Well, it's not grad school, but...

[evilhippo]

I am now officially going back to school in the fall. Not, you know, proper school, and it's not for more than a couple hours a week, BUT I'll have an instrument that I have to carry to work and back on Wednesdays, and that will be geektastic (this being one of my minor motivations. Another being there were only three seats open in the class when there were 10 when I first saw it a few days ago. It kind of forced my patient hand.)

And now, unfortunately I'm kind of justified in ogling pretty little (actually affordable) acoustic-electric mandolins. (My goodness there are mandolins on there that cost more than small cars.)
