Me: graduated a few years ago from MA, conducted research on pop culture, and... currently MBA student at a business grad school.

back from Orchestra, after playing of Prokofiev's classical symphony... I'm listening to Dvorak's slavonic dances. Thinking of. Not a cellist. Just about his green sparkling eyes and his bright smile. Hope to see him very very soon...
