It's been over a week since I blogged something... I guess I've found way to fill my time.
I have been incredibly busy as of late, mostly with work but with social stuff too. Which is good. Since my last blog entry I have been really productive in my classes and work ethic. I have logged a lot of hours in the studio working on a cool piece for two oboes and live audio processing effects, committed 300 bars of piano music by Beckwith into an arrangement for Orchestra, got good at minventions, wrote an invention, collected works for the syllabus for MUSC350 next term, and finally got something good done for my composition for piano, french horn, and violin.
I have decided to create even more work for myself by applying to music direct Sweeny Todd next term for Theatre Western. If I get this I'll be applying a large amount of stress opera style and combining it with my insane work load meaning the social stuff I've done as of late will fly by the wayside. But even my professors say I should do it. Despite the exhaustion it may cause.
I saw Elizabethtown yesterday. What a great movie. Makes you feel good about life. Also confirmed the fact that I need to go on a roadtrip at some point in my life. Going on a roadtrip is now a priority to be added to the list of things to do when grad school is dead in 2007.
Started playing through Final Fantasy III (aka VI). What a freaking amazing game and soundtrack. Forgot how much fun video games are. Must remember to rent Soul Calibur 3 and to acquire a copy of Civilization 3 for my Mac.
Mac's are amazing. One day I will write a post on how amazing my Apple computer is and why everybody should switch. Mac's are almost a quasi-religious experience.
Made firm plans to go to New York City for a few days in December to explore the Big Apple. Have never been but am making a list of things to do and see... And trying to figure out how cheap I can make it to New York City for. Got to see MOMA, Guggenheim, Empire State Building, Times Square, Central Park, Carnegie Hall, Radio City Music Hall, Broadway show (hopefully Spamalot, Rent or Avenue Q), and etc.
This post was all over the place topic wise. But so am I. The insanity of work is making me lose my mind... I'm operating on many levels as my brain blows fuses and I count the days till classes die for this term.... Only 30 days.... "Pray for mojo"
Weeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

That is one scary picture dude. Definitely portrays very accurately the frustrations of a grad student.
i got the cut on my face by being very tired and shaving...
I don't know whether to congradulate you or condamn you for that pun Laura.
