general boasting
I now have a Masters of Music in Choral Conducting. GPA: 4.0. *bows*
My family (well, most of them *peers at![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
a517dogg*) came up for graduation, which was excellent. It is always very nice and comforting to have conversation with my family - I feel suddenly affirmed in my world-view (why, yes, naturally it is ridiculous to sing all religious music at the graduation ceremony of a secular institution! We don't even need to discuss it, it's just a given!) It sort of reminds me of who I am in a way that interacting with other people doesn't. Reminds me I was brought up right, if you will.
Tomorrow is 4 hours of rehearsal. (Aha! You think just because graduation happened, there are no more rehearsals? Fool.) Also, I need to clean my room, do massive amounts of laundry, pack, and find anything in the fridge that is likely to develop a complex nervous system in the next month and throw it out. Also, clean my inbox. (Ha!) Also, take care of certain job-hunting-related issues, certain bills, and certain timesheets. Sunday I leave for the Spoleto Festival in Charleston, SC with the Westminster Choir for a month.
It would be nice if the world stopped for a moment, but I suppose one oughtn't be picky.

Well, we all have our own opinions. But the prospect of going into NYC always makes me depressed and cranky. It's a city with some world-class resources indoors (Met, museums, etc.) and it houses some world-class people (hi,
Also, it's more than even money that if I go into NYC, I will come out with a sore throat or cold from the dirt and pollution. I can't imagine living in that environment.

Really? I thought I have The Worst Allergies on the Planet, and somehow I'm not allergic to NYC. To be sure, there's nothing quite so blechy to me as Manhattan's mid-summer perfume of simmering subway smoke, pedestrian sweat and curbside bags of garbage awaiting pickup... and for that alone I couldn't ever live in NYC, unless I had a CPW penthouse, driver and whatnot... which you have to admit wouldn't be so terrible. (Time to up my medication.)
