My new tool!

I have recently been accepted back to BYU-Idaho. YEA!!!
I will take as many classes as I can here, but at some point I will have to go down to Logan, UT to go to USU; this is because I have decided to graduate in Music Therapy, and the closest program is at USU. Even though that is just over 3 hours away, I am so happy that there is a program even that close, because there are only about 5 programs in the USA. I'm not totally positive on how things will work, but I do have a tenative plan for now:

I will attend and take classes from BYU-I like I am actually attending USU, and when I can't take anymore classes that I need here, then I will have to travel 2 to 3 times a week to Logan to do the classes I need there. There will be 32 to 33 credits that I will have to take there. However, I think that the internship is about 9-11 credits worth of that. The lady who runs the MT program down there said that she might be able to work something out that will allow me to do my internship here in Rexburg, or at least closer, so that I won't have to be there in Logan or Utah everyday. I really hopes that it all works out smoothly for me. I really feel this is the right thing for me to do, so I think that things will work out one way or another.
For now, I'm signed up for Psych 111, Music Theory 2 (yes, it's a repeat), Conducting, and possibly voice lessons. However, I've also ordered a book to learn to use what will be a big tool for me as a music therapist:


Isn't it beautiful? The name of the finish is "Sunrise". It has a semi-mellow sound, and is made of cedar. I'm so excited. Thomas got it for me today. Caitlin taught me how to play a D major chord, so I've had some fun trying it out, and trying to get a head start on some fingertip calluses. Gotta love it!
