Since it seems that EVERYONE is forced to manage an insane amount of work at the moment, I thought I'd let everyone in on what keeps me (relatively) sane in the midst of essays, exams etc.
1. Classical Music
No, seriously guys. When the monster that is Stressed Natalie raises it's ugly head, this is basically the only thing that will tame it.
A few goodies:
Chopin's Nocturnes in particular are beautiful. I can play a few of them on piano and it almost always helps in chilling me out.
LISTEN:
Rachmaninoff was playing that last one and he, again, rules my world. I recently discovered this little gem:
The best part comes right before the seven minute mark where it gets all awesome and Russian.
Apparently he had really big hands too. And you know what they say about big hands.... great pianist.
He was quite the bad ass, just check it:
Chilling with his beautiful grand piano I would kill 100 single men for.
If you looked up 'gentleman' in the dictionary, this is what you would find.
FUN MANITOBA FACT: Rachmaninoff totally performed in Winnipeg twice. Check it. Additionally, if one was to type in my name into the search bar of that website, one would totally find my prize winning essay. Yeah.
Shit. Now I'm totally late for history class...
Oh and yes Hilary that title was just for you.Over and out - N
