As if the title of this post doesn't say it all, but I spent the day almost doing nothing. Well... not exactly true, because I am writing this blog post at the moment, but I really didn't do much. Not to say that this has been a horrible day. It's actually quite lovely since Thursdays are my long days on campus and I feel quite guilt free being unproductive on Fridays. Nonetheless, I did do some things, albeit nothing too strenuous or anything that required much effort. For example, I sat in front of my piano and taught myself the score for the french film Le Fabuleux Destin d'Amélie Poulain, better known as Amelie for English speaking viewers. Composed by Yann Tiersen, a lot of the music were actually featured in his own albums prior to the release of Amelie and the new compositions featured in consequent albums. I love the modern feel of the score juxtaposed with traditional instruments, which is exactly what I believe Tiersen excels in. I also managed to brew 2 pots of tea, but really, I can do that with my eyes closed half awake at four in the morning.
In other news, I received some wonderful ones this week actually. My Modern Art History professor returned my analysis paper on Picasso and I received nothing but wonderful praises from her. This was massively good news to me because it only affirmed that I'm going down the right path and have made the correct choice in terms of my career. Secondly, my cousin informed me of a week long visit from her in December and I really couldn't be more excited! I've begun to plan what we'll be doing and what we'll be eating. Suffice it to say I'm taking this opportunity to visit as many tea shops as possible as well as getting some creative Christmas shopping done. Third, I've just found out that Addams Family the Musical will be playing in Chicago whilst I'm there for my winter holidays. I've been wanting to see this production for a very long time but just haven't found the time (or money more importantly) to fly myself to New York to see it. Rest assured, even if I have to trudge through a blizzard in freezing temperatures to see this, I will most definitely be watching it this coming December. Lastly, I will begin featuring more art & theatre related posts on here in the next coming weeks. It's an exciting project and I'm really looking forward to it.
Anyway, I've been pretty absent from the blogging world the past week and will be the next week because it is mid term (half term without the holiday, just assessments), which means essays, exams, and deadlines to be met. So for now, have a lovely weekend. If I manage to survive my most intensive midterms in about 10yrs.... then I'll be back. xx
