Soon I'll be in London (my mind is just beginning to grasp this) and from there this will hopefully turn into more of a travel journal. At which point I'll hopefully update somewhat regularly. Again, hopefully. If I start slacking though and you want to be kept up to date, TELL ME. I might need someone to hound me to sit down and write ( Read more... )

Slowly, I'm getting some amount of closure in my life before going abroad. Surprisingly, it's a very good feeling. There's no point explaining it all here though, so if you really want to know you can just ask me ( Read more... )

Well, I'm feeling significantly better today. I don't know, life is just a little weird in that everything seems on pause until I leave.

A combination of things have been influencing it the past couple days. First of all, the election obviously played into it. Candidates ( Read more... )

So on Dec 3rd I'm going to hear Haydn's 'Surprise' Symphony and Rach's 2nd Symphony at the Kennedy Center for $20. :-D Granted, it's the side of the First Tier, but still. Anybody interested in going?

You know, it's an amazing thing to have free time. After spending the past year running almost nonstop, doing "productive" things probably 50 hours a week or more, I really begin to question the American work ethic.
