Updates in general.

So yesterday I got a little adventurous in the instrument repair end of class. I have my beginner flute here at school and this thing was dirtier than all heck. So I took it apart and gave the body a chemical bath and wiped down all of the keys and screws and posts with a cloth.
And it was awesome!!
I want to do it again.
The only mishap was when I was putting the screws back in...I hit one of the very very tiny ones at the wrong angle with the screwdriver and it flew across the room and I couldn't find it for 10 minutes. That really freaked me out. But then I found it and all was well. =D
When I started unscrewing it, I wasn't sure if I'd be able to clean it since only two of seven screws would even budge (only one would come out). But it just so happened that Dominique was around and she randomly wandered into the instrument repair room (how she knew I was in there I'm not sure) and told me that nail polish remover helps unstick screws sometimes. And it worked! =D I was excited.
Not a whole lot else has been going on.
I'm through Voyage of the Dawn Treader in the Chronicles of Narnia (I'm reading them in published and not numbered order, so that's book three for me) and that was my favorite so far. There's still four left. But it was amazing.
Also...recent news...Obama is kicking some Clinton behind. Some of Clinton's main supporters have advised her to admit defeat and quit, but she won't listen. It's pretty much next to impossible for her to win number wise. HUZZAH!!!!
The mensa is strange once again. On the salad bar, they've gotten rid of applesauce (which makes me really sad) and added a section of freshly cut oranges and sometimes grapefruits (whole oranges aren't in the middle with the apples anymore). Also, the thingy where one can set their backpack/coat while eating on the far wall, near the really tall tables/chairs, has disappeared. I think it's right when you enter the mensa now instead of being in that hallway. But it looks really strange. And the baked spaghetti was definitely labeled "vegetarian spaghetti ala putanesca" last night. =P The mowing brigade has taken a break for the past couple of days. And band is band...nothing exciting with that for the moment.
I've had some spectacularly strange dreams as of late. Last night's involved being on tour, except Wellman and Nedzel were Wartburg's directors instead of Doc, and for one of my home stays my host mom was my manager from maintenance, but she didn't recognize me. A couple of nights ago it was about my brother being put in juvy by my parents because he had some rather poor grades. In this dream I was really upset and called Sarah, but I don't remember what she had to say. I was also denied use of my mom's car even though she was hosting a Tupperware party for four old ladies at home and didn't need it.
There is suitey drama afoot. *rolls eyes* Nothing major, nor does it really include me, but it's there. Only two more weeks...
Time has been going by rather fast. It's kind of scary. I'm going to be a third year this fall...and next year...I'll be a senior. And then I'll be teaching.
I'm only a week and a half away from being halfway done with college, but it feels like I was JUST starting out my first year...
Strange.
That's about I'll I've got. Nothing too exciting today. Just...chilling.
Prince Caspian is in theatres this Friday! wOOt!! =D
