This week, I like The Great Lake Swimmers, Red House Painters and Yeaysayer :)
sO I sent off my university application yesterday. It was pretty rad, I went to my tutor with cake and a lsit of things for him to put on my reference. He always did strike me as a raisin kind of guy - lovely but just a bit dull. Turns out I'm a good judge of cakey character. University's suddenly scary now it's all out of my hands. It seems like a kind of conveyor belt which is already planned out for you: school, college, uni, job, midlife crisis. And I don't like it. I know people who have dropped out and landed on their feet just fine so why the heck not? Some people do love Uni though, I just hope I'm one of them cause otherwise this is all going to seem like a total waste of time.
NEVER MIND
Cath, gap year sounds AWESOME especially that one in africa. If I had the money I would take the year out but right now I'm just saving up for living costs at university (if I ever acually go). I would love to travel some time (like, not family holiday - an actual adventure) but I don't think it will happen for another couple of years unfortunately. People want too much money for you to see their country which makes me wonder what it is they're hiding...
I'm super-phsyched today cause I went to my piano teacher and she said I don't have to learn the third movement of my sonata for my performance exam, which means I only have to play the two movements and can still make about 15 minutes worth. Great news - Mozart is borrrrrring. Should be done in like two or three weeks and then FINALLY I can play what I want to play.
Speaking of music - when are we getting together for acousticing stuff up? Cause we almost did that one time but everyone was busy doing this and that and I never ended up there in time and it all seemed to come to nothing. Oh and David, if you want my advise, don't take the music course, A level has absolutely destroyed everything I loved about classical music - maybe it's just me, some people like it. I'm sure the degree is totally different anyway, right? PS. still covering my saturday 9-1? :)
Well, I don't know what else to say. I've just realised that the town lights come on in like ten minutes and I should be able to see the fireworks from my room. Maybe that's what I'll do next.
Oh yer, Juliet - well done for posting this week.
Toodles!
