It's so strange that there are only a couple weeks left in the semester. Provided I manage my time well and do well on all the projects I have due in two weeks, I'll be halfway through my master's degree! It's insane to think about, but I can't wait. I'm really stressed out right now - school, relationships, but mostly money. I'm giving in and ( Read more... )

I'm home. It's 77 degrees out. Not a cloud in the sky. Despite the fact that I brought an empty suitcase (or rather, 4 empty suitcases packed into 1) to the airport because I'm a fucking idiot and grabbed the wrong one, I'm pretty happy. I forgot how awesome it is when the sun is shining and there's color in the world.

I'm officially on Spring Break! Actually, I have been since Thursday at noon, and after many nights in a row of drunken debauchery, I've decided to spend today doing absolutely nothing. Also, I found out that Thomas, who I spend so much time and who I share drinks with and who stayed in my apartment Thursday evening because he had a sinus ( Read more... )

I forgot how similar "music school" and "high school" are. Stupid fucking drama bullshit. Essentially, someone was spreading a lot of lies about me and complaining out me. The worst part is that it was completely unprovoked; up until now, I've never had anything negative to say about this person. It's crap ( Read more... )

Valentine's Day came and went, and I actually didn't spend the night alone. I don't care about getting flowers and going on some fancy date...all I care about is having someone to snuggle with at the end of the day, and I actually got that. I was fine being single, but I think the day made me anxious nonetheless and the fact that most of my ( Read more... )

TGIF. It's been a pretty long week, but I think it's because my last weekend had playing commitments and felt more like workdays than weekend. I really need this weekend ( Read more... )

I was in Ann Arbor over the weekend, and it turned out to be a much more important weekend for me than I ever imagined it could be. My NRO audition was...well...awful. My tempos were inconsistent, my pitch was all over the place, and my right hand just decided not to participate in the Mendelssohn excerpt which I've played about a thousand times ( Read more... )

School is actually not so bad. Aside from my boring boring required class, I think this will be a less stressful semester. I scheduled my recital, but I'm going to wait until it's confirmed before I start getting my chamber groups set up. As of right now, it's March 14th because I wanted something before spring break. However, it's a lot of ( Read more... )

I feel like I'm going to become very depressed shortly after I return to Champaign on Friday, and it will have nothing to do with the weather...
