Second day (sorry for being overly informative)
I've got my class assignments. Theory A1 and Sight-Singing C. Because they didn't want to foster a competitive atmosphere, they purposefully made it so that the A, B, and C classes didn't go in order of difficulty, since we had to test to get into them. I believe, however, that those are the highest levels of each. I have the first theory class tomorrow, so we shall see.

This is really more for my benefit than yours, but it's there if anyone's interested. It may appear light, but a lot of free time will be spent practicing/actually writing, so it's not quite as open as it seems; plus, the private composition lessons will take place in some of those empty spaces. There are a lot of activities to occupy the downtime as well, so I'm in no danger of being bored or unoccupied while here.
The nearby cafe makes excellent chai, I was pleased to learn. They have sandwiches on weekdays if I want, but the meals from the cafeteria are already paid for and not at all bad. But it makes me feel quite guilty that we're not even allowed to clean up our own trays; instead, we put them on a rack that lies between us and the kitchen staff. It bothers me, but what will one do.
Anyway, I'd better get to sleep, since I was up so early this morning in order to get in a shower. Therefore, good night!
