heitor villa-lobos

today i was browsing at the music store and picked up some compositions by heitor villa-lobos. yes, tarantino fans, i know what you're thinking: "as in ESMERELDA villa-lobos???" well that's what caught my eye in the first place. anyhow here's one of his compositions, impressoes seresteiras.

More Adventurous (under the blacklight)

I, Bunbury, have finally done it. I've applied for study abroad. Here's the plan:

Lebanon over the summer, take intensive Arabic and a politics of the Middle East course.
Find an au pair job in Paris.
Continue studying in Paris over the fall, living with my au pair family and studying French and Political Science.

I'm going to sell my car to buy all my plane tickets and a sweet bike, and I'll be applying for as many scholarships and travel grants as I can find. This has been my dream since the moment I got to college, and I won't put off planning it any longer just because of the cost. If I put energy into it, I can go practically for free. Alicat has been so great encouraging me to quit dragging my feet on this, and she's so glad now that I've started planning it. Six months abroad. Six months abroad...... Six. Months. Abroad.
