Hi all,
I'm writing this from a library in bonnie Scotland! I'm in Edinburgh, and it's the last leg of our tour. I will post some pictures when I get home, and I've got lots!
Well, until then, cheers!

Off to England
As of yesterday, I am now allowed to do this:
Matt Neufeld, B.F.A.
Pretty neat, huh? Along with my degree, Prov gave me the Vocal Performance Award, and the Chris Derksen Memorial Scholarship. I think that's very hip.
In other news, I leave in seven hours for the UK! This year is a tour year for the College Singers, and we are touring to England and Scotland till May 15th. Pray for safety, fun, and health for all of us. For our itinerary, go here.
I'll see all of you in a month!

And I'm done
Wow - it's been a while since I posted. Sorry - life's been too busy to blog.
Here's what's been up in the last 3 weeks:
Approximately 50 pages of papers due.
A wedding in Saskatchewan.
My grad recital.
Spring Concert (which I wrote the final combined piece for).
Life's been busy.
However, today marked a milestone in my life: I handed in my last assignment ever at Providence College. I handed in 2 BS Methods papers today, and that was it. No fanfare, no weeping or gnashing of teeth - just a feeling of relief. And relief is what I need most.
In other news - United Kingdom in 13 days! That'll be good fun, and a great way to end my time at Prov.
One more thing: The word of the day for me is "fantastic".

Chopin!
So, yesterday I finally graduated...piano, that is. I got my brand new Grade 7 books, and I'm really excited! And, here's the best part:
It has a Chopin prelude, and I can play it!
I was reading through the book, and I came to a Chopin prelude, and I tried it, and I could play almost all of it! I'm super excited.
In other news, U of M audition tomorrow. I feel good about it. I'll keep you all posted on how it goes.

iPod!
As a late birthday present to myself, as well as a present for working a loooong day for the government a few weeks ago, I picked up a 30 gig Video iPod earlier today.
The result: I'm really happy. Now if I could find some videos to put on it instead of just 20 GB of jazz....

For all you sojourn readers out there - I've been re-reading Wild at Heart, as well as doing some deep reading for Philosophical Foundations (with Tim Perry) - so I'll have some good stuff to comment on soon.
Also - my audition for the U of M is on Friday, February 17th at 11 am. Let's pray that all goes well this time!
