Oberlin news!
So I just talked to the office of the Dean of Studies, and they said that my expusion was just a scare tactic. Crazy, no? So they said I will be suspended for two semesters and they "strongly recommend" that I do not appeal to come back early. So my Oberlin degree may yet be showing up at some point in the distant future! Now I'm seeing, like I always do, if I can turn this to my advantage. I'm seeing if I can do the two semesters of suspension followed by two semesters of personal leave, by which time I will have finished my Berklee degree. Then I can go back to Oberlin if I still want to, and finish up there. Sadly, all of you Obies will be gone by then, but what this means is that I can finish up if I want to. It also changes me from "College Dropout" to "I'm taking some time off to work on music and to get my music degree", which feels a lot better. I wonder what Oberlin will look like when I go back - I wonder what will be happening there. I might become a harkie and do the coop thing the next time I swing through.
Speaking of HIppie-tude, I'm going to a big festival in Jamaica and will be living in a house with a bunch of fire artists! I'm also working with a bunch of industrial musicians tomorrow night, and it might lead to a lasting group. This coming weekend, I'm going to the opening of a local fire studio, the following weekend I'm visiting fire buddies in Raleigh, and then I'm heading out to Jamaica. This is a big month for fire!
Oh yeah - 3 new poi move sequences, most of them adapting butterfly variations to weaves. Booyah.
When your main focus is spinning, techno, and guitar, you get better at all of them real quick. I forgot how much time I spent studying, and what I could have been doing with that time. Once again, my life tells me that I'm Krunk. Mad skillz, but sometimes kinda dim. And you know what? I'm starting to be okay with that.
If I recall correctly, I'm going to go hookah-ing with Aaron and Erin tonight! It's been a blast hanging out with old friends this past week, and if this keeps up life will be good!
