Today was a failure.  Mexico was wonderful.  The cruise will be long and stressful.

But I have the fact that my parents were super rad in college to carry me through.

I've been neglecting this for a while. 
I finally took a break from Bunin's mural and made some regular sketches.

It would be super-cool if you'd write me letters while I'm away for a few weeks.

I'll reply, for sure.

I am more than ready for summer.  The past weekend was so lazy and easy that I won't be satisfied until everyday is like that.  I started and finished "Laughter in the Darkness" today, and thus begins my Nabokov frenzy.  I'm starting Pnin as soon as I can get my hands on it (it was twenty four dollars at Horizon aka I didn't buy it).  I picked up ( Read more... )

Saturday night was quite possibly the most incredible night I've had.  A lot of interesting things and people were happening at the CAID and I'm glad I was there.  After we played (we were the best set of the night) a crazy hippy-woman came up to Emmy and I and thanked us profusely, that we "changed her life".

I hate saying that I'm overworked because I know I've got it easy, but this past week has been unbearably busy.  Thursday's final concert at OYO wasn't great, my hand started shaking during my solo in Venus, and I've never had stagefright before-- ever.  I spent the weekend with Emmy driving to Ann Arbor and getting lost then arranging orchestra ( Read more... )

My dad went to Cancun today and called me as ( Read more... )

I finally got home from Gatlinburg this morning.  The trip was alright, but definitely not seedy enough.  Everything was a tourist trap and I can't stand anything more than being forced to acknowledge that I am a tourist.  I missed Monty's more than anything while we were gone and I didn't even get a chance to stop in and see Esther today.  ( Read more... )

Stayed home again.  Feeling better ( Read more... )

So, oyo is doing a yearbook this year.  My parents are absolutely deadset on me being in it, and sent me to rehearsal last week with a camera.  Personally, I don't like being in yearbooks and I especially don't like asking people to take my picture/asking people if I can take their picture.  The entire night was comparitively awkward, but I got it ( Read more... )
