strings.

i don't know if it's because i've been listening to a lot of andrew bird lately, but i've had the biggest urge to start playing the violin again! i read an article that said andrew bird learned how to play using the suzuki method (like us!) and he plays with such a serene, exhilarating sound. i've also wanted to learn how to play the guitar for a very long time, so maybe this will be the summer of running and instruments! we'll see.

i'm also very much over working in restaurants. i found an internship at the JFK library for this summer which sounds really interesting. not so much fun or exciting but interesting. the deadline is next week though, and i need a letter of recommendation, so i don't know if i'll be able to get it in on time. we'll see.

two weeks left of school! i cannot wait. i realized the other day that, because of summer school, i've been in school since the beginning of july! ugh, i cannot wait to take a break. the apartment hunt has been so far unsuccessful, which is very discouraging. the market is so expensive right now! everything we've seen that's in our price range is disgusting, dirty, and in the basement, and any type of decent living is well over $2,000 a month. ridiculous.

boys, vehicles, and rainy days.

just in case all you women out there were wondering, there are, in fact, caring, honest, and genuine men in the world. don't lose hope :)



i think i may have found a buyer for my car! i bought the thing back in july, and it passed away on me twice, and i just can't handle it anymore. besides, hopefully hunter and i are going to live in the city in the near future, and it would be pointless to have a car while living there. oh well, we've gotta make mistakes in order to learn anything, right?

so, i am declaring, hopefully and confidently, that i am going to be a music major. so much for testing out all of the technical, stiff majors out there. music is what i really love, so why not just dive in head first and shimmy? i don't have anything to lose. on that note, i've decided to start putting myself out there more, here and there, with this whole music thing. [austin nevins, if you are reading this, i would love love LOVE to take guitar lessons from you.. please don't hesitate to offer ;) ] now, i realize that those last two sentences were a bit contradictory, but i'm working on it, i promise :)

xoxox.

oh, p.s. i tried dying my hair blonde tonight, and it literally didn't do anything. nothing at all. nope. comeon, chemicals, do your job!
