it's been a while

i just got back from a week long conference in los angeles where we debated, legislated, and  compromised the future of the state of california.

listening to all these girls and the topics that they presented, i learnt so much about what was important to the youth of america today, and their views to fix it.

but since its in the wee hours of fourth of july (happy birthday america!) and i'm hiding in the back room of a party on their computer, i'm not in much of a mood to type out my point of view on state issues, and instead will give you some music.

these are the songs that kept me going through my week. because 5:30am meetings everyday and not going back to the dorm rooms till 12:30am really tires a person out. 
there's no really any particular order to my playlists. maybe i'll make different ones next time? a playlist for drinking tea in the mornings? a playlist for taking long walks in the park? 

i've been listening to a lot of michael giacchino lately (go figure,) dave brubeck, and mulatu astatke.
they've been the only things that have been able to put me to sleep at night. dorms are very loud places.
anyways enjoy what i have here :)
