I really hate

this unsettling feeling

in my stomach.

I want to know what comes next.

So I haven't really given a full update in a while. Tonight seems to be the night to do that, even though I should be getting to bed soon. For Erin and I are embarking in a journey tomorrow to find some thrift furniture store somewhere out east. I'm down to my last few pennies, which is pressuring me to finding a job relatively soon. At least I'm trying.

Being unemployed has influenced me to start writing again. I'm refreshing my knowledge on music theory so I can start writing music. I've played the violin since 3rd grade, but only learned to read music about three years ago. Sad, yes, but at least it happened. I really want to

write and play on the piano. I have always been in love with the sweet sound of jazz and soul and I would kill to be playing that right now. I'd also love to be packing for tour right now, but I'm stuck another semester at Old Westbury. Looks like I'll be hitting the road come summer now, which sucks. Long Island is a really boring place, if you ask me.

Kinda legit photo, except when I edit on my sister's Macbook and then transfer it to my trusty PC. The quality is totally butchered!

Happy December! It's officially the best time of the year. Sweet jazz music in the city, hot chocolate by the fire, Christmas tree decorating...And of course: Funny Christmas hats! I am overly excited to start buying gifts and wrapping them and putting them underneath the tree. It is definitely my favorite time of the year. I decorated my tree last night with Jon. I made him wear a funny Christmas hat, too.

I never really enjoy receiving gifts for Christmas. I love giving gifts to my family and friends the most. I have a fond memory of Christmas, and that is waking up to a fresh coat of snow on the ground outside. It brings me back to my childhood memories. That, and gingerbread houses. I am going to master that this year!

I am currently on the phone with Rich trying to explain what a Chelsea Grin is. Speaking of Chelsea Grin, they were in town last night, which excited me very much. I left class about a half hour early and headed over to Rockville Centre to only hang out in the van for most of the night. The show was long...For some reason, Long Islanders enjoy putting five locals on the bill, followed by the tour package.After the show, we headed back to my house to drop off the van and then went for some well deserved Taco Bell. Finally we called it a night and the boys showered and we passed out. Somehow I made it to class this morning, but I really wish I could have spent a few more hours with them.

I'm going to keep this short and sweet for now. Perhaps I'll take a nap and re-update later.
