Senior year has so far been a lot of fun. I mean I am rolling in so much research and fun and well benefits of being such a gosh darn good student. What do I have to complain about - nothing really. I went to NYC last weekend researching for my thesis. I thought I was going to find the smoking gun - but no of course I am not! HOWEVER! I must say this thesis of mine is falling into place wonderfully! If anything it took time to realize i might have a bullet (not the gun) so at least I have some ammo. I keep on talking to people who know people - or better yet finding out that it is a really limited topic - yet there is enough out there to sustain my argument. No - I am not going to have a book (maybe by the time I finish my PHd - HAHAHAHA!) but I will have something substantial to say. That my friends is very interesting. Also I think - not super certain but mostly - found out I am basically TAing a class until I leave next December (oh I just kinda don't want that day to come... such is life...). This is super cool! I find the experience to be great and helping my teaching skills - but I don't do too much teaching but I observe so why not its wonderful and so is life at the moment!
Otherwise - what can I say I have 4 music classes this semester and one english. The english just happens to be literary theory which ties in perfectly with my new (ooh daring) excuse me - current musicological studies. Understanding what literature will give me a greater understanding of what musicology is doing. So, this past thurs was Joyce day and for my Lit. Theory class I had to attend the entire day - I was planning to anyway. It was incredible. I loved the papers my friends wrote and the concert that night was simply incredible to say the least. Ah, farmington - how small and amazing you are.
I don't know what to say - I am procrastinating once again - what else is new? Hopefully this week will be a full week, not like last. Hopefully a little less hectic - less roommates getting hurt, friends having babies, joyce days, coming back from NYC completely wasted (meaning the lacking sleep wasted...) wilson scholars luncheons and open house running arounds. Seriously, I need time to breathe. Oh well, maybe I won't go home this weekend. I think I owe it to myself. Ive gone home, for good reason, every weekend since august... yes, so maybe I need some me time. That would be nice.
OH.... and
Its
73 days 13 hours and 50 mins (roughly) Till I leave for ITALY!!!!!!!
(oh boy!)
