Oops...

Welp. It's been a while. The blogless days turned into weeks and I just kept pushing this thing out of my mind. A few hours ago, my dad drove me into Manhattan to catch the bus that I'm currently riding on, and he mentioned that I hadn't blogged in a while. I got busted not keeping up with my New Year's resolution! #embarrassing

It's nice to know that someone is reading this.

I turn 21 in five days. I'm excited to spend my birthday with most of my favorite people. I'm so lucky! I have the best family and friends. My roommates have some plans that they're keeping under wraps. It should be a really great weekend. I have a long week of school ahead of me but I think I'll be able to get through it looking forward to Friday. I can't wait to casually drink wine at restaurants and buy beer at the corner stores in North Philly! Woohoo!

So I wrote all of that yesterday and didn't post it because I felt like I had more to say.  I'M GOING TO ECUADOR! For the first two weeks of July, I'll be in Quito working with children. I need to learn all the Ecuadorian folk/children's songs that exist between now and then! I'm really excited. I've wanted to do a trip like this for a long time. I'm a little bit nervous and I don't really know what to expect, but I know it will be a really good experience. July can't come soon enough!

Music has been a wonderful thing in my life lately. I have been listening to some new stuff, having productive practice time, and learning a lot about music therapy with the population I'm working with for fieldwork. It's been an inspiring semester.

LET ME GO HOME!

Music therapy is cool.
