I made a thread a while ago that my mamma was going to buy me a viola, but then it had been so long that it looked like it wasn't going to happen, and being really down lately I don't have much enthusiasm as I used to so I told her not to worry about it.
Well I got a message yesterday from her than she has been saving up for a while and has $450, so we can go look for a viola. I'm still not jumping around the place (I have literally lost all my enthusiasm for anything that used to interest me), but I'm still pretty stoked. It will give me something to do, and playing music is meant to be good for the mind.
So either today or tomorrow, I should have a brand new viola!

P.S. I accidentally posted this same thread in the Technical Support forum because I thought I was in Social Chat (it's 5am, what do you expect?), so just, um, ignore that...
