Week in Review
What a great spring break week. It was very different than my normal weeks here at school (especially since I spent very limited amounts of time online since I didn't have my computer) so here's my week in review.
-Friday 3/7 - I flew out of Cleveland just as the biggest snow storm of the year began. I actually landed in New Haven 20 minutes ahead of schedule; it was the first time my flight has ever been on time. The airline lost my baggage, however I had gotten it back the next morning. I spent my evening with Caitlin C. and Hanna N. at the WSIN radio station, having a good time talking and looking through the CD collection.
-Saturday 3/8 - My day started off with Africa practice. After practicing and realizing we still had some time to kill, Lewis, Sasso, and me went to Guitar Center and jammed on some synths for about an hour. Afterwards we went off to play our show at Toad's Place. It was an awesome show even though the PA kept breaking, but I'd like to think we still sounded good.
-Sunday 3/9 - Food day. I had Pepe's pizza and Dunkin' Donuts. Welcome to New England.
-Monday 3/10 - Continued to have left over pizza and donuts and read books all day.
-Tuesday 3/11 - Visited Zack R. at WNHU and hung out with him during his live show. Took some photos of him that will hopefully make good portraits. I also learned about Seth Godin's summer internship in New York and started creating my 'resume' for it.
-Wednesday 3/12 - More portrait photography, this time of my father in his new military uniform. Zack and I also discussed the possibility of creating a viral website to market something...
-Thursday 3/13 - Went out to breakfast with Hope S., Adam S., Arielle S., and Amber M. Afterwards I visited Zack at the station again to take more photos of him and Steve J. for their phone interview with Shirley Phelps (photo from that session above). That evening I went out with friends to Buffalo Wild Wings for $.50 boneless Thursdays where we ate good food and rocked at the trivia game. Afterwards Adam S. and I went to Miss JFHS but were late and ended up only catching the end of it. Afterwards I went out to Friendly's with a few people from the show and after that to Mike B.'s for some Super Smash Brawl fun with Mike B., Adam S., Mike C., Andy R., and Joe E.
-Friday 3/14 - Happy Pi Day! I started my afternoon with the final portrait shoot of the week with Zack around the UNH campus. I'm really happy with the results I got. That evening Michelle G., Amanda R., and I went to see the Foran and Law Jazz bands compete at Norwalk. They both did great jobs. However, because we arrived at Norwalk so early, we decided to stop in Stew Leonards to see the singing cows and other animatronics because Michelle had never been.
-Saturday 3/15 - This was my ultimate lazy day for the week. I watched 16 episodes from the first season of Scrubs while packing my bags.
-Sunday 3/16 - The trip back to Cleveland. As I was about to go through the security checkpoint, I saw Paul S. and his father. It turns out we were not only on the same flight but seated across the aisle from each other as well. Good times. We got delayed by about 30 minutes in Philly, but met a gentleman who works for Conn-Selmer in Eastlake, OH. He told us all about how brass instruments are made and it was really interesting. Later that night back at Case, we had Chicago pit rehearsal. I swear, we have the most poorly written out music parts I have ever seen. Things jump around across pages and the conductor's score is of little help. My piano book is also missing solos.
Overall, I really enjoyed this break. I got to see a lot of people I wanted to and generally had a great time. It was also nice to detach myself from email and the internet and be able to concentrate more on other things like reading and photography. The break was too short however, only being a tease of the long summer break that is only a few weeks away.
