saxxy business

I know that pretty much everyone hates the school of their choosing every once in a while but the music school here causes me more trouble than all four years at Pacific and the SLIS here. After problems with the professors I now seem to have lost my sax. I went to my locker today so I could take my horn in for some repairs, and the locker was empty.

I'm really trying not to freak out but MY SAX IS MISSING!!!!!!

I was down there on Wednesday, two days ago and everything was there. I've been wondering if they would let us keep the lockers for the summer but there have been no notices posted and no communication by phone or email so I figured that I was fine.

The best part of this is that I can't ask the music office about this until Monday at 9 am when they open. All because the stupid school decided that they can have half days on Fridays during the summer. I hope, hope, hope, hope that they have all of my things in the office. Otherwise I will be seriously screwed. I haven't insured my sax. To replace everything in my locker would cost about $3,000.

I love that horn, I bought it with the money left to me after my grandpa died. It's my last tie to him and to lose that would be awful.

I tried calling campus security to ask if they knew anything about the lockers but as usual they knew absolutely nothing and didn't even try to be helpful.

I'm 27 can you believe it?

Not a lot has been going on lately. LISL is, well, LISL kind of boring but we are starting to pack up books so it will help the time pass.

Yesterday was my birthday, I can't believe that I'm 27 now. I feel old. But it was a good day. Mom, dad and Nat called early in the day and they with Aunt Colleen and Uncle Ryan gave me the money to get the only thing I wanted, an iPod. So I ordered that from the apple website so I could have my name engraved on it. When I was at work Wog text messaged me, I yuk you too! I also got a crad from Linda, Wog's mom. She's the best!

After work I had an adventure getting to Todai but I eventually found it and had some really yummy sushi and oysters. I came back to my room and had a barage of phone calls. First Aunt Colleen and Grandma called, then Eliz, then Angi, then Wog, then Mom. In the midst of the phone calls Julie cam up and we had cake, cheap champagne with mango nectar and played Scrabble. I actually won.

So all in all it was a good day.

The day before I went to Giant and got myself a blue cake, ummmm cake. Then Cat called me. She said that she had driven past my old apartment building, the Civic, and it was boarded up. I did a little sleuthing and found that the city is tearing it down to put in fancy condos with retail on the ground floor and some low-income apartments there. First SMS then the Civic, bulldozed for progress.

I really need to start cracking in I'm going to finish Angi's shirt before she gets here. It is looking pretty good except the row where I changed from the heavier yarn to the lighter. I'm probably the only person who would notice so I'm not too worried about it. I still need to figure out what to make for myself so I can spend the gift certificate the CUA girls gave me for a birthday present. I guess I just need to take a field trip to Knit Happens and see what inspires me.
