I've had a ton of shit happen since i last posted to a Pubski.

I've added a second day of teaching to my private lessons, and now have a cello student in addition to all of the voice and guitar students. I also have a 4 year old, who's a total cutie patootie, but is super super shy.

The restaurant I work at was closing, then it wasn't, then it was being sold, then it wasn't. I basically just show up for the soap opera these days. We're now officially on Cook number 6 since I started in may. Chef number 4 is still around, but not for long. gave his notice a week ago, i think? Aside from the other dishwasher, who'se been there for three years, I'm the senior kitchen staff. I trained chef number 6.

What a shit show that is.

I'm talking to the woman whom I hope will be able to supervise my doctorate. Things are great, but the problem is (aside from asking her to do so) I don't know for sure if the university will allow her to do it. She's got a Doctorate, but it's not in musicology, even though she's one of the foremost early bass scholars. I guess we'll see.

I'm currently writing an article about a piece, under her recommendation and as padding for my resume/ for doctoral applications. Basically this piece is labelled as one thing, for certain instruments, and as composed by one person, when really none of those things are true - and there are some people I can blame for it. I'm pretty stoked.
