Today was the Eoto show. This time I was able to convey my thoughts into a more animalistic form. I was kind of thinking about how wild the show was and how crazy it had been so far. This led me to draw animal silhouettes. The silhouettes came out well in my opinion. The concert compared to Lotus left me in a much different mood. I felt less alive but more artificial in a way. I think it may have been because of the electronic background used for the show.

I am struggling to find new ideas or at least retain them. Often times I cant write my ideas write away when I come up with them, be it I am in a conversation or an important class. So often times I am coming up with minor solutions or fixes to problems in my life but I am unable to write them down. I have thought I have made good habits with my PCA but I do not know how to keep all the ideas organized in my head.

So we went to the Lotus show today. It was completely incredible and we came through with the drawings. I drew a guitar first then turned it into a T and made it into the logo. I was really feeling mellow throughout the show. And I think my drawing reflected it pretty well.

I know a lot of people often times lose picks while they are playing guitar. Picks are completely inexpensive but yet it gets incredibly annoying when you are losing them constantly. My idea is to have a pouch on the side of my guitar. Probably a little attachment that could be added to it on the side. That way if your in the middle of a show and a pick breaks you have another one available. Or your playing in your room and you cant find that last pick you just had! Easy access and easy to make!

I have begun to learn how to play piano. I am still learning all the basics. I have used the practice rooms at the IKE. At one point in my life I am hoping to gain traction in a music setting. Specifically the type of place  I would want to find myself in a band just like Umphrey's Mcgee. A setting where I have free reign on the piano. I will be bringing my piano next semester.

I spent the weekend in Wisconsin. It was a very different environment that I actually enjoyed more than Illinois. The Greek life is much less prominent then Illinois. There were literally zero fraternities and no one cared.

I found this to be interesting and probably a bit healthier than the way Greek Life is at Illinois. I think that the University should be harsher on the Greek life here. By reducing the frats the University will create a scene that is much friendlier in my opinion. Being in a fraternity I find it almost childish the way some people interact with each other because of their social standing. It is slightly ridiculous. Reduction in my opinion will create a friendlier campus, especially when diversity is involved. I interact very little with the international scene in a social aspect.
