I joined the first sports club I have ever been a part of in my life. I had a huge amount of fun today and I was doing a sport, I never do sports, but this isn't just any sport, this is fencing. I expect to be very busy this year, in addition to writing my dissertation and taking my final courses for my degree I am also playing a lead role in an opera, taking Italian, and fencing. I figured the Italian would be good since the opera (which is over 3 hours) is in Italian, and well, I need to do some sort of exercise, and I've always wanted to play with swords.

I'm about to turn in my application for grad school. That's making me stressed. I am so worried about my damn personal statement, and then if I do get an audition, I am really worried about making sure I pick the right audition pieces as well as the fact that I'm pretty sure I need to learn some new ones and I'm worried about if I can do that in time.

Otherwise, I'm alive, and poking people with pointy objects, and am generally fairly happy.
