kyrasantae | "Operation: Homecoming" update (Reply)

I handed in the set of completed paperwork today - my two references returned their parts independently. I know that the office has received the references because both of my referrers emailed me after they brought them directly to the office.

Figure 1: Paperwork (before completion)
I've been having a lot of trouble getting restful sleep lately; I wonder if it's the huge push I've been getting from my environment towards music stuff, the other dream that can never be:

The 'can iz tawkin' NW' incident last week
Before that, looking at some plugins for iTunes and inevitably a NW song is being used on the screenshots
Playing my flute for Burdon at the show last Friday (here's the best pic I could find) and coming off as a bit prideful for turning down a free ticket to watch the rest of the show
Wanted to visit the big HMV to buy a DVD, but there was a band playing in front of the store, down by the main floor entrance (thankfully I decided to enter the store directly to the movie section upstairs - but you can see down anyway)
Call for performers for Residence Community Awards night in March
A guy who didn't get back to me after I called him last year about his ad put up his ads again... got a response this time but he want a grungy sound for his music so he turned me down (whatev.)
"if you want to frickin' get a band then seriously, WRITE SOME OF YOUR OWN SONGS and play them at open mics or something, stop whining to people about it - it's easy, if you can come up with tunes to other people's chord progressions then pick a chord progression and play it over and over and come up with a tune to it" (what parts of "I can write words for tunes [did it for some folk tunes in high school] but not tunes for words" and the imagining of a dramatic scope, not "boring rock song", and "I write either chants or rigid classical tunes" do they not understand?)
My chemistry TA somehow taking an interest in my art - I can't recall how the discussion got to that part; I was just watching my solution crystallize on the Rotovap...
And of course my consuming preoccupation with the writing of my art manifesto for sociology class - I'm trying to make it as definitive a document as possible, but without being too limiting or else it would be book-length. Naturally, trying to impose a semi-rigid boundary on something that was designed to be form-less is challenging.
