Let's track back

(and filter everything negative out, and also most of rehearsals):

I came back from a Brahms rehearsal: 7-10. We stood most of the time. The concert is tomorrow and Sat. Yesterday I cut Ethan's hair. It has three gradients of length: a mullet thing in the middle, his left is shortest, the right is about two inch. Also it was PC appreciation day. Since Angela is lenting, Rosette and Margaret made a vegan cake. I made a card, people signed it.

Saturday after the concert we stayed up watching Troy. Well, I didn't finish (at 5am I went to bed). It's really bad in so many ways, but you get to see most of Brad Pitt (Rosette and Adrienne were especially excited about this).
Friday after the concert...also stayed up, not watching anything. The concert went well, but the Beethoven is just a lot less fun to sing. The orchestra played the 8th, then we came on during intermission, and then most of the 9th was spent listening. But the piece repeats a lot, and when we sing, its really high up, its really loud. But also, its just for BOOM, there's little technical build, so it's less interesting. Also Leon Botstein (pres of the college) is conducting us, and he doesn't really like singers. meh, he moves like a poorly maneuvered puppet (he's conducting the Brahms Requiem too). The Brahms piece on the other hand, the chorus is the point, we have 90 pages of music (compared to 40 in the Beethoven).
tomorrow: "conducted by Leon Botstein, by members of the American Symphony Orchestra, Bard Conservatory Orchestra, Bard College Chamber Singers (James Bagwell, director), Vassar College Choir, and Cappella Festival Chamber Choir (Christine Howlett, director). Soloists: Faylotte Crayton, soprano; and Yohan Yi, bass-baritone."

Monday the 4th I met with Celia Bland (creative non-fiction teacher), we have to meet twice in the semester. She's really intimidating because she just knows so much, and is very intelligent and put together. It was useful (okay: it was a lot less scary than I thought it would be. she said she can always recognize my work as mine. and also to maybe think more about motion.)
Sunday the 3rd at 3 I took photos for The Fashion Committee at Bard in the studio arts building. for like two hours straight. it was really fun though, the models where great, but it was easier for them to be in front of the camera in groups of 5, which was harder for me in terms of making them look good composition wise and facial expression wise. Adrienne, Rosette and I painted our toes and watched Catch Me If You Can.

The 1st there was an April Fools Day Contemporaneous concert with lots of very strange/experimental music. Also everyone was drunk that day, more than one person passed that was being supported by a friend.

on a side note that doesn't make sense in this context: I have really good friends here.

on another side note, there was a thunderstorm and really hard rain, so lots of earthworms came out. I remembered a poem I wrote two years ago. (i mean, by default it's shit, but still, here it is)

Worm

love;
prodding through water logged dirt
segments contracting, extending up
twisting blindly through chill water
oootrying not to suffocate
squirming, as wheels, rolling blackness, pass
oooflattening sections of pink
pointlessly crossing the grainy pavement
trying to burrow toward the other side

where
perhaps
the rain has stopped
