I'm sitting here working my butt off on my orchestra piece for my last lesson of the year tomorrow, and I realize..

wait, this isn't just my last lesson of the year, it might very well be my last lesson ever!

That's right, this term marks the end of my coursework at school. Next year, I don't have lessons anymore, just thesis meeting, which will seem like lessons, but not in the same way.

I realize that we never stop learning, but it's interesting to think that I've sorta met the end of the line for traditional, institutional education.

Ok, back to work!
