Wow. I have a lot to post about from the last month. I'll attempt bullet style, but they'll probably be long bullets ( Read more... )

On Thursday I told my supervisor that I'll be leaving Rosemont. My last day will be Saturday, July 22. I'm both excited and...I don't know. Something. I feel kind of weird about leaving. Actually, it's a bit surreal. I think there's a big part of me that still hasn't accepted it yet and thinks I'm faking or something. It would be easier if I ( Read more... )

What a crazy day at work. I think I can say with reasonable certainty that this was my least favorite day at Rosemont.

I saw some friends from Sagewalk tonight. We went to the Alvin Ailey dance performance. It was pretty cool, but not as good as I had hoped. It made me realize how much my judgement of dance depends on its music. One cool but gimmicky piece was a solo dance with crappy 1980 era avant garde synth sounds. The unique thing was creative use of ( Read more... )
