China looms near. In six hours, if all goes well, I will wake and drag my suitcase across campus to the board the bus that will take me to the plane that will fly me to Beijing! I'm sure there will be little, and potentially not so little, stresses along the way but for the most part I'm feeling good about the next week. It's such an honour to be ( Read more... )

Just about to go out for the night, but needed to share this with all of you ( Read more... )

I took the bus, the train, and the subway to Brooklyn yesterday morning. I skipped music class to go and take Mark's ballet class, which in my opinion, is just about the best reason to skip a class there is. Anyhow, I drank about a litre of coffee in order to feel somewhat prepared for his class which can be devilishly tricky. I was sitting in a ( Read more... )

Turns out that a few kids have gotten fined for excessive downloading. I'm so mad because there's obviously a ton of new music I want to download before I go away and I clearly ( Read more... )

Until then I'm just going to keep ( Read more... )

My American history class is driving me insane. It is supposed to be a study of relatively contemporary American history through the examination of art from each respective period. In concept, it's a pretty cool class, but my teacher is ruining it ( Read more... )

At Purchase, if you want something done you do it yourself. I have been here so long now that I am craving new ideas and teachers, and a different atmosphere. I had a lot of success dancing this summer and I was offered the chance to take Mark Morris' and Merce Cunningham's class. I wrote a letter to the board of study at my school to ask if I'd be ( Read more... )
