Finally Snowing!

We got our first snowflakes yesterday (and it's been snowing off and on ever since), after what has been a quite wet winter. We had three days of chilly rain leading up to the snow (and some sleet and wind to make things extra nasty), so I'm actually quite glad it's snowing. It's much prettier than sleet. And, happily, so far I have had no transport problems despite the snow. When I lived in Germany this much snow would have completely shut down the buses and delayed or canceled the trains.

This sounds crazy, but I still don't really know what I'm doing for vacation. I'll probably spend some time in Munich, and maybe some time in Italy, and definitely some time here practicing. Only little problem with that plan is that they actually close the school for break, but I'll find a time that I don't annoy anyone and practice here or something.

I have a few classes this week still, but things are really starting to calm down. Which, honestly, is quite nice. It's been a chaotic couple of weeks. I've had a lot of extra lessons, and extra concerts.

Random things I haven't posted on my blog: I now have a swiss driver's license, I'm playing solo with an orchestra in May, and I actually did pass my first semester of French (which, honestly, is kind of surprising. I'm quite bad at it. But yes, I will take it again next semester. Now it's become a matter of pride that I don't give up and stay this bad at it). I've also put my facebook into latin. This really doesn't have a point, but it makes me smile.

One last random thing. I wrote a guest post for a another blog (which is amazing), which you can read here. It's about playlists I've made of horn music on spotify.
