...and appreciate good things that happen.
Like tonight, when I went to a show at the Indianapolis Museum of Art with Osso, DM Stith and Sufjan Stevens. It was really good, and I went with some friends from the workshops office, Josh and Megan. And then I got Sufjan Stevens' autograph, which was the best thing that's happened for a while.
In a recent interview, Andrew Bird said he tries to do something Real at each of his shows – something exciting or unexpected. Where did the concept come from? It's something that's been at the back of my mind for a long time now, probably since I moved back to Indiana after my semester in London. Coming back to Indiana from anywhere, really, makes me really appreciate the Real things that happen to me. The entire summer in Minneapolis was so Real.
And now back in Indiana I feel like I am only touching the surface.
BUT there are some times that are more Real, like tonight when I stood next to Sufjan Stevens for a few minutes and got his autograph. And a few weeks ago when I saw Andrew Bird. And...
That's it.
So that has been my life lately. Class and work and sleep. For the first time in a long time I started a countdown before November to Christmas break. Is this senioritis? It's the worst.
Also, I made a website: beckyrother.com. So at least there's that.
