& your soul is all i ever wanted
No pianoo....
Today the plan was to just camp in Pearsons Hall until room lottery...
and practice on the piano there...
but when I got up to the lounge with the piano.... THERE IS A TALK GOING ON!!!! So now I am waiting for the piano and just sitting and waiting... and blogging finally...
Life is very sad nowadays..
I can't do my math problems and have a math paper to write on self-insurance that is driving me crazy
Weather is still cold and windy and apparently it may snow this weekend
I STILL HAVE NO NEWS ABOUT THE SCHOLARSHIP RESULTS (not to mention I found air tix back from NY for like, 900 USD. SO CHEAP RELATIVELY YOU KNOW. 我想回家去！)
other than that, let me say a bit about my future, as I realised I didn't mention my ACTUAL MAJOR when I announced that I had chosen it.
SO, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN (DRUMROLL) THE WINNER IS...
economics and management.
Possibly with a math minor, this will equip me to pursue finance in grad school. Have yet to decide what finance though. I also want a music minor! And hopefully by my 2nd or 3rd year they will have a Chinese minor!!
Yea, if it sounds like I am trying to achieve too much, I don't think I am really. Since is is useful to take the math classes, I will just take them, and since I like music I will pursue it (Chopin!! Debussy!! more on this later) and since I want to learn more Chinese, I will also pursue it!! I'm achieving a couple of life goals, how satisfying!
Now for Chopin and Debussy. I'm currently playing Waltz in B minor by Chopin and the Girl with the Flaxen Hair by Debussy. I LOVE BOTH. And my future room mate, a Chinese girl named Melissa is playing waltz in C sharp minor by Chopin and these songs are SIMPLY beautiful beautiful beautiful!! I'm going to play the Chopin for the student recital at the end of term, and IF i can I will get it recorded and put it online. Hee, I love it!!!
There is an amazing music professor on campus, and he teaches the piano ensemble class. APPARENTLY HE TOOK HIS DEGREE AND MASTERS IN MUSIC IN JUILLARD. *this is occasion to faint for joy and kudo kudo kudo* I was practicing the piano some weeks ago when he came in and began a discussion about all the variations that can be found in Chopin's Waltz in B minor, apparently he wrote 4 to 5 versions and THEN HE DEMONSTRATED THEM CAUSING THIS PERSON TO FLOAT TO THE SKY AND BEYOND and then he said he would photocopy some of the different versions for me and I think I reached the moon. HAHAHAHAHA. I got them a week later and THEY ARE AMAZING. So now I'm playing my 'own' version of the waltz, with my own variations.
OK i think that is enough big hearts talk for the day.One more month then this semester is over!! I should start on my HW now as I wait.
