Well, I've been back from my wonderful Oregon trip since Tuesday night, and now today I'm headed off to my annual piano camp, which is near Chicago...I'll be there for the week and will probably get back sometime Friday night. I really look forward to this all year and it's hard to believe I'll be there tomorrow! I've been attending for the past 7-8 years (ever since the camp was established) and it's always a huge highlight of my summer....and I know that my year would feel incomplete without it! There are so many wonderful teachers and friends I look forward to seeing and catching up with, and I feel lucky to have them as connections. It's always just such a positive, inspirational learning experience and I always come away with new perspectives. I'll also be performing a sax solo on the faculty recital for the first time down there, which is a great performing opportunity for me as a sax performance major. I'm hoping it won't be too high-pressure...I'm assuming it won't be, because the atmosphere at these recitals has always been pretty laid back, and there aren't any critics among the audience...just teachers and friends whom I trust and know very well...people who appreciate the sharing of music. So I'm hoping for the best and to be able to just have fun!

Anyhow...I'll be able to log on to a computer probably once or twice a day to check things...but other than that...I'll be pretty busy all week! I'll probably update again when I get back, and before I head off to Montana. :-)
