run away for a few days without telling anybody
sounds like fun 10 months ago

I think I’m going to do this soon, right after New Year’s cellebration. I WILL tell my parents I’m leaving, otherwise they will think I’ve been kidnapped or lie dead in some ditch, which would be very cruel to them. Especially since I want to be gone for a week or so. But I won’t tell them where I’m going (heck, I’m not even sure).

The thing I’m most looking forward to is seeing a real starry sky. I seldom leave the city and I cherish the few times I’ve been able to lie on the grass and look at the beautiful Milky Way…

I think I’m going to surprise a couple of university friends who live in other towns (which are pretty far away, mind you) and went there for the holidays, by dropping by.

The only thing that will hurt is my pocket, since I’m going to have to pay for everything… but, hey. :-)



Learn to play keyboard
Better than nothing 10 months ago

I regret that my love for instrumental music didn’t come in my childhood, but it’s better late than never. I can hardly hit the right notes on my keyboard. My goal is to learn to play Liszt’s Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2 perfectly by the end of this year.

I’m kidding. But I’d like to play at least some simple pieces.



Listen to more classical music
Organizing my listening 10 months ago

For a year or so my love for classical music has grown. Now the great majority of the music I listen to is classical. However, my listening has always been unorganized.

I got a great idea from a poster in this site. She listened to a composer a month, so I’ll be doing more or less the same. Of course that doesn’t mean that I can’t listen to works by other composers, but I’ll focus on that particular composer.

I wanted to randomize it, so I put the names of many composers (58 to be exact) in papers in a bag. I took them out one by one and assigned each consecutive composer to a month.

This is what I got:

January: Paganini
February: Mahler
March: Weber
April: Mussorgsky
May: Händel
June: Ives
July: Dvořák
August: Fauré
September: Richard Strauss
October: Holst
November: Liszt
December: Webern

I’m looking forward to it!
