The Beginning

Mission Log:
Hey there.  I'm Emma.  This is my first blog post (hopefully soon to be many) and I'm here to tell a little about myself.

I enjoy listening to and playing music.  I play piano and have for nearly three years.  My favorite composers are probably Chopin, Beethoven, Clementi... the list goes on, but I don't want to bore you with my ramblings.

I love the Beatles.  A lot.  As in, I never actually had a favorite band until I became a fan of the Beatles.  Paul is my favorite.

I love Marvel Comics too.  I eagerly await any new Marvel movies with great enthusiasm.  The Winter Soldier is currently my favorite character.

I love art and spend quite a lot of my time sketching, painting, and experimenting with different techniques and materials.

I plan to attend school at the community college this fall.  Two years spent there and I will have an Associate in Arts degree. Then I will transfer to a state university to double major in piano performance and some sort of art degree.

I live in a house that has lots of animals.  Four cats, a chihuahua, a parakeet, and many chickens which live outside. If they lived in the house, that would be pretty gross.

These are just a few things about me.  I can probably list some more things but I don't want to be boring.  Nobody ever wants to be boring.

I love everything about her. Not in any cliche way, For she contains both love and cruelty. So warm and inviting, Yet harsh and unyielding As a fierce sea, I both love her, and fear her - I revere her. Unshakable as the mountains, Yet moved by subtle drop of rain, She is both Yin and Yang.

Album Review: U.F.O.F.

Mission Log:

photo by Michael Buisha In the one-month wake of Big Thief's latest release, their third studio album, U.F.O.F., I would like to take a moment to talk about the band's direction with this album, track by track commentary, and what it might mean for their future albums. First off, as I started listening to this album upon its release, I wasn't quite sure what I thought at first, yet I find myself compelled to continue listening to the album, over and over again. Big Thief is one my favorite names in the indie scene, and I hoped this album wouldn't disappoint. A little less reliance on distinctive, solid melodies than prior albums, it allows the melody to play and wander. Exploratory in nature, which could be the overall tone of the album. Without anymore delay, let's get into the album. photo by Dustin Condren 1. Contact Great start to the album, atmospheric and surreal, perhaps one of the most polished tracks they've put out (polished meaning fol

Time's Up (And All That)

Mission Log:
I sit writing this, one week away from graduation. I have spent the past week working on a paper until I thought I was going to lose my head over it. Turned in my portfolio last night. Only one final left. The final final. As one chapter of my life ends, and another is about to begin, I find myself reminiscing on the past two years. It's amazing just how much can happen in two years. In the time I have spent at Pfeiffer University, I have evolved in my creative outlets in ways I didn't expect. I had always wanted to call myself a poet, but I felt I lacked the skill or capability to write poetry that was "good." I felt that way for years. Fast forward to the fall semester of 2017, I'm sitting in Dr. Schwalm's creative writing class, with my final portfolio proposal of a collection of poetry. Fast forward to now, and I'm sitting on a rough draft of a poetry book comprised of 42 poems. And I'm still writing. Graduating with a BA in Studio Art
