Remind me that I need to go on more bike rides. This morning I woke up fairly early and rode my bike around Tempe Town Lake, which was just beautiful for the whole ride. It will be nicer, too, when the road isn't blocked off and I get to ride straight to the bike path from Mill. The weather was amazing-- warm, clear skies, fresh. And I just really got a lot of satisfaction from the whole experience- being outdoors, getting exercise, and enjoying the morning by myself. If I wake up early enough, I could probably squeeze one of these rides in on a weekday morning. It only takes up about 2 hours, including shower time.
I ordered that book Brian was telling me about.... The Artist's Way. It seems like it's got some cool ideas in it. And from what I read, it's one of those things you can sort of dip your feet into if you want to, which is good. I look forward to reading it.
Last night, I went to the Concert Jazz Band concert, which I really enjoyed. I'm no expert on jazz, but I'm pretty sure they did a damn good job. I loved it. As a saxophone player, it made me really wish I knew how to play like that... I know it takes a lot of work, practice, and experience, but hopefully I'll get to be involved in jazz band next semester, if they have room for me.
Also, I've been toying around with some ideas about this summer and next year. Like, whether I should do the honors college, and where I should live, and should I get a job. All of this, of course, is strongly influenced by what my parents want, considering they are paying. I have a sinking feeling that I'm going to end up living at home this summer, which is really stupid. If that does happen, I at least want to get a job. I guess we'll see...
Well it's about that time.. Suit up for an afternoon in the practice room!
