Determination.

I have tons of it. Unfortunately, it's the wrong kind. I'm very determined at the moment to not do any of the stuff that I really need to. In fact, this determination is strong enough to give me an identity crisis: I'm currently writing about Samuel Barber and arranging 'Ubi Caritas' by Maurice Durufle for brass quintet while listening to Lady Gaga. Meanwhile, cute boys are walking by on the sidewalk. In perhaps the biggest news, I'm sitting in the Muddy Cup and not being cruised or hit on by anyone!! Wow.

I was going to hold off on working on my own compositions and arrangements for a little while, in favor of my many projects due before the end of the semester. But I'm actually not slacking too horribly on everything. Okay, I am, but things are starting to go places with my quintet, with getting some gigs and new music, and I haven't really been involved. Then again, we haven't rehearsed lately anyway. Rehearsals for us tend to consist of reading through pieces and deciding an order though. Very little really needs to be worked on and fixed. It's pretty great.

I got some sexy sunglasses and they're just sitting there. I'm a bit too inside and the weather looks like it's going to turn crappy soon.

In other news, I'm still not feeling well at all, but I was able to use this fact to get out of my tuba lesson today. I was going to offer to make it up during finals week, but my teacher didn't mention anything about it. I don't think he really cares since I'm one of the students he has that can actually play whether I go to lessons or not.

Yup, it's cloudy now. Damn.
