Is there a goalie in the house?

I have a goal! This probably sounds pretty dumb for those who don't know that I haven't been able to state one goal for my life for the past three months! Anyway, today I talked to a counselor at SVU, where I've been toying with the idea of attending. This counselor encouraged me to apply for a Talent Scholarship on the flute, so today I dusted off my flute for the first time since putting it way in May. I'm really excited to start working on the pieces I have chosen/will choose to showcase my playing. I already have one piece chosen, and I am in search of a second.

I had forgotten how much fun it is to work towards a goal. My hope is to have a polished recording of my pieces sent in by December or January (before I flee the country!). So, for the next four months, I'll be practicing and practicing. If I'm not available to do something, the reason will most likely be that I am practicing. I really want to finance my schooling without my dad's help, and a scholarship would be a wonderful start!

I'll keep you updated on my progress!

Watch out, again!

This is a video of my nephew, Roadrunner, demonstrating how to play in the Ball Room. How many balls can you count?
