I'm officially DONE D-D-DONE DONE DONE DONE with Chamber Orchestra.
THANK YOU ALL THAT IS WONDERFUL AND GOOD.
Next stop? Orchestral Hall, May 29th. MMM BABY.
Oh, and that pesky joint recital I'm planning. Franck and Menotti, anyone?
Finals and I'm THROUGH. Which means aural performance exam (yikes), musicianship final (since when where there ( Read more... ) -
patches also = not infalliable
After said proclaiming of Patches to be a demigod amongst cellos (okay, so I'm exaggerating... a bit) I found a huge-ass, meaning 5" long, open seam on the back of the left shoulder. Great. You know what this means?
I get to ride a bus/train/cab for an hour and a half to Skokie! Yes, it is as exciting as the name sounds. YayStupid Chicago weather ( Read more... ) -

a clean dorm (on my part, at least) is a happy dorm
IT IS GOING TO BE ABOVE FREEZING TOMORROW!
REJOICE!
Memo to all: Chicago is FUCKING COLD.
Maybe I'll update sometime. It's all audition stress and back pain, as per usual, but it might be interesting for some. I'm debating getting into the vblog scene... we shall see. :)

you have to love me one third more, now
I've learnt that I am a very secretive person, when I want to be.For the past two years, I have been extremely reluctant to tell anyone, no matter how close they are to me, that my brother is fighting leukemia.
