Just a few notes. June 4th concert has been moved to the 26th of this month. Rehearsals on both Saturday and Sunday for the next two weekends, plus extra rehearsals somewhere I'm sure.
I've started exercising, practicing violin, and studying again in preparation towards going back to school. I've made some freshman friends on Facebook already...but I'm really looking forward to going back to school!!!!
I have my new laptop and my sunglasses, so now I NEED (not want) the following things before I leave:
1.) Decent conductor's baton by Mollard - $80 2.) 2 sets Obligato strings (minus the E) with 4 Infeld Red gold E strings - $210
Things I'll need eventually but I just want now:
1.) Tuxedo with tails and shirt and vest - $500 2.) Proper case for above mentioned baton - $120
Things I WANT:
1.) Concert Violin - ~$7,000-8,000 2.) Case for above mentioned violin - ~$300 3.) Concert bow - ~$1,500
Thing that money can't buy:
1.) A high MCAT score 2.) An acceptance letter from the Johns Hopkins University medical school program (with scholarship) 3.) Someone to strike Toto/4D/some sort of jackpot to get all the material things! 4.) Happiness and great growth of all SGI members, especially sensei and Mrs Ikeda, as well as my SNCO members
