back in oberlin.
break was fantabulous. soo relaxing, soo much sleep, soo much fun with friends and family. really, it was just what i needed. i may have hibernated for a good fourth of it, but at least i am restored to a human state again. plus, on 31 december when i was having an amazing new year's with my friends, i realized that i was actally really glad that i wasn't going to london, cause i would have already been gone.
winter term is shaping up nicely. i'd forgotten how nice it is to be here and have the chance to hang out with my friends completely guilt free, plus the added bonus of not having to suffer the company of people i don't actually like. yeah, so there was a blip on the drama front that corresponded with a dip in my faith in people, but i guess my life was getting to be too boring. besides, a day of seething rage makes up for a drama free semester i suppose. looks like it's not just physical strength i'm building this month. and i've learned a good workout totally helps mediate aggression. it's fabulous. i still think i may be in a little over my head with this whole opera (damn you, crazy freaking germans!), but it's nice to have a challenge again on the violin front. and my calluses are coming back, which makes me ridiculously happy. the admissions office is less than exciting, but, at least, i should be making oodles of money. which is always a good thing.
