to do: post on blog

i don't update this blog nearly enough. but that's because i genuinely don't know what to say... what is blog-worthy, really? i could talk as generally as possible about how my classes are going (which is difficult for me to comprehend, let alone those not obsessed with schenkerian analysis or using augmented sixth chords in the right place), or specifically about the people i'm getting to know (interesting considering the public nature of this thing), or maybe, to continue a theme, which new parts of the city in which i've gotten miserably lost (so many!), or other seemingly notable events. notable? to whom? me? family? friends? random people who don't actually know me? oh bother....

so i'm going to ignore all of the above and share one of my perpetually-posted and compulsively rewritten TO DO lists. all of you who have spent time around me have seen these floating around. it should give you an idea of every day life in london for lindsay, notable or no.

TO DO
-fill out remaining applications for CTY, CCY at wes, senior interviewer, national symphony internship, Boston Symphony internship, and accompanying grants so i don't have to live in a box BEFORE i graduate
-practice bach d minor and barber for lesson tomorrow! then practice it for another few hours!
-buy proper shoes for hip hop class before thursday--and ask sabina about how to sign up
-get tickets to visit Hansel in oxford on friday
-start researching for paper on recorded music vs. film, and start analyzing berg's altenburg lieder. and the schubert harmonization. and ahhh.
-plan travels to morocco, germany, switzerland, rome, paris, egypt, and many others. not in that order.
-find new market at which to buy bananas and another cheese i've never heard of
-top up phone

there. for now i think i'm going to go cross a few of those off the list. for later, i promise more compelling accounts of my actually very exciting and inspiring time over here.

still much love from a still very rainy london...
