But the form should cause an overall growth in density of sound, because the availibility of 'larger rest' elements.

My flight home at the start of Winterbreak from Baton Rouge had just enough passengers for each to have their own row. Now, both flights on the way back, Tampa to Atlanta, Atlanta to Baton Rouge have been packed. I didn't have much breakfast so I've been pounding the airline peanuts and a couple packs [...]
Everytime I go home, I realize how little I know about my parents and grandparents. My Grandfather, on my mom's side, has diabetes. Nothing too serious, but he's always been thin. He wasn't diagnosed until he moved to the US, well after my family moved to Florida. His grandparents owned a general store and spoiled [...]
On the the connecting flight on my way home from Atlanta to Tampa, I sat next to a girl who had just gotten out of basic training. She had just got her release and was flying home two weeks before going her assignment. She told me the hardest part wasn't the physical traning but rather [...]
I'm back in Florida. I haven't been back in 4 months. Gloria came back last night- she's the last one to come back. It's been really weird living without my siblings.

My brother wrote a post the other day about his experience in Chicago so far. I related with it so much, I joked that I would copy the entire post and replace 'Chicago' with 'Baton Rouge' and would be completely true for me. But the following week, he made a post contrasting me with him, [...]
Besides my assignments of woodwind quintet and string quintet (and bassoon sonata for fun), i want to write a piece for solo soprano. Please give me a original poem with sad/serious tone and subject of moderate length. 1, 2, or 3 parts. If 1 part, no more than 200 words. 2-3, no more than 400 [...]
April came to visit last weekend. She's the first person to come see my place from Gainesville. It was so good to see her- I missed her. I took her around town and we saw Saw 2 and Dreamer. I showed her campus, discovered a little room up a ladder, and made a scene in [...]
