Two Finals down, Two to go

Last night Anita's test went so well. We did the listening portion first. I was the most worried about that so I spent all day listening to the pieces she gave us. I was worried that it wasnt going to go well, I had Chloe quiz me which helped, but not much confidence going in. Apparently no one spent as much time as I did on the listening, and I ended up being the only one to get all the composers, compositions, and movements correctly. Which I was pretty excited about. Besides labeling which composition it is (along with composer, symphony number, and movement number) we also had to analyze the meter, tempo, dynamics, etc of each piece. We turned those papers in and began the written portion of the test. That went pretty well also, and I didnt have too much difficulty. While we were writing she graded our listening portion so we could have that back before we left, I got it on my way out and got a 98% on it, pretty pumped about that one. Anita is a doll and said that if we gave her our home addresses she would mail us the other portion of our test. She also reminded me on my way out to keep in touch, and keep dancing, and let her know if I ever end up performing to a piece by Tchaikovsky.
Dinner was delicious, we all got pasta and then the vegetarians had pasta shells stuffed with spinach.
After dinner I began organizing, but it got depressing so I stopped. Michaela came over to study for Philosophy, which of course didnt happen. We sat and talked and enjoyed each others company, and after an hour she went home. I barely studied for philosophy, I know it all pretty well, and I finished the final paper weeks ago, so last night was relaxing.
I took philosophy this morning, it was a breeze, I had plenty to say and to write about so I felt confident when leaving.
I just finished my paper due for my art class tonight, and took pictures of my fresco to show you all at home. Im currently sitting with Chloe and Kussman in the computer lab, all getting tid-bits of work done while gabbing and laughing and making jokes about the silly volcano that is messing with everyone's plans.
As of now all three of us are fine, but we have plenty of friends who found out this morning that their flights on Saturday are cancelled. Its really a day-by-day process right now, and no one will really know anything till Friday night.
Pray for strong winds so I can go to London with my mamma.
