Day Without Shoes

This year, I am attempting to organize a Toms Shoes "Day Without Shoes" at Grimsley. The scope of this task is daunting. I registered to have a Toms Campus Club in January, and recently received my kit to officially start this club. The only thing is, I don't know if I can technically start a club this late in the year or if I can pull it off. This endeavor will definitely be a test of my organizational skills (Ha!) and will force me to get comfortable speaking to and emailing people I do not really know. (Yikes!) So far, I have to print out some promo codes that Grimsley people can use to get a discount at Toms and I also have to have a meeting. But however scared I may be, I think that this will be a good thing...

It's eating my Sunday...

That's right, folks! Posting numero dos will be none other than


Greensboro Symphony Youth Orchestra (every Sunday, 2:00-6:00)
Peter Zlotnick


Every Sunday, come rain or snow or dark of night (not really), I trek over to the UNC-G School of Music and rehearse with the Greensboro Symphony Youth Orchestra. For. Four. Hours. I consider this to be a small sacrifice when I consider the benefits of GSYO membership. 

1. I get to spend four hours with my friends doing what I love absolutely best in this world. 
2. I improve as a musician. 
3. I stretch myself to get the most out of each minute of rehearsal. (Believe it or not, playing a stringed instrument is extremely demanding. Just look at Joshua Bell...)
4. I expand my musical horizons.

Even though I am constantly complaining about having to go to GSYO rehearsal every Sunday, I would not quit for the world.
