FiOS, Music and More

With Comcast's recent price increase (our basic plan became $60 a month because of new HD channels they now offer to other people), my parents seriously considered cutting TV off completely.
They had seen ads for FiOS Triple Freedom for a good price, but whenever they tried to go through the internet signup advertised, the price ended up being considerably more.
Well, they were finally able to get the advertised deal, which means we get better value for what we pay, as FiOS is, as far as I can tell... just about as good as they say it is.
Now, I'm not always able to get the internet to work, but that's mostly because of the computer I'm using and its modem (shoutout to my brother here). And all problems so far have been quick fixes. This may take some getting used to.
The TV: We don't have an HD TV, but the picture is significantly improved from what we had. We also get more channels.
The only problems I've had are the DVR and the connection with our combined DVD-R/W & VHS - we'll be checking in on that.
Hopefully, the last major feature change - reliability of the phone in case of emergency - won't need to be utilized.
All in all, I like this change. Honestly, I never really liked Comcast to begin with.

Also, I'm basically finished writing my first ever choral composition. Which means having all the parts, then taking a couple months to edit, expand, modify, and consult, before actually having a finished product. But hey, I've got the basic idea.

School is, to say the least, still hectic. Plus coronation tomorrow and Spirit Week...
And everything else that I do.
Because if it weren't this way, it wouldn't be me.
