Concerns.

Looking back over my entries for the past month or so, I have become concerned that I have a one-track mind. I'm talking, of course, about my work. How it rules my life and how it is assimilating my musings on the aethernet here, on myspace and on facebook.

But bear with me! This shall last for but a few weeks more! This coming Wednesday is my final crit, three weeks hence is my final portfolio submission and following that is my exhibition.

So, just to bring all up to speed; I now have all plans, sections, elevations complete and details are progessing well. The only concern I have is that some friends appear to be working far, far harder than me; at the same time however for some bizarre reason they do not have as progressed a final proposal as my own.

Are they dawdling? Or am I missing something here? I know not, and it worries me.

But enough of work.

And so onto other things.

My collection of Classical music continues to grow. I now possess:

-Bach's Adagios, Brandenburg Concertos 1-6, Orchestral Suites 2 &3.
-Barber's Adagio.
-Beethoven's Piano Sonatas 8, 13, 14 and 23, Egmont, The Ruins of Athens overture, Leonore overture, Symphony #3.
-Brahm's Symphonies 3 &4, Piano Concerto #2, Violin Concerto, Double Concerto, Ein Deutsches Requiem, Clarinet trio, Clarinet Quintet and Hungarian Dances 1-21.
-Chopin's Piano Favourites.
-Holst's The Planets Suite.
-'The Magic of Mozart' 3CD collection, and Mozart's Requiem.
-Rachmaninov's Piano Concertos 1 &2, and Symphony #3.

And there may be one or two other little pieces here or there hiding in the woodwork.

This has come at the expense of cultivating my library of 19th/20th Century Gothic/ Scientific Romance literature, but one can't have everything I'm sure you shall agree. It has also come at the expense of alcohol, but as I'm a pretty poor drunk I honestly can't say I miss the experience.
