Wow, they weren't kidding when they told me that it's really difficult to get back into studying after college. As you can see by my new count-downs, the GREs are quickly approaching and to say that my test anxiety is at a high would be an understatement. I'm taking the necessary precautions such as no partying, no distracting people (this one isn't working out so well), and many vitamins. Of course I understand that it's impossible for me to study 24/7 (I do have a part time position after all), however I have been feeling as if there aren't enough hours in the dat lately. I find that my stress level decreases if I hit the books for at least 3 hours a day, so sticking to this method for the next three weeks is absolutely essential for success. I can't wait until this is over and the most important thing to worry about will be getting out of Connecticut.
With all of that said, this past week was the busiest I have experienced in quite some time. SPIN is wonderful but there is more than enough work in that office to keep this girl on her toes. We had a large event at the office this week called SPIN House Live! It was essentially a roof top party with about 300 VIPs/Press/Hipsters/Fashionistas/Fellow music junkies along with the band "The Rapture" (they put on a great show, I'm listening to "In The Grace Of Your Love " right now.) I got to play bar-back during the first hour and work the door as everyone was leaving. It was overall an enjoyable experience.
I have found that being around all of this music has inspired me to write more of my own. I have been touching up a few of my old songs as well as writing a few new ones. There are currently six that I would feel comfortable performing...if only I had a rock band. I have decided that after my exams, I'm going to finally put this macbook pro to work and begin recording. If I have a decent demo with enough of a back up chord structure in my tunes, I can send it over to one of my many talented, guitar playing friends to fill in the blanks. I want to begin performing again and this is the only way I can see myself going about it. Anyways, it's time to get myself out of this Starbucks and back home to feed my insatiable mind with the knowledge that it craves (...right.) I wish I could play in the sun.
