1) Yay for health care! Down on all of those people who seem to think we're all going to be euthanized, or that Obama is planning on the next apocalypse. Chill the fuck out, people! Things are not changing that much- most of america will still be on private health insurance- they might just pay less. I realize that may conflict with your socialist, anarchist views, but the rest of us need something to take care of us when Marx isn't.
2) Yay for kicking into forearm balance on my lonesome!
3) Yay for going to Quebec in May, and spending some quality with the one, the only, MARY-KATHRYN. I got off the waitlist for Domaine, which means I'll get to do some intensive Beethoven quartet time, and some time in my favorite of all the Canadian provinces.
4) Yay for going to Toronto to see Vampire Weekend on Tuesday, even though I'm ditching ensemble and must get gravely "ill" to get out of it.
5) Yay for sunshine, boo for 30 degree weather.
6) Yay for deciding on going back to Banff in July. After having a tough decision between Banff and bang on a can, I decided on Banff, since the wilderness is calling to me. And it's cheaper.
7) Yay for some super sweet offers of my future:
a) Yizhak Schotten, the slightly nutty teacher of University of Michigan wants me to be his TA at this random summer festival in Santa Barbara. I played in a masterclass for him last week, and I guess he liked it. More details to follow.
b) There's an open teaching job at SUNY potsdam teaching viola as secondary instrument to Music Education majors, and Carol suggested I apply. It would mix up the whole "move to Boston" plan, at least for a semester, but it would be a sweet gig. ($12000+ for 1 semester) I have applied-we'll see what happens! (This does mean that I wouldn't move until January, if this happens...we'll talk, Ju.)
8) Yay for my new hot pink flats- $10 at urban. yes. they're awesome and you want them.
9) Two boo's for the fact that many of my friends are waitlisted at Banff, as I want to spend time with them. And boo for the fact that I have a shit ton of homework these days, and I'm playing a whack ass contemporary piece for someone, in which half the battle is figuring out the rhythm.
10) 1 boo for a difficult week of sleep, perhaps due to watching "Zodiac" on sunday night...
Total for the week: 8+ yays. a few boos. Overall, a successful week in the life.
