I've decided I think Handel (besides Messiah) is boring. We listened to some concerto for flute or something. Don't get me wrong, the flutist was incredible and the sound that he produce was really beautiful. I can't really describe his sound... it was sweet and light and fluid all at once. But the piece itself was so static I found myself dozing. On the other hand there was some kind of other piece (in F sharp...) called "Farewell" by Haydn where orchestra members started leaving in the middle of the piece, which I thought was reeeeally cool. It was like modern art in music! It's like a musical where the actors leave the stage in the middle of a song (ooo! like that song in Sound of Music! So Long, Farewell or something). Yet the ending still had a finished quality to it which clearly showed that the players leaving the stage was intentional.
I thought that was waaaay cool. If I ever become an artist, I'm going to have an exhibit called "Farewell" as a tribute to Haydn. :D hahaha (but that'll never happen...)
O yeah, also for all y'all that that I haven't emailed (i'm sorry, I know I'm terrible at this)
I've decided to apply to grad school in Korea! I figured that while I'm here, I should be productive with my time and getting a masters in Korea is mad cheap (and when I mean cheap, I mean CHEAP - like $5-7K/year cheap). :D So it's definitely an option for me ^_^ But then it leaves the question , do I want to go ahead to England for my PhD or back to the states? X.x I reeeeeally want to go to England but I definitely have to decide if I want a PhD in Brit Lit (and what era?!) or American Lit. *sigh*~ I think I'm definitely leaning towards Brit Lit, but there's just so much that I have to explore before I make my final decision......
Anyhoo, that's about all that's going on for me for now. This has got to be one of my busiest weeks btw. X.x I have to like make time for muay thai. :( sux. I wish work was like school - 6 hours, the occasional homework and the endless pursuit of all those other extracurriculars (then I could do muay thai, be in an orchestra and still have time to fb, chat, watch anime and the like...) haha o well. I shall opt to sleep instead :) g'night!
Come back to the US! :)
