So I went up to Watertown for Blueballs. Not to give them ;) but to give bruises resembling the shade. It was fun. I got to play outside center for a half (a position i really like) and then fly-half for a full game. It would have been more fun if the weather weren't quite so wretched. Still, it wasn't as cold as the first year I went up there. No snow this time, or freezing rain. Blueballs is a sentimental tourney for me actually because it's the first tourney I ever played as a rookie. So I always go, and the weather is .... well, a given. No matter what it's always bitter. I basically spent from 9-5 shivering (this includes being drenched head to toe). Ahh, rugby. :)
Still no word from Syracuse. I'm calling once more Mon. to harrass them. On a different note, I met these guys from the local news station on Friday (SfM- of which I'm a part- was giving a press conference). Anyway, the camera guy and I got to talking and he has some good experience in the field I'd like to be better acquainted with, audio production, radio, etc. And he has these 'connections'. So, if the Syr. thing doesn't work out there might be options here for internships. hell, even if it does work out. But we'll have to see. I mean, he gave me his name and number, but people can be shady so I have to be sure his 'connections' or what have you are for real. That and both he and the reporter were, let's say, attentive. *raises eyebrow and smirks*
My recital is killing me. I want to cut out the Polish songs. I'll talk to her, the notorious Prof. B, on Monday about it. I initially have this idea that she'll throw me "the look" and say something about me not being a serious music student, or worse, pressing me to do them anyway. The thing is; I don't even need to do the recital to graduate. I'm simply putting it on for myself and the many people who have supported me through all this schooling. I'll have to see how the change in program might effect my application for honors. But my sanity, my overall happiness, and a successful program I can be proud to produce are what is most important. There's a reality factor that comes into play here: time. We'll see how it goes. I'm sure I can negotiate something. I pretty much need to.
There are a hundred things in my head that have to do with this semester ending. graduation and all it's impending promise and doom. but....i'll save that juiciness for another entry since it'll probably wind up being the subject of more than one.
Instead, iPod. I do not know anything about it. except it's Apple. and I am definitively a Windows girl. I'm not sure why. It just is. but I've been pondering this iPod epidemic that has seized control on my fellows. And, even as the music lover I am, have refused to bite. Today, however, while driving back home after the tourney, my rather clever mate pulled out her iPod and this lil' attachment called iTrip. She proceeded to hook the thing up, a masterfully simple task I might add, and as we tuned to a frequency- BaM-there was the music we had requested from her iPod. Playing clearly over the air and smoothly into our ears. Needless to say, were I standing I would have taken a step back, or forward...I would have taken a step at any rate. And so now I wonder....might I be missing out on a sweet lil' piece of music equip. And if so, that must be some type of crime for a woman in my business. no?
Perhaps I ought to add iPod to the emerging list of technologies I wish to acquire upon graduation. thoughts?
Well, I have a bit of a cold. Began with a sore throat thurs.(an ache) and began to move into my head yesterday (nasal and raw throat). I thought today would be brutal given the weather conditions I was exposed to, but.....not so much. Turns out the nasality is mostly gone and my throat is no longer sore. It's scratchy instead. I did almost lose my voice at one point, but it rallied. No singing here of course, but at least I can swallow without outlandish discomfort.
That's all for an update now. I'm just keepin' real busy. Y'all hear more soon since graduation is so close and since i'm still expecting a new addition to our fam. within a week or so!
peace
