Last Stretch of Junior Year Day 17 - Sibelius 5.2.5

I am basically spending some time arranging "Don't Stop Believin'" by Steve Perry, Neal Schon and Jonathan Cain, performed by Journey.  Okay, most Americans know this piece already.  Basically, I am quickly scribbling out an arrangement of this piece for string orchestra (along with electric guitar, bass, and hopefully, drums) so that my orchestra can have something to sightread.  I've already played around with this song back in COSMOS, where my cluster performed this piece for the talent show.  And I'm the bored person pretending to look cool, by being the conductor.  In general, I more or less know the song very well by now, since we've had so many rehearsals there already.  This is my justification for arranging the piece. 

So I've busted out Sibelius to start writing in some parts.  And when the program loaded, it told me to check for updates.  So I looked at that, and my web browser pulled up saying "update to Sibelius 5.4." And then I saw "or Sibelius 5.2.5 for windows" on the website.  It's hard to imagine I've had this program for so long now.
