Continuing on with my new years resolution (Do something each month that I've always wanted to do but have never done before)....
February - I will be going to a psychic!!!
Unfortunately, I called to book my appointment with one of the top rated psychic's in Manhattan early in February and was unable to schedule anything until March 10th! I had no idea he was in such high demand.
I'm sure this will be an adventure. So, February will be a few weeks late but it will still happen!!

Past the Halfway Mark...
Spring 2010 means that I'm over half way done with my Master's which is so exciting!! The semester has started again and I'm taking 2 really interesting classes: Social Entrepreneurship and Creative Arts, Cultural Workers & the Vitality of Cities. One is about how to be innovative and make significant global impact, and the other is about looking at the arts in cities through an archeological lens. I'm looking forward to learning more despite crazy amounts of work.
2 new updates in musical news:
I'm sharing the first chair position in the South Shore Symphony for our upcoming concert SATURDAY MARCH 20, 2010 8PM (http://www.sssymphony.org/). Our program has amazing horn parts and I've been practicing my tail off for the concert. It's so gratifying to play pieces that I studied during my time as an undergraduate. I finally feel like a "real musician" in my own amateur, semi-professional way.
It's Complicated (the movie starring Alec Baldwin/Meryl Streep/Steve Martin) was out this holiday season and I waited on the edge of my seat to see if the footage of me (playing in a wind ensemble) made it to the final cut -- it didn't! We're on the screen for a brief second and that's it. The movie is great regardless and I recommend it with two thumbs up. When it comes out on DVD I will pause and zoom in to see myself up close on the "big screen."
A few weeks ago, I went with my dad to see West Side Story on Broadway - we went out for drinks and dinner and then to the show. It was my holiday present to my dad and something I was really looking forward to. Growing up, every Saturday was a "daddy date" - a day where me and my dad would head off and do fun things (like go to a museum, amusement park, movie, etc.) and run errands. My mom would have the day off to relax. Those were some of my favorite childhood memories. I didn't know it at the time but those "dates" were the reason my dad and I are so close. I can talk to my dad about anything and I value his honest opinions, life experience, stories, and advice. Having an adult daddy date was really special - we talked about college, work, dating, growing up, and life in general. I am so lucky to have such a great relationship with my dad and I think that now we will make more of an effort to keep the "daddy date" tradition alive.
