still i am learning

my practice session today was thwarted by the sounds of timpani and a booming bass drum. as much as i love percussion, i cannot focus with the tribal sounds of jazz musicians leaking through my door. i decided to fold in the name of sanity and to get some work done -but now i am blogging? really i am just waiting for my significant other to roll out of orchestra rehearsal so we can finish dinner and snuggle. yes, i admit - i am a softy and a procrastinator.

so much to do! caffeination has taken its nightly toll on me and my focus is about as good as something that is really tired and cannot focus well. today was spent hopping to and fro class, failing the hell out of an accounting exam, listen to more bad-to-worse speeches, skipping class to apply for a job and a subsequent lunch with friends, having an okay lessson, more class, finding out that i have well over a 100 average in my art history class, and eating a lovely dinner with a lovely person. if only my night could be so...average?

art history today was split between an english landscape painter and goya. we got through the court paintings and one other significant work of goya before our professor called it a night. disappointing! i want to see the raw, crazy goya. more motivation to go to class on wednesday, i suppose. as if an entirely extra-credit quiz weren't enough.

i have an hour and a half before my night winds down blissfully so i need to work on my speech. and away we go!
