Well hi, anyone who still has me listed as a friend! It's been forever since I've even looked at LJ let alone posted, but was sent here by Danielle to check something out, and here I am

Tim, is the school you applied to SF State? I very much hope you get accepted. Once you've lived in the big city you'll wonder how you ever did without it. Plus, you'll be close to me and Ted and Meredith and David and closer to Chris, so you'll be more able to see old friends. If you get in, I'll be happy to help you look for housing, since that can be a bitch.
Ihsan! Thank you! I may indeed need help looking for housing if I get in, but the school is actually, CIIS, California Institute for Integral Studies. From the open house, and from meeting people and having someone who's a Ph.D. student in the SCA program, it sounds like a really good place for me to continue my dreaming.
I'll keep you updated, of course. The whole moving to SF thing is scary, but at least it's one of the best cities I could choose in the U.S., that I've visited, for me.
I'm glad you're enjoying teaching piano to tess so much. You're such a good teacher. And she's one of the brightest kids I've ever met. I guess my only advice is to remember to use the socratic method as much as possible. Have I told you that the root for education is the (either latin or greek) root educo which means to draw out. I try to remember that whenever I'm teaching things.
In terms of your choir peeps, I've found that I either instantly click with people or I don't. And if I don't it takes time so that there can be shared experiences to connect about. Well, either that or you can follow the advice of a random article I found on Reddit which talked about a study that "proved" that humans like people who dislike the same people they dislike. So go in there and start talking about how much you hate Hitler. Umm, yeah.
Other than that, I think the whole thinking about the move thing is probably the scariest. Once you've done it, it won't be scary anymore. It will just be. Amazing.

Bloody! Seems I missed the time this post came around. Oy, I myself have off of LJ for a while. Congrats on the acceptance and the singing opportunities. I guess I shouldn't be asking since I've been out of the real world and into WOW for so long, but how have things been since? Are you moved into the city now? Any chance I can come bug you and catch up? Geez, it's been a while.
