My Plan is Working Perfectly

Got back to my apartment today after five days of secret music writing.  Checked to see if there was a letter from student housing, but then I laughed and realized how silly I must look actually thinking that there was even a chance such a thing would be in my mailbox.  I have a better chance, I know, of reaching in and pulling out magic unicorn dust.

So I'll call tomorrow.  Again.  Hopefully I'll talk with a really nice person who will then transfer me to another really nice person who will then transfer me the answering machine of the great abyss.  And then I'll send an e-mail, because I really enjoy acts of futility.  They make me smile.

In my five days away I managed to write more reasonably acceptable music than I have ever done before in such a short period... something close to thirty minutes.  Top secret project POWER is now at 90% of phase one completion.  It's amazing what you can do when you literally aren't doing anything else other than eating, sleeping, and going for a run every day.  It actually makes me sad because I realize how much of my time is utterly wasted by my attempts to multitask or procrastinate.  But then I remember that if I did actually practice hyperfocus at all times I:

1.  Wouldn't be a very fun person.  (I'm not saying I am a fun person, but that would certainly take my fun factor to zero.)

and

2.  Wouldn't have most of my always amazing friends.  So many chance encounters while doing random things- wandering through halls, showing up at tryouts for a play, making cookies, etc...  have led to wonderful friendships.  The kind of friends who would come visit me even if all I had to offer was the floor in a tent.  Which is probably what's going to happen next year.  So that's good.
