25 December 2012

I slept well and woke up early again this morning. So I walked to the gym and worked out a little there. On the way back, I stopped by Moshe and Bob's apartment and fed their cats. I also walked over there 2 more times today to feed them: around noon and around 7:00 in the evening. This was very good exercise for me!

I had only one class of one unit scheduled for me today: 8:00-8:45. But in the morning, the office called me and asked if I could teach another one, which was 2 units: 1:00-2:30. I readily agreed. In the end, it turned out to be a no-show, so I only I to wait in the virtual classroom until 2:00. I never mind getting paid for 2 units and only having to spend one hour (during which I can do other things, of course, as long as I'm right there ready to start in case the student comes in).

This morning I went to the post office to pick up the package (from the Czech Republic) containing the samples for the new pipe organ that I bought (the actual organ is located in Rotterdam, in the Netherlands). It's going to be a lot of fun working with it, although that will come after my orchestra projects, I think.

Today I did a lot of work on my "Folk Song for Strings". It's beginning to really sound nice and realistic now, although I still need to do quite a bit more work. I'm starting to think about more pieces for the orchestra to do. I think I'll put together a whole album of classics: Bach, Mozart, etc. Of course, I'll also include my piece for strings.
