Slow but steady wins the race

I don't really have much to write, but I'm just checking in to say that things are, actually, fine.

I went to Leipzig this weekend to see my friends Anne and Raul that I met in Frankfurt. We didn't do a whole lot - I went to see them, not the city, so we just took it easy. We did walk around the city before I headed back on Sunday, and I got to visit the Thomaskirche and see Bach's grave. That experience was pretty amazing - it wasn't just anybody, it was Bach. The guy who pretty much invented music theory, the guy I studied and researched intensively last year, the guy who wrote so much music we perform and listen to daily. And this weekend I just hopped on a train to the next city over, and visited Bach's grave. Pretty cool.

This week so far has actually been a pretty average school week. I may retract this statement later in the week, but I think I have my class schedule mostly figured out. I have a music pedagogy and a music history class at the university, plus a German-as-foreign-language course. I have another music ed course at the Musikhochschule, and maybe more there - we'll see.

Yesterday I went to my first class at the Musikhochschule - and as it so happens, the director of the school teaches this class. He was really cool and pretty much told me I can do what I want and take what I want. There are only twelve people in this class, so there's no hiding in the back corner and no way the other students can't notice me - but so far they all seem really nice and welcoming. Unfortunately I had to talk to the professor after class instead of talking to them, but the class feels promising.

Other than that, not much is really happening - I'm just letting things go and am glad that they are starting to slowly fall into place.
