(no subject)
i'm so. tired. i can already tell this semester is going to kick my ass.
biking to work in the frigid cold takes its toll but i have no other way of getting there and i like my job too much to quit simply because my commute means freezing on a bike for 10-15 minutes. sigh. at least my boss is nice enough to drive me home whenever i want. but i prefer the exercise. that's another thing. i finally got off my ass and started running again and it feels so good to incorporate more movement into my day. i'd feel like a lazy ass otherwise. also rough - biking to the dance building for digital chamber music ensemble with 20 pounds of gear in my backpack. FML!!!
my 20th century theory class is soooo great... i ended up doing a mini performance because my teacher was lecturing on some schoenberg pieces and i mentioned that i had played them so he had me come up and do em. i'm so haaapppyyyy that i have the opportunity to focus on all this wonderful music this semester and simultaneously acquire the tools to understand what these oddballs were thinking when they wrote them...
last night ali and i went to a show at arbor vitae and it was fun. i met some new jazz people i see in the hall at school every day and now i have a reason to say hello and converse with them without it being awkward hooray!
tonight i shall hang out with sarah and then go to a co-op thing with katie and her pals.. i'm very glad that the weekend is long so i can squeeze in seeing more people and having new-ish experiences. hmmmm....
had my first comp lesson early this morning. it was really fucking great. bright sheng says i am exceptional for someone who is not a composition major. he said, "we all liked your piece at the concert, this means you are a good composer." after i played my piano piece he said he didn't have much criticism for it, which kind of blew my mind a little bit... (even though i did work very hard on it.) good news. i hope the composers' forum accepts that shiz!!
i do not like it when people make sexual advances via text message.
i enjoy love letters in the mail.
i also love how at least half of the emails that the radio station sends out are in regard to baked goods that are made for us. it's just so damn cute.
