long time no update! so, life's been pretty busy.  trying to get ready for my senior recital on nov 19 - everybody should come! it's at 8pm.  that is assuming i pass my hearing for it. anyways, i've been working MWF 8-5 at doubletree hotel, which i guess is fun. it's money anyway.  i'm on fall break right now and it's been wonderful so far! i definately slept until 1:30pm today, which is quite a bit longer than i wanted to, but oh well. i got back from chattanooga last night; some of my KD sisters and i went up there just to hang out and do touristy stuff. we went to the aquarium and see rock city and ate at big river and i finally used my hotel discount! it was nice to get out of murfreesboro for a while and see something different since i can't "go home" like most of my friends.  steve and i are great - i love him more each and every day! we don't see much of each other because i'm so busy with school and he's so busy with work.  he works at the new schirmerhorn symphony hall.  we usually see each other on the weekends, but some weekends he has to work 16 hour days for concerts and such.  which makes me miss him tremendously.  but he's got a good job within his major which is not something most RIM majors can say right after they graduate so i'm not complaining.  anyways, i just thought i'd toss a little update in here for everyone.  love you all!
