Day 18

Woo day off! Nothing like having one day of class and then a day to recuperate! But don't worry, there wasn't too much realization going on. After waiting for the painters to come (yeah no more mold in THIS guy's bathroom), I went to the library to do some score studying. Since I am thinking about writing a string quartet, I was looking mostly at Debussy's Quartet in G, Ravel's Quartet in F, Philip Glass's 4th Quartet, and Lutoslawski's Quartet. Such great music. Ironically, I always feel less like writing after a day of hard studying like today, but it is good for the mind I guess. Afterwards, I found an empty room (right?) and tried to get something on paper for my lesson on Thursday. I managed to scribble out about 8 bars of half baked pseudo-post-minimilist nonsense that I wasn't really happy with, but at least they were dots on a page haha.

Later, we went to the Melkweg for AHK's Vers Party. Wow, what an awesome time! Good music, good club, good vibe. Just all around good fun :) Can't wait to do it again!
