Jeebus. I have basically lived through my first semester of graduate school. It wasn't even that bad. Well, minus the extreme, not being able to afford to do laundry or buy a Sunday newspaper kind of broke-ness. :) But yeah. Last night I had one of those moments of ultimate clarity when I realized I am the right person, in the right place, at exactly the right time. I may have alluded to this before, but Gradschoolville and I get along quite nicely. Would I sound like something out of "The Lion King" if I said life is like a circle, and that everything before now has led up to the present in a perfect curve?

(That made more sense last night before I fell asleep. The major problem with not having a computer in your apartment is that you can't write these (semi-)wonderful thoughts in your diary before bedtime when you think of them. Yeah.)

Where was I going with this? Um.

I handed in the final copy of my Ukrainian folk songs paper for ethnomusicology, e-mailed the professor and said just maybe I would make some Uki food to go with my presentation next week, copied and handed in concerto competition music for next semester, and went to the ghetto bookstore and got a whopping $17 for four little books. I was actually impressed, especially as they said they weren't buying back two of my books. Like the university bookstore is really going to give me any money for them, but still. Something to look forward to. :)

I should maybe go pretend like I care about my flute jury tomorrow. Blech. Perhaps not.

That's all for now. Have a lovely evening everyone! :)
