and against this background of general lack-of-money my mother buys herself a tenor sax for about twice as much as ashland costs. where is the justice in this?

every time i think i have ashland all worked out mum (i swear she does it deliberately) fucks things up.

but i have her signature on my form and teacher signatures all collected and buch/marston/hof approval...so there is NOTHING more she can screw up.

i'm going to ashland!
