Seven Barkans in Monterey today after trekking out to the shores of Ano Nuevo yesterday to see a bunch of these suckers:

I am VERY excited to be flying home tomorrow. I haven't been to San Francisco in a year - wow. Even though the schedule is jam-packed, I think it will feel like a vacation. I've been laboring over my portfolio pieces for the NYU application every morning and night for the past two weeks and finally sent them off to Prof. Spratlan. I hope he likes them enough to recommend me to film scoring school. More on that to come. Cross your fingers.
