Break...

I need it. Holy crap I'm freaking out all the time. Quitting this crap has never seemed so necessary. I can't even sight sing anymore, and I've always rocked at that!! This week I had a concert on Monday and Thursday, plus playing in Rep class on Wednesday. Yesterday I had an Ear Training quiz, a Music History exam, an Orchestration assignment due and a Wind Ensemble concert. So yeah, not being at Saint Rose for a week will be amazing right now.

The problem is, as much as I really want to do this, I'll be in New Orleans through all of break, so I'll have almost no chance to do all the stuff I have to. Nor will I be able to practice. I'll have my mouthpiece to buzz on, but I have to play Convocation the Friday after we come back. I get back next Saturday. That same night I have a rehearsal for my brass quintet. The next day is a brass workshop, then a clinic, then a concert with the orchestra at SUNY, during which I'll be sight reading about half of the pieces. But I really think all this will be worth it.

I'm starting a running list of the movies that my boss needs to see. Since I would lose the paper I wrote it on, I'm just going to put it here:

Across the Universe
School of Rock

I think that's all. Tonight I'm being stupid and going home to hang out with Nancy and possibly the girls and definitely her amazing Israeli friend who makes you feel awesome. I should be doing all the work I can't do over break though. We'll see how that goes.

Until next time, peace.
