Here comes the sun!

The sun is out and it feels sooooo good. It's 12.53pm on Sunday and I'm having lunch at the Atlanta Bread Company on Germantown and Poplar. I've decided that this will be my new hangout ... the food is good ... the coffee is as good as Starbucks ... and best of all, the wi-fi is FREE!! woohoo!

So I just had a Chopstix chicken salad which is an Asian-American style salad. Romaine lettuce, chopped almonds, grilled chicken (or so they claim; it look more like broiled to me), dried chow mein noodles, mandarin oranges, and a sweet-sour dressing (haven't found out exactly what it is yet). And of course, my all time favorite vanilla latte.

There's jazz music playing in the air, people are starting to fill up the place, and it's such a lovely day. I'll be playing tennis in a while with Edgar before church again tonight. And the week is supposed to be in the 80s ... which means more sun and soccer!

Wedding bells

Ricardo was like ... "Hey dude, I'm so glad I got to meet you today. Got a favor to ask. Will you be my ... I mean, I'd be honored if you will be one of my groomsmen for the wedding."

Me: "Of course, dude! I'd be honored to!"

So we're going to get me fitted for a tux sometime next week.

And I'm helping Jessica plan the reception ... woohoo!

... and things worked out.

Was on my way to Starbucks on Sycamore View when Doc called.

I was in his office 15 minutes later.

He explained that there was not enough funding in the scholarship fund to support an out-of-state student, and that was the reason why I did not get the scholarship. He assured me it was nothing personal, although my audition wasn't the best ever... but I would still be able to do piano and ensemble in the fall which I'm very glad about.

In my heart, I knew things would work out although over the past two days I've been in a state of curiosity/anxiety as to what happened and what would. But Doc has always come through as he did again this time. Of course, God always has a part to play in working things out and I'm thankful he watches over me.

Done ... finally....

Today was the final concert of the semester ... finally! Making music has been fun, but has been really tiring this semester. I didn't get the piano scholarship this time, and I'm not sure whether I'll be able to take piano classes with Doc in the fall, but whatever happens ... I'm sure things will work out. Anyways, it was an awesome concert today and I'm glad it's done!

Super la-la

Saturday night + Starbucks + Rachel's apartment + Beverly's camera = Crazi-ness!

I should be studying ...

The fact that I have a Finance exam in the morning doesn't seem to be bothering me. I've been back for about 2.5 hours now, and I haven't started studying. Instead, I'm blogging and Facebook-ing and reading the news and looking at the stocks and practicing on the piano ... everything but studying. I guess I'll be up all night then. Oh yeah, got the laundry to do in a bit. Sweet.
