Oh, but why not?

I walked by these benches in the Quad and had an urge just to lay down and enjoy the dappled sunlight. I would have if I was not on my way to do work (it's a rare occurrence for me to get that kind of productive urge, so I have to seize it when it comes along!). It's a beautiful day here on campus, and a nice way to start the weekend. Before I was a student here, I remember these trees being in bloom and taking a picture in front of them. I tried to take a picture with my cell phone camera... it doesn't quite do the area justice, but at least you get some idea of what it looks like. The refraction of the sun on the lens also gives it a more dreamy-rainbowy look, too...

I don't have much to talk about, so I'm hoping that during the time it takes me to write the next couple of sentences, I'll come up with a great topic!

Ah, I know.

I am usually listening to music when I make a post, so I'll add a little list of the songs I listen to during the course of the post! That'll come at the end.

OK, that was lame.

Tonight is our first orchestra rehearsal! We're going to have an incredible program this quarter: PROKOFIEV!! We're playing Prokofiev's Romeo and Juliet (with a happy ending...), Piano Concerto No. 2, and the Intermezzo from his opera War and Peace. The cool thing is that our soloist for the concerto is one of the best Prokofiev pianists in the world. We played with him 2 (?) years ago, and PBS was doing a documentary on him, he's that awesome. Also, we're playing the Romeo and Juliet with puppets.... It always makes playing a little bit more interesting, especially when it's a 50-something minute piece. We're playing as a part of the Lively Arts program, so we always get a bigger audience that way, which is always a plus. It's sometimes a little sad playing in awful Dink with a less than full auditorium.

Mmm.. wanted to take a nap this afternoon, but maybe I'll just go to bed early tonight.

Senior Night? Entourage? Movie? Sleep?

Hm. Decisions.
