Welcome to the Newman Blog

Hi everyone,
Angie and I had the idea to create a Newman blog that everyone could update throughout the summer so we could keep in touch and still have our weekly check ins. Post whenever you'd like, label the post with your name, and check back regularly for updates!

Here's mine so far...

Finals week is both busier and more relaxed than normal. As I have hours of unscheduled time every day, I'm more relaxed. However, I should be studying and practicing in those hours...not updating the Newman blog. Oh, well. I'll get it done...eventually. Tomorrow I have my hist and lit final and my harmony paper on the Rite of Spring is due. Thursday is my conducting final and my violin jury. I'm actually rather looking forward to my violin jury - all my music is memorized and I think it's going pretty well. Friday my mom is coming to help me pack up my apartment and move home. She's also going to meet Ben for the first time, and I'm a little nervous about that...we're cooking dinner for her on Friday night, though, so hopefully that should help break the ice!

Tonight is our last official Newman event of the year :-( but I'm excited to see everyone although I'll be buried in ice cream and hist and lit studying. I'll try to bring a camera and upload pictures later!

Okay, I'm going to email you about the blog now and then I'm really going to study for my exam. Really.

Peace,
Claire
