<p>So I&rsquo;m finally done with the semester.  Took long enough.</p>
<p>These last two weeks have been particularly busy - I finally finished that piece for the two graduating grad students, and I think it turned out really well.  Having to crunch for a piece isn&rsquo;t something I&rsquo;ve had too much experience with, and it turned out to be really fun.  It was sort of like NaNoWriMo in that after a certain point of deciding on structure and sonority, it felt less like I was writing music and more like I was exploring something that was already there - more like reading than writing.  I got it printed up all pretty at Kinkos and both the recipients seemed to enjoy the piece.</p>
<p>Finals were pretty unspectacular, but during finals week, I had a few neat things happen.  I wound up with a job at the Morgan Library as a help desk tech, which should prove to not only be reasonably fun and well paid, but with a good chance of moving up to working with the servers and with Sage Catalog.  Then, on Thursday night, I drove Elliott down to Boulder after he invited me to participate in his Sufi Zikr ceremony.  While I&rsquo;m certainly not going to convert to Islam, it was definitely a very powerful experience, and well worth participating in.  I had very little in the way of expectations, so it was neat to participate in something so completely different.</p>
<p>Today I picked up a bunch of Górecki and a book, Litany of the Sun by Gene Wolfe.  Looks to be a fun summer</p>
