Absolutely. We’re overdue for a wine-and-brahms party, huh?

Adrian showed this to me about a week (?) ago, and I’ve been thinking about it since then. His facial expressions are just so amazing - I checked out some other videos of him singing his songs, and I just really like watching him perform.

I fucked up my other grad school audition - and an audition that I had a few days later for a summer program - so I’m not going anywhere for the foreseeable future. Having all sorts of feelings about it - some good feelings, actually, but mostly shitty ones. Don’t know what else to say (maybe, when I’ve figured out more of what I want to say, I’ll write a longer post), but I just felt like I needed to tumbl that news.

“

With the future hanging just out of reach
And constantly receding, like the edge

Of the water floating across the sand.
Poems are the fruit of the evasions
Of a life spent trying to understand

The vacuum at the center of the heart

”

(because I spoke with Y, my roomie, a little while ago and realized that I hadn’t actually told her this yet)

I got another audition for grad school! It’s for another really good school, a bit further away than the last one I auditioned for. Looking forward to taking a trip, even though I know the circumstances will make me extremely nervous. The audition is in the beginning of May. Wish me luck?

In spite of my best efforts, the grad school process blew up in my face a little. I narrowed my list down to four schools - all of which I loved. One of them rejected me when I auditioned, one of them screwed up my application and left me with no choice but to cancel it, and I just learned that one of them is losing the head of its conducting program in the Fall, with whom I wanted to study and who was basically the reason I looked into the school in the first place. The last school is this coming audition. Getting very nervous that I may not go anywhere in the fall. Trying not to think about it now, preparing for the audition, but there it is. Making me feel all kinds of sad/angry/frustrated/anxious.

my favorite thing about kermit the frog is that sometimes he makes this face

I am a fan of kermit the frog. :) It’s not that easy being green.

Here’s another I want to study. Les espaces du sommeil, by Lutoslawski. My teacher conducted this piece a few months ago - so cool.
