It’s almost February…

Time has absolutely flown since I’ve gotten back to BU. I’ve been so caught up in my different activities and classes starting up that it’s been hard to sit down and write a blog worth reading! But this one is worth reading, I assure you.

Let’s start with Chorale. Our normal director, Dr. Jost, is currently in Denmark on sabbatical and is teaching in schools over there. Because he knew about his absence ahead of time, he found a “replacement” director for the semester, Prof. Merle Mustert. And so far it’s working out really well. It’s a great experience for us to work under a different person who wants to work for a different sound and has slightly different opinions on the interpretation of the music and how it should be sung. Sure, it’s a little out of our comfort zone, but it’s a good thing to step outside of that. For many of my peers in chorale, this will be an awesome experience because they won’t work under Dr. Jost forever: they’ll branch out and work under other directors in their student and professional life. 

Classes are going well so far. I’ve got a lot of reading for all of my classes, but that’s expected. I’m taking a physics class, too, and that’s been a bit of a wake-up call as far as remembering my algebra; it’s been a while since I’ve done any of that. I’m taking a course about interviewing, too, and it’s been all plusses so far: only 12 kids in the class, lots of interactive work, and a fair enough amount of reading. It’s been fun so far.

I’m off to eat some breakfast and head to class, I don’t want to be late!

Cheers,

Kevin
