So all things come to a close

Effectively, my spring break is over. Technically, I have a few days left, but I need to leave tomorrow. For a quick review:

• I worked on my cooking abilities, which will be sorely needed sooner than later.
• I didn’t practice as much as I should have.
• I didn’t really get any composing done. Shame.
• I didn’t get any modeling done, either (I have an excuse here, though. Blender+Laptop is not the best environment).
• Some home and lab work got done. Finished The Autobiography of Malcolm X, an interesting work for my religion class that reinforces the Batman hypothesis (you either die the hero or live long enough to become the villain, where Malcolm dies the hero).
• Spent time with family.
• Saw some Shakespeare. Very intimate production by the Seattle Shakespeare Company, very well done: I only wish that I hadn’t known the twist in the plot, which would have raised the suspense at least a few notches.
• Almost done with final REU statement. Really, editing it now. Amazing how procrastination works.
• Did NOT finish the two books. Got halfway through both Reading Like a Writer and The Rest was Noise, the first of which is enlightening with regards to reading (this one makes me want to become a (better) writer, which is terrible considering just how many things I’m still trying to focus on simultaneously), and the second with regards to modern music history. I will definitely either have to steal them or finish them later.

And so the world turns…
