhuman powers, and how these random people somehow meet each other and work together to save the world from certain disasters. One guy finds out that he can hear the thoughts of people. A high school cheerleader finds out that she can regenerate any injuries she gets, including reviving herself from death. A Japanese dude can actually stop time, giving him the ability to teleport. Another girl has super strength. It's a really awesome show that Holly and I are drawn into. You should really check it out.
We're going to have some of my new friends from UWM over today. They're all fellow grad students in music. Should be a fun time!
Take care and value music.
