A New Semester Dawns


The Hartt School

As I finally got around to updating my website and this blog, I was reminded of a particular xkcd comic about “the least interesting man in the world,” a spinoff, of course, on the Dos Equis commericials about “the most interesting person in the world.”  (The poor guy in the xkcd comic only has a few posts in his blog, all of which are apologies for not writing more.)

But I digress...

Tomorrow, my first semester at the Hartt School begins, as does my career as a graduate student.  To (under)state the obvious, this is a pivotal moment in my life.  I have chosen to follow my passion for music, leaving behind—for now, at least—the relative security of following my other passion, physics.  To be sure, I am not committing myself exclusively to music for the rest of my life; nevertheless, I am following a trickier path to success.
