ja, javisst. 

This class was fun.  Got to learn a lot about how the mind works and watched some cool videos in class... like the one about elevator psychology.  Apparently, if you get into an elevator with a bunch of people all facing one direction, you're likely to face that same direction because everyone else is.  For some reason, I didn't do so hot in the class, but I got to participate in a bunch of volunteer psychology experiments. 

Highlight of the class:  when the professor paid a student $5 to come down and dance on a table with her. 

The UW Afro-Cuban Jazz Orchestra!  This was the coolest experience I've ever had in a musical ensemble.  Well, for one... we had the supremely famous, Joe Santiago.

Ah-ha.  This class.  This class was private lessons with Joe Santiago.

It was pretty cool learning how to play the timbales, congas, bongos, bongo bell, piano, bass, panderetas, and more.  And Joe, what a character.  He was a great guy and I definately learned a lot. 

I sure did spend a lot of time in that basement room of the music building though.  Sometimes I'd be in there so long I'd have to bring a Subway footlong in there with me so I wouldn't have to leave for food.  That's the life of a musician though.  Practice, practice, practice... eat, and the practice some more.
