Music: Matchbox 20 yourself or someone like you
Reading: Woolf Mrs. Dalloway, Plotinus "On the Intellectual Beauty," Aquinas Summa Theologica, Dante "Letter to Can Grande Della Scala," Dickens Our Mutual Friend
Current stress level (scale of 1-10): 8.5
Good things that happened today:
1. Got home from the trip from semi-hell. (Yeah, that's why I haven't been posting...)
2. Talked to Jason.
3. SANG. OMG I SANG. See, my dorm has a choral group this quarter, and our first meeting was today. There are just four of us. We talked a lot, and started working on Mozart's Ave Verum Corpus (K 618). And OH MY GOD. I had absolutely forgotten the pure joy of making music, of hitting those beautiful chords at the ends of lines, of using my voice to work with others to create something lovely. I missed that SO MUCH. I absolutely HAVE to find a chorus to work with when I can't be a part of this one anymore. I don't think that I could give it up again. My day was on the bad side of mediocre mostly, but that is that ray of sunshine for today that makes everything else that was crappy fade into diminished significance when I think about it.
4. Dat just swung by. Couldn't talk much (I have to go to bed like 20 minutes ago), but it was good to see him.
