I read the article about Brighton in the D&C. What a trip down memory lane to hear about all my old teachers and descriptions of hanging out in the Trap office. I had such a good time in high school, I still have not let go of AP American. It sucks that colleges were a lot harder on the seniors this year than they were on us.

this weather SUCKS. I miss my dog. I pet Wally yesterday, he is a real gem of a dog. Lots of work with the Dems. Lots of IR reading. The refugee camp simulation is soon. Thank god I brought a sleeping bag to college. Had a surprisingly good master class with my voice studio tonight. Charley is so young, enthusiastic, and serious about his stuff. I felt a lot better about my Brahms. I like music a lot.
Sometimes I get scared that it is slipping out of my life, I was thinking of dropping chorus because it's a drag. But Andy is such a great conductor and the pieces were do are all beautiful. It's just so different from Eastman. At Eastman I was so used to being the worst in the class, the person who froze every time the music theory professor called on me. People would make comments to me and imply that they thought I was inferior because I wasn't a serious musician. I was the underdog, the "smart" girl who wanted to study politics instead of music. Here, I guess, everyone is a lot smarter and a lot less good at music, which makes me feel more at home. I swear that sentence isn't meant to be as awful as it sounds. But, yeah. It's true. I like Tufts so much. Music is what makes me feel closer to my mom. The only time she ever wants to get out of the house is to see a concert, and we will both get so excited together about seeing Christopher Seaman conduct the Mozart Requiem, and it's different from everything else about our relationship. You can bet that my kids will be taking suzuki lessons at an early age.
