It's been a while since anyone posted so I just thought I'd try and get the ball rolling again. I miss hearing about your exciting lives!
As of right now, I am 2/3 of the way done with my Master's program at uChicago. It turns out that UC really is where fun goes to die, unless you're nerdy enough to consider what you study to fun. Which I do :) That being said, most of my time for the last six months has been spent like this:
There are only 3 music students (out of ~120) in my program, so I spend most of my time with a group of English majors. They're pretty awesome people, I just wish they didn't find my ND sports obsession so strange...
The rest of my time at UC will primarily focus on my thesis: "Wings for Wheels: Conceptual Blending and Escape in the songs of Schubert and Springsteen". Yes, I found a way to work Springsteen into my academic career.
Aside from school work, my time in Chicago has been pretty great. There's still a lot of things I need to see in the city, like the Art Institute, but we've found some cool restaurants and blues clubs and we even took some time off from final papers to experience a Chicago St. Patrick's Day last weekend.
I hope you all are doing well and I look forward to hearing from you!
