Senior Spring

As my mom mentioned last week, I just finished my senior project. Up until this past week, my head has been spinning with classes, coordinating rehearsals, editing scores, practicing piano, performance schedules (my own as well as my classmates'), writing papers, working, tutoring, etc. etc.

But now classes are over! Spring is here!



Now, of course, this means that finals week is here. In past semesters, that might have meant something like this:


But this semester, at long last, I'm a senior, and almost all of my courses are finished. So instead, this finals week looks like this:



(The weather this weekend was actually rainy and dreary. The picture is from a trip to South Carolina last year. But it shows about how I felt!)

This weekend consisted of church (I taught a CCD class this year at my parish; the kids received their First Communion yesterday), reading, and cleaning. I did hand laundry, scrubbed the bathroom, and mopped the floors--all things I've been wanting to do and haven't had time for. Today after Mass I decided to do some baking; I went through all the options in my mind--cookies, muffins, cakes--I even thought up a chocolate-raspberry pie that I'm still going to have to make at some point--but finally settled on bread. I haven't made bread in quite a while, but I was pleased with how it turned out.
