So I have been under the weather for way too long these days. It has been 1 1/2 weeks of sickness for me, and I have had enough. In that time, I have not been able to get out of my room as much as I have wanted. Besides working for Shakespeare and Chinese class, I have been active in Keble's Choir and the Oxford Art Movement. The art club meets in Christ Church College (which is expansive and impressively beautiful). I did a color pencil sketch of a painting by Egon Schiele. I am going to try and see if any of his drawings or paintings are in London, because the stuff I saw of his in books is staggering. It just knocks me off my feet. Anyways, I think I am going to try and scale back Choir involvement a bit, and try and travel between class sessions during the week. I want to get out of this cursed house. On a positive note, it has been an AMAZING week for me in terms of music to listen to. I have been exchanging tons of music with friends, and here is my list of things everyone in the world should hear:
The Goat Rodeo Sessions: Yo-Yo Ma, Edgar Myer, and others
The National: The Boxer
Joanna Newsom: Have One on Me
The Raconteurs
