So, craziness up in Vermont, and I'm not just talking about the weather (although it is freakishly warm out). Between academics (dear Lord my writing requirement deadline is coming up aaaahhhh), extracurriculars (three concerts to sing this upcoming week), and surviving school (quite literally; apart from my lack of sleep, I was in a car accident about a week ago. Noone was hurt, and everything's fine, but I'm still kinda shaky about it), I'm managing for the moment to keep just enough of my head above water that i'm not choking too hard. One of the high points of next week will be auditions for next term's play, part I of Angels in America. it looks like a lot of fun, and I hope i make it in.

Today was AIDS Remembrance Day, and I spent a lot of time just sitting and thinking about an old friend from a long time ago. He was an inspiration, providing me with an example of how I wanted to live my life and how good ordinary people can be.

Thanks, Gary. I miss you.
