Dec. 9, 2012—Today's topic? This catch-up chronicle will capture the great gaggle of group projects I poured over in this stellar semester.

Last Day of Classes and Shrek the Halls
Dec. 6, 2012—Today, classes ended for the fall semester. Tomorrow is reading day and exams begin on Friday. My finals schedule for this semester isn't too bad.

Music Making
Nov. 22, 2012—This post coming to you fresh from the Yeh kitchen, as Mr. Turkey makes friends with his neighbors Butternut Squash, Carrot, and Potatoes in the Oven. Today I was practicing again. Such is the life. Anyways, I had the strangest feeling: the realization of the complete disconnect among the fingers of my left hand, which tapped the wire strings against the neck of my cello, and my right arm swinging back and forth like a pendulum- right, left, right left- and the noise which was just coming out of the wood. It was so bizarre.
