how come the past few days seem like an extended weekend? i saw friends every day, which is such a treat since a lot of my med school classmates are interviewing, on away rotations, or working hard (ok, only one is working hard...)
taking the day off tomorrow to interview potential MD/PhD-ers. it'll be a nice break, things in lab have been the equivalent of running into a wall. over and over again. it'll be nice to take a break.
watching julie taymor's "The Magic Flute" put on by the Met. it's a visually stunning spectacle, with julie taymor's famous puppets. I'm so impressed with the quality of the Met opera singers. Vocal standouts in this show are Matthew Polenzani as Tamino and Erika Miklósa as the Queen of the Night. she just sang the famous Queen of the Night aria - her precision, speed, and ease of performance is truly amazing. it's hard to make such a trite piece of music, fresh and exciting. wow. Nathan Gunn is currently stealing the show tho; he is a great performer, as Papageno.
