I am listening to a beautiful recording of the St. Petersburg Choir singing "Chants of Orthodox Easter," which is certainly not correct liturgically but is very peaceful for the morning.
I'm feeling exhausted this morning. Didn't sleep much at all! Last night, I was headed home on the subway at 12:15 and a drunk guy came over and sat next to me and put his arm around me. I asked him not to, he called me a bitch, I got up and moved, he followed me over and grabbed my breast (damn it, why did I unzip my coat?!), I got off the subway at the next stop just as the door was closing and waited for the next train. It was creepy and unsettling and I had a really hard time calming down afterward. Makes me want to start biking more so I don't have to be on the subway!!
But things are good. I'm sorting my clothes out and trying to figure out what I want to bring with me and what I want to leave here. Looks like I"ll probably want my big suitcase. My mom gets mad if I don't bring enough clothes and she starts seeing a lot of repeats.
Last night we went to see Handel's Messiah at Tafelmusik. It was transcendent, especially the countertenor soloist. Seriously gorgeous, although I could've done without a few of the arias. Three hours is a long time to sit! It also made me very jealous...I always feel this way when I am listening to wonderful music. I just wish I could have a life totally full of amazing music like that.
Ugh. I should probably get back to packing. I am soooo tired, but I woke up at 7 this morning and couldn't sleep anymore. I hate that... I felt so tired and gross and I couldn't really drag myself out of bed, but I was awake, not getting any more sleep anyway... Yuck!
Oh well. I'll probably wake up more as the day goes on.
