Here we are

Here we are, down to dead week and the end of another semester. To those who it's their first year complete: congratulations on beating the majority of the world, you are part of the top 25% educated people in the world. To those who have a couple years or more under your belt- you are now that much closer to a better life. My thoughts on this year: was tough, was different, was rewarding.

Highlights for me:
-Sang in choir for the first time, was great.
-Was given seniority within my ensembles as a saxophonist
-Hired by a "professional" band to play the bari
-Told Jazz will go to China next year, kaching!
-Second year with the most wonderful gf ever!
-Learning to deal with some people who can act as social poison to those you care about
-Learned to live with TWO girls
-Had a Recital!
-Went to my first Opera
-Learned about Opera and Vocal rep in some very detailed manners.
-Made some great friends, who I hope to see over the summer
-Sang with an orchestra, big deal!
-Bought a bunch of tweed/sports jackets, ya!
-Got a cat, don't mind it too much
-Worked 30hours a week ontop of 5 ensembles and full time student status; I now know I can do anything.

That is basically it for this year. Though to be fair, there are probably a lot of other things I havn't mentioned.

The new threat emerges

Pocatello's dirtier face has emerged once more. While the Pocatello Wind has Elliptical Man bound in his diabolical clutches, the Tubby Tabby has found her own arch rival to battle, or make that a collective of rivals, the Dumpster Cats. A roving gang of violent mannered felines, they were raised on the streets learning to steal what they can. They created a base of operations in a local dumpster located on one of the highest hills in the city, where they watch and plot from afar. They are only four cats strong, but have caused ceaseless problems within the town.

Beware of these walking flea bags of bain, they are the Dumpster Cats!

Jed and Barrett

Time changes everything. None knows this better than Elliptical man, who has for years witnessed astounding changes to the town he resides in. The Pocatello Wind is also shifting, changing, much like time. This time around though, time brought to our do-goody hero new neighbors, the odd couple as it were.

Tiny, miniscule, shaky, Jed was all you could ever expect from a pocket sized chihuahua. Barrett was a large man, with large glasses, but a simple minded gentle man none-the-less. An inspirational duo for our hero to always remember that time may take a toll on us, but as long as we bring our friends and family with us, we may never be alone!
