"January 8th, 8:38pm, EST.... From here on out I type without a script...."

"see if anything comes of it..."
"instead of my old shit."

Can you name the show?

So it's a few hours before I go to sleep and tomorrow, Grad school 2nd term restarts with my least favourite course, baroque fugue. It's not that I dislike listening to Baroque Fugue... But I don't really enjoy creating it. I especially don't enjoy having to create it for marks... But that's besides the point. I just can't believe that's already 2nd term. It seems like just yesterday I had just moved to London, and it only seems like mere days since I quit work and flew to Vancouver, and only maybe a week since I had convocation and spent the summer drinking wine with Haley. I guess I just wanted to remark upon how fast time flys. It seems in the last year that things seems to be happening faster and faster all the time. It feels like everything is coming up so fast. It wont' be long before I'm 24... And that's kind of freaky in a way. On the other hand... I couldn't care less.

The whole passage of time makes me happy though because it won't be long till summer is back again. I'll be done classes, friends will be around, and, hopefully, I'll be gainfully employed with the CBC. I spent about 2 hours Friday night redoing my resume and making up a cover letter to send off to the CBC. I've been listening to it so much lately, and I just feel like working there would be fantastic. Even if I'm only in the mailroom to start it could to lead to so many interesting opportunities both within the CBC and with the arts community in general in Toronto. Actually the mailroom or the archives wouldn't be so bad.. I could just sort stuff with my headphones on and generally spend my work day zoned out... Ah zoning out....So theoretically, I may be moving to Toronto this summer, and perhaps permanently depending on the nature of my job with the CBC (if I get one). Since classes are over, staying in London doesn't seem entirely necessary as I only need to be here one day a week to do my thesis.

Anyways, it's almost time for Family Guy and American Dad... Part of my 2 hour break from the tediousness of editing my string and orchestra parts for my upcoming readings in a week... I can't wait to hear them and validate the feeling of increased skill I've had recently...Or the crushing weight of failure... eek.

Yeah Toronto.

You, me, and Denis should be like some stupid sitcom.

You only need to be in London one day a week to do your thesis? I foresee myself in the lab everyday of the week when my research starts.

Well ok, whenever I'm not out doing summery stuff that is.

Difference is that you don't need a lab to write music.

hmmmm, or EVERYONE could move back to Kingston and make it seem less vapid here ... I guess that's not going to happen is it.

That's great that you are getting your name in there at the cbc, small steps to a big dream I guess.
