hello city!

as i waist the last half hour of my bostonian stay, i find myself with absolutely nothing to do. so, because i have 6 hours and 11 minutes to think, read, and write on my way home, i figure right now i will post something to keep my blog from becoming obsolete. which it basically is anyway, but let's not go into that, shall we?
First of all, I highly recommend Boston. It's an awesome place. I'm very much enamored of fire escapes and alleys, especially when combined. This is probably why I like Iain's window so much, as it has a view of both these elements. Yesterday in my lonely wanderings around New England Conservatory of Music, (NEC)i found my very favorite fire escape. It's on the side of the YMCA, and I think I would go to NEC just so I could look at that fire escape every day. I also walked down Public Alley No. 810, and I managed to escape the muggers.
Anyway, Boston is a beautiful place. I love being on spring break. I also love the fact that when I get home, I still have 4 days of break to be crazy with my buddies. I am such an awesome travel planner. I think I'll do it for a living someday when I fail at music.
So I think blogs are dumb. I don't know why I have this.
OOH! Iain and I stayed up all night in shifts waiting for Radiohead tickets to go on sale, and we got them! I'm very happy. He did most of the awake part, but that's because he had work he had to do. But I'm a happy person.
That's more than anyone needs and wants to know about my life. Goodbye. Enjoy yourselves.

For those of you who aren't on Facebook...

Happy March! It's so beautiful to be in Ojai in springtime.

Here are pictures of my two most prized possessions.





My Pernambuco tree, c/o Peter.













My viola. That's Abby's violin with it. See if you can figure out which one's which.










I love you guys. Eat pizza.

wow, i forgot about this thing...

Hm. I just remembered about this as I was practicing.
Which, by the way, is all I do these days.
Life according to Sheila:
Get up, eat, school, eat, practice, school, go home, practice, eat, practice, sleep. Start again. Not too enthralling. I hang out with people occasionally. Right now we're on break all week long, which rocks because you get to cut out the getting up and school part of that schedule and add in some more hanging out with people. And going to art museums. And maybe some beach if the weather clears up. And a whole lot of practicing.
Which reminds me: I'm throwing together a recital for hopefully the weekend of may 16th. I'm trying to get the church right now for may 18th in the afternoon. Hoping really hard... Anyway, you're all welcome to come to that, but I'm also seriously doubting anyone will. Except maybe Michelle?? (please!) I'll be playing Bach second Suite, (Prelude, Sarabande, and Gigue), Brahms Viola Sonata #2 in Eb major, Sibelius Rhondo, Bruch Romanze for the Viola, and Walton Viola concerto movements I and II. I'll probably throw in a few things here and there, but that's all I have planned right now. It'll be pretty cool. I have a LOT of work to do, though. Pretty much, if anyone's interested in a good time, a big party, some (hopefully) beautiful music, and lots of good friends, they should come here for that weekend. It'll rock.
Hmmm. What else? I'm wearing socks. Be proud, y'all.
Smoothies are great, Rabic is cool. My name is Sheila, and I think you rule.
The End. Happy Dead Leaders of our Country Week!
