March Madness

It's March and I only posted about five times in the beginning of February. You can imagine I'm up to some no good. :) Week 2 of February was a great weekend of Chinese New Year's, Valentine's Day (which I did nothing for) and the start of my February break. I spent most of it in Harlem, having adventures, and being snowed in with the occasional trip home. Right after break ended (of course), I started getting serious audition panic, so there was a lot of practicing and small rewards. One of those was some serious food fest. There was takoyaki, yakisoba, pigs feet, cream croquettes, butter mushrooms, and I think we got something else too, but it was followed by a three course dessert at Cha-An, which oh, did I mention it's my fav. place in the city?

Actually, my audition was yesterday. It was probably the fastest 7 minutes of my life. Even though I didn't play every note perfectly in place (Maybe I missed a trill or a note in a run somewhere...like those parallel fourths in the Chopin 1st movement? So likely.) I think it was important that I showed that I had FUN and that I enjoyed playing, which I believe I did. Is it enough to get me into school? I don't know, I feel like it's extremely political and for once, life's NOT fair. Even if I played my best I might not have gotten in. Who knows. I came home and slept for another hour before going out adventuring in the city again. When I woke up, it was a brand new day and my audition was over. I even came back and practiced Chopin 4th movement out of the sheer joy of it somewhere around 11:30 at night. Word.

I'm weirdly anxious and bouncy today, even though my audition is over. I didn't sleep until 4:30 but woke up at 7:30, then 10:30, extremely eager to start the day. Currently, my hands have this gorgeous gold nail polish...then they're dyed green on the fingers. I was working on dying a wig in fabric dye last night till about 2:30, for a costume party Jean-Paul and I are going to tonight. It's going to be all out body paint on our parts, and since I'm the one that draws, I'm already up, ready, and planning how this paint dealie-o is going to work. Perhaps updates on paint as I get it going? In a half hour I'll be starting mine, and mixing up some gold so woooo to that. I should probably find some anime to watch to make the day go a little faster.
