huzzah!
I just received my acceptance letter from the Hidden Valley Oboe Seminar! I get 6 hours a day with the one of the most famous oboists in the country, in sunny California... all for the paltry sum of 850 bucks. I'll probably end up taking out a loan for it, but what the hell. It's a drop in the bucket compared to my student loans for LU, and this is one hell of a break.
