Spring Flung

The next weekend was spring fling. During the day we had choral rehearsal. I said to Ben “tomorrow everyone is going to be so hung-over” and then realized I was being naïve, and that people were already drinking during rehearsal.    

That night I drank too much on an empty stomach while coming down with a cold and after having had dizzy spells from low blood pressure all week. Turned out to be a bad idea and I woke up at 5am to the question “do you know where you are” to which I responded “yes” but they told me I was at the hospital anyway. Amanda came with me in the ambulance but I don’t remember. In the morning I had to meet with the Dean of Student Affairs. Bianca came and Shinno too - with pretzels. It was interesting to see how information traveled. Kelsey and Megan didn’t know until I told them.  A whole bunch of people I never talk to asked me how I was doing. Also my friends’ responses reinforced what I already knew about them – some good, some bad. I felt bad for making people worry, either way.

“You sound good, but you look hung-over. Y’all better get over that real quick” said James before the concert that night.

Schaffe in mir - Brahms

Anthony O'Daly - Barber

The Coolin - Barber

Sucepit Israel - Bach

Sicut locutus Est - Bach

Die Mit Tranen - Schutz 

God is our Refuge - Mozart 

Os Iusti - Bruckner 

Psalm - Ives

After that I went out again to the block party and danced with various friend groups. Even though they tried to keep strangers out, there were still quite a few high-schoolers and very grabby 30-somethings there, but otherwise it was fun. Later went with Megan and a couple others down to the waterfall. It was incredibly chill; a bonfire, people talking, the bubbling of the water. I fell asleep at 3am, content.
