Game on this week. Fulbright is due on Thursday, same with assignments and playing responsibilities this weekend, and guest artists in town this weekend. Monday brings interviews for Fulbright, and what I'm really worried about is making sure my transcripts get there in time. Also time to start getting stuff together for PhD applications. Holy Crap.

Nothing blasting a little trad music won't solve.

Sometimes I think grad school is like climbing a mountain with your eyes fixed on your feet. You're only concerned with not falling down, making it over that little rock, up that 20 ft climb, and occasionally you get a glimpse of the bigger picture. And suddenly one day you look up, and you've got this amazing view that you've worked your ass off for, and while it's not going to buy you a mansion, no one can ever take it away from you. I just hope I don't fall off and go splat.

Completely and utterly nervous about the interview on Monday. I know about Irish traditional music. I know what it means to me personally and I know about its history and place in society in Ireland. What I don't know is if I'll go into babble mode.

Have to get back to work, but........Game on.

Peace, love, and tunes,

Mac.
