Two weeks to NY! Less, actually!

We got our itineraries today. Happily, the plan of masterclasses with Julliard instructors has gone the way of the dodo. It would have scared me shitless. Getting the itinerary was exciting - lots of touring, a midnight cruise after our concert (it ends at 2 am!), staying at the Grand Hyatt which is located right above Grand Central Station!

It makes my quarter of hell just about worth it. I have a 10 page paper due on Monday. 6 page paper (haven't started it) due on Tuesday. Another 6 page paper due on Thursday. Violin lesson Tuesday. Violin performance Thursday. And after all that, I have to write another paper before next Thursday, when we leave for NY, because it's due the day after we get back. I mean, that's just superhuman. I honestly don't know how I'm going to do it. I wish my violin teacher was a little more understanding, she snapped at me for not playing in the performance this Thursday: "I take it your schoolwork is more important." I mean, what am I supposed to do, not sleep or eat? Don't answer that.

So, oh my god, I better get cracking. But first, it is so odd how my appearance changes. Just a couple minutes ago, I looked in the mirror and thought "Hmm. I look relatively nice! Glittering eyes, glowing skin, nice smile." And yet this morning I looking in the mirror and thought "Oh holy crap. Pale, sickly skin, acne, big undereye circles, fat face... I look like a disaster!" What is up with that? Liz noticed it for herself, too... hmm, possibly the lighting. Hmm. But problem is I would like to look the way I do now when I go to school in the morning.
