Senior Sem - gaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh!
Okay, so this whole senior thing is really starting to sink in, and I'm really not liking it so much. I've already had two meetings about senior sem for history, I'm supposed to have my recital personnel secured (or close to being secured) by next WEDNESDAY (which is funny since I still don't have a date set in stone yet), and I've got to know all my notes and technical shit for my November recital by fall break. And that whole buying an oboe thing too...might get to go to Madison to look at oboes too (but I'm still trying to pan out South Bend vs. Minneapolis as well), but that's after fall break.
Speaking of fall break, might get to go to the Riverside (or some other theatre in Milw) to see Shakespeare's 12th Night! Huzzah!!! That would be exciting!!!
So today, as I was perusing the web in my infinite boredom between class and class, I stumbled across a link, which just reinforces just how much I love my city!!!
http://www.milwaukeecollegelife.com
What's not to love??? In skimming through the website, it did occur to me that the last time I was at the Domes, it was probably a third grade field trip. (We probably would have gone in fourth grade, but we were busy with field trips to farms, snicker, snicker - see December archives if you have no clue what I'm talking about). I probably should go to the Domes sometime, they're fun!!
Speaking of fun, and weird, and extremely random (it relates to field trips), I went on a field trip to the Milwaukee Public Museum with my Latin American history class last summer, the day after writing my book report on one of the worst books I've ever read, and consequently finished/wrote the book report the night before, finishing at around 4:30AM...then was falling down tired at 9am the next morning while we were browsing through the museum. At one point, we were standing in front of an enormous statue of a head like the ones found on Easter Island, and my professor was telling us how some people theorized that these giant head statues were actually space ships, and for some reason I found that extremely funny. I have no idea what prompted this memory, but I almost fell off the stairs laughing because spaceships in the form of giant head statues is a pretty preposterous idea!! Anyway...
So the point of this is that I heart my city!!! Not that I've spent any long amounts of time there since winter break, but hey, details details. Where do you think I'm going after graduation?? I mean, provided I don't go to grad school or move back to Ohio or something?? :)
