Tease!

I recieved a letter from Hope Publishing today, and of course my heart jumpstarted from Andante to around Vivace. (yeah, music joke, I'm also teaching tempo markings to my 8th graders. nyah.) Since I get the mail before putting the car in the garage, I give the mail to Jenn and say "open it, open it!" It turns out that it is only a notification that they have recieved my music and will take 6-8 weeks to make their decision. My response was something like "Mrr!" but I was still geeked to even see them print my titles. Like that gives my music more legitimacy- someone else acknowledges it. Dorky, I know, but I really want to get music published. I want to feel like I'm a part of that industry. This is why I got into music in the first place.
