So. Here I am in Aspen, Colorado. I haven't updated in months, and I figure it's about time.
I arrived here for the Aspen music festival on Wednesday. Since arriving there hasn't been much to do since auditions aren't until tomorrow anyway. The people are nice, the food is awful, etc. There are roughly a billion current and former Oberlin students here, which is quite the double edged sword. I'm certainly less motivated to make new friends, even though that's what I really want from this summer. I love my oberlin friends dearly, but some of them have become sort of stale or something like that.
:(
In other news, I'm living in a campus owned apartment next year at Oberlin with three of my most favorite people ever and can't wait to be back.
I'm now working at the bowling alley, which is the sweetest job ever. I get to practice for free whenever I want and it's really interesting. Not only am I responsible for spraying shoes, but I get to fix the pinsetter's when they malfunction! :) In the fall I'm going to be trained for pinsetter maintenance work as well as lane oiling (yes, there is oil on the lanes. no, it is not wax). I have my own ball and my own brand new pair of bowling shoes. It's become a really important part of my life. It's probably the most relaxing thing I can think of doing.
Anyway... I'm done. Aspen rocks and is totally beautiful. I just went on a hike this morning and can't wait to go on more.
