Not from 'round here?

This afternoon I was observing a choral rehearsal conducted by my conducting professor. The basses were displaying a certain degree of rhythmic incompetence, prompting the exasperated professor to state, "I don't know how it is where you come from, but in Colorado those white notes get 2 beats." It was said in good humor, and I found it amusing.

School is going well. I seem to be ahead of the curve right now in terms of workload, but I am not letting it fool me into slowing down. There's a long way to go and a lot of term paper research that needs to be spread out over the next several weeks. Beyond that, however, I have nothing noteworthy to report.
