general boasting

[wavyarms]

I now have a Masters of Music in Choral Conducting. GPA: 4.0. *bows*

My family (well, most of them *peers at 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.

Hey, this is tuning fork kid. I'm in the bottom of NC, so it is very plausible for me and a few friends to take a day trip down to Charleston for Spoleto. I was looking on the Spoleto site and saw individual performances, the Mozart Mass in c minor, and...somewhere I remember seeing Don Giovanni? Maybe in the paper?

Which of these should I try to come see?

Congratulations!

I have a 2 year thesis process ahead of me, but today I finished 3 years of coursework. It feels pretty damn good.

And I can't decide between two of my icons so I'm gonna stretch my comment over two in order...

Hey I'm working on graduating myself. I still have a 15 page paper left, and _I_ can't write some "Choose your own adventure" story either.

Besides, someone isn't coming up to my graduation either....

PS I'm drunk
