mystereys's Journal: I got a FEVER! And the perscription is...

Wow, I haven't posted here in a long time. Since my last post, I've finished all my grad school apps. I actually finished them back before the Xmas season. I didn't quite reach the Dec 1st deadline I had set for myself, but I easily finished them all at least a month before their due dates. Of all the schools I applied to, I've only heard back from one school to tell me they received my application. Coincidentally, that was the school that was probably the least, erm, "reknowned" of all the schools I applied to. Anyways, most of the schools said they're not going to be sending out recognition of receipt emails or postcards or anything. Now, I just have to wait for 3+ months until I hear back from all the schools and fellowships. *crosses fingers*

Now, I'm looking forward to playing my first show with my band, in a little over a month (feb 17th, IIRC. It's in my palm.). I play violin and keyboards, and besides me, there's a cellist, a drummer, a guitarist and a bassist. We have a really nice, indie/post-rock sound, kind of along the lines of Belle and Sebastian and Interpol. The guitarist does most of the singing, but I've been meaning to write songs that I can sing on too. If we had a website up & running, I'd direct you to it, but it's still in the planning stage.

Anywoo, I'm feeling mighty feverish, and I think I need a little more cowbell. I took my temp twice since I've gotten home, and it was higher each time. I'd take it right now, and post the result, but I just had some tea a little while ago, so the value would likely be off. Depending on how I am in a little while, I might send mr. mystereys (the good soul that he is) off to get me some tylenol pm or something. We have advil, but it's a little rough on the stomach, and I'm feeling a touch on the queasy side.

Anyways, I'm sure you've enjoyed reading these tales from a total stranger. I'm going now. Really. Before my brain fries. Later!
