Upon hearing mysterious sounds in the hallway this morning, I instinctively reached for my wand.
I was slightly disappointed to remember that I don’t have one :(
If you ever need a 5 minute break...

Of COURSE it does!
What if you have TWO sisters?? Are you the happiest person on earth? (Answer: yes).
Do you ever have days when you want to laugh so badly, but don’t realize it until you are laughing maniacally at everything?
I miss laughing every day.

Come hear Bach’s Magnificat and Schubert’s Miriam’s Song, both truly, truly beautiful works.
If that’s not your thing, be on the lookout for tickets to Christmas at DePaul which will be held December 9th and 10th this year.
