Weekend Updates

My xylophone arrived on Friday evening.

This is what it looked like when we got it all set up. My bells can be removed from the case they are seen situated in here. The box was more stable atop the stand than just the bells alone.

I got started right away reading basic music and playing simple melodies with an almost complete disregard for rhythm and meter. Andrew assures me those things will come along later with more practice.

Today was my induction convocation into the National Society of Collegiate Scholars (NSCS) GMU chapter. Andrew took some pictures of me crossing the stage, but they didn't turn out so well. I returned home from the experience with a key chain and another pin. They were charging $10 for t-shirts and I couldn't see paying more after the hefty $70 it cost for my lifetime membership. What can I say? I'm a broke-ass college student.

That would be all of the updates I have for right now.
