I've finally finished my thesis for my Masters in Music! So now I'm off on a world tour, to make up for all that time cooped up inside my shell. This trip should last 5 months, starting June 14th, ending November 10th. It starts here in Canada, the States, then to Australia, then to South America, and then to Europe to finish off. Will be posting updates every few days.

Hello again,

As I mentionned in my last post, this weekend I had NBYO. It was fantastic! I did a lot of fun things, but of course I'm not going to tell you ALL of it. For anyone who doesn't know what exactly we do at 'NBYO weekends', as they are often put, I will briefly explain.

About once a month, we orchestra members get together for a weekend to practice, play a concert and hang out. The venue is always different. We (almost) never play at the same place twice in one year. For instance, this weekend was in Moncton while the one in November was in Saint John. And to save money, we stay at people's houses instead of hotels or motels. This is organized for us, though (it would be kind of annoying to have to find someone ourselves). So, going on. I stayed with a really nice family, the family of one of the orchestra members. The youngest son turned out to be a LEGO Maniac, and he had the most LEGO I've ever seen. Oh, by the way, we played 4 concerts this weekend ( we usually only do 1), so I'm pretty much tired out of my arms and fingers(if that makes any sense).

So... uh. Wait.
There we go. That's about it. If I get any pictures from the weekend, I'll make sure I post them.
