This summer started with a bang but, as with most bangs, it had to fizzle out. After having studied for almost seven semesters with no break I am starting to realise why hardly anyone does the 'eight straight' approach. In fact, I'm tempted to thing I almost burnt out in my first semester here out of sheer excitement at being able to study at Berklee. But each semester I experience a slump in energy about 2 weeks in, a slump that reappears and grows slightly with each passing period.
It is for this reason that I'm glad that I only have one more semester to go; this school may be wonderful, but it sure does take it out of you. My ability to keep up with blogs, vlogs, updates, etc, suffers periodically but I want you to know that I think about you all every day - missing a blog or a video throws me off, but I'm reestablishing a pattern of work that should tide me over until the end of the semester when I can take a much needed break.
My future is starting to take shape. I'm working on applying for an artist visa so I can stay in the USA as a performing artist, an effort that will fast consume my time but will allow me to do the things I love and support myself at the same time.
And now, onto much, much more exciting things! I have always been a fan of international football, and I vividly remember watching my first World Cup in 1994. Ever since then I find myself unable to do anything but go completely football mad every four years, and this year has been no exception. Yesterday I watched history unfold as Spain played in their first World Cup final and won. I was overjoyed, as were the other 100 Spaniards and Latinos in the room with me. Long live psychic cephalopods.
