I finished my bike project. It is beautiful. LOOK:
A terribly bad picture of yee ol' bike in living room. But that was my summer project, and not the reason why I am posting (though I am terribly proud of my bike, and how i painted and buit it, with the help of my friends at Northern Lights for the wheels and such...)
So I post because I feel as if I am turning another corner in my academic life. Lets see, I helped save the Art Renegades this week. I got my first Fellowship today - now a Wilson Fellow and a Grote Scholar. I feel like I have a TON of responsiblity on my back - I have to constantly perform and must not slack a bit. There is tooo much on the line at the moment.
The thesis - The NY Downtown music scene is so incredibly facinating. I thought i picked a good undergrad research topic, and i may have something that could lead my research into graduate school - who knows dissertation? Yeah, there is simply not enough written, not enough established. It is starting to pick up steam, but I am finding limited sources and such.
THIS IS EXCITING. What have I done, where am I going - SERIOUSLY! Everything is so incredibly optimistic at the moment. For once optimism.
I am a senior. I am SOOOOO a senior. I love it here I really do... but... I HAVE TO LEAVE, and gosh darn it - sometime soon. And when I mean sometime soon I mean ohhhhh I am going to NYC again on Thursday! YAYAYAYYAYAAYA!!! RESEARCH! And that whole Reich at 70 celebration at BAM too... I just can't wait.
Also I am, for sure, going to Italy in Decemeber, but more on that later.
This is short, because i am tired. And I just had this wave of - damn it you did it, your doing it, your going to be it - run all over me. Its nice to know you found your place. Hopefully I stay here. night.
