Exclamation Point

I notice that my recent post titles have all ended with exclamation points. Today I shall break that pattern!

Last week I went to Shchuchinsk for a conference on community activity things. It was good to have gone. I learned more about how the long-haul bus system works and I feel better about using it in the future. The bus station in Kokshshatau also has not been refurbished since the USSR and still has a medallion portrait of Lenin on the wall. He looks pretty creepy.

I also have learned about 1000 words so far this week. My goal is 1000 cards learned by IST at the end of March. It would be nice to get 1500.

I also found a cool add-on for WinAmp that physically organized my music into more coherent file hierarchies. I'm very happy with it and got rid of about 100 duplicates that have been cluttering my library. I still haven't figured out how to prevent it from displaying my audiobooks in the same window as my regular songs, but I am confident that it is merely a matter of time before I discover the solution.

I almost have three songs on my violin (exclamation point)
