"You can really be in a state of constant mourning if you hold onto your ideas." -Andrew Bird

It was three fifty-six as I walked up to room 121 of the Jesse Knight Building, after a long day of music, science, and psychological experiments. I had greatly anticipated this moment every since I saw the flyer at the Humanities showcase almost two weeks ago. It was one of the first appointments I had written down in my brand new Freshman Orientation specialized planner. No one was outside the door. I tentatively pulled on the handle and peered down the aisle toward the front of the room. There seated in the first row were three students, two plain looking Caucasian girls and one skinny boy sitting up quite straight with dark spiked hair. Sitting at a table in front was a fiftysomething year old woman with soft white hair, leaning over a stack of old books looking bored. I walked up to the front of the room asking if this was, indeed, Spanish Choir. "Yep!" answered the smiley boy. He introduced himself as Jonathon, and the girl sitting next to him with a complicated purple design on her skirt told me her name was Johanna. "I'm Claire," I responded. The professor studied me a minute and asked if I spoke Spanish. I told her I had taken a few years in high school. "Are you majoring in it?" asked Johanna.

"No," I answered, "I just don't want to lose my Spanish, and I thought this would be fun."

"Yeah, I'm majoring in Spanish, and I just happened to walk by and see that this was going on."

"Yeah, I just happened to be on campus.."

The professor sighed.

"Well, this isn't going to work. We are going to need at least eighteen to twenty people for this to be a real class."

I must've looked alarmed.

"Can we make it a class?" I asked hastily.

The second Caucasian girl at the end of the row looked over at me with a strange look on her face.

The professor looked skeptical of the whole situation. "No, I don't think that's going to work."

The German choir next door trudged through the middle section of "Die Wollust En Den Maeien", a piece my chamber choir had disdained in high school.

The narrative ends here. Basically, there's no Spanish Choir.

cuando llega, ya se ha ido

I don't do too much gambling these days.

The latest social experiments:

"Did you bedazzle that yourself?"

"Hey, how's it goin'! John, right? No?"

"I'm majoring in home ec with a minor in knitting."

"Are you in that one youtube video with the chocolate cake and the high chair? Wasn't that you?"

duchamp would be proud?

Upon doing random google image searches for different kinds of flowers, I discovered this pleasant artwork by Clark Sorensen, actually a Utah native (that went to U of U...). I will forgive him though, since his floral urinals are quite aesthetically pleasing. If I had thousands of dollars to spare, I would consider buying the orange California poppy sink. With the pedestal.

zach codon and beirut: the endless fascination

I would like to find the piano chords to this song, I would like to play more instruments, I would like to be best friends with Zach Codon.

I think if I were taking less credits this semester I would attempt to learn French and to play the ukelele.
