Oh Hey, This Blog

Some things:
Bioinformatics is SURPRISINGLY DIFFICULT. Who could have known? I expected a normal amount of work or less, rather than a music-major proportioned level of effort. The assignments are generally forever-projects. I usually end up working on bioinformatics homework more than I practice in a given week. No activity should ever come close to exceeding my time a the piano, yet here we are, mere hours away from my lesson and I am certainly not prepared.

I decided to run a marathon. Again. Again with the decision, not the actual marathon. This time I hopefully will not get injured. Specifically, I plan on running the Knoxville marathon, which is in April. I have heard rumors that it is a 'long drive' and there is 'much traffic' or some other nonsense, but I will have Craig Deken with me for most of the traveling, so no worries.

Working at Pizza Hut turned out to be unfathomably terrible. I have deduced that the only prerequisite for being hired is to be an awful person, or lacking all forms of intelligence, but generally both. Clearly the only solution is to move to New York, where I have heard there are no Pizza Huts, no cats, and the roads are paved with cheese.

The current thunderstorm lightninged so hard earlier that my smoke detectors went off.

Today was very surreal. To pass my recital and concert attendance I had to sit through five recitals today, for a total of six hours of music. Afterward I played a lot of Super Smash Brothers, and made some awesome brownies for a pot luck tomorrow. Three sentences to cover 17 hours. I guess I did some other things. Read part of this book, Fitzpatrick's War by Theodore Judson. I have read it before, and planned on reading it through every recital, but they like to turn down the lights. Also, some people played legitimately interesting pieces. One girl played La Campanella by Liszt. Her hands looked impossible as they flew over the keys like lightning.
I guess this senior year is over. Too bad I have a few more left. And I will be working at pizza hut for a while, I start on the 10th.
