Well, it's technically not a Phd, but it's the equivalent in music composition.

And no, I'm not writing anything right now. I'm not sure when or if I will again. I don't have the confidence to perform (or even write) any rock or anything that people would actually want to listen to. And my training is predominantly in art music with a little bit of jazz. People don't want to listen to that. That was not what I originally wanted to write anyway...I wanted to write the rock stuff. Or at least play it. Oh well.

Also, to be fair, I do get some of the "hang and have a beer" need fulfilled with my boyfriend. Sometimes it's with his friends too and I usually feel the odd one out. It would be nice to have my own friends, especially since he lives an hour away from me now. Again, oh well.

And thanks for the offer. I have no idea when I'd be up in New Hampshire though.
