I've notice lately that I think a lot of how stress develops is when a lot people expect you to make them your priority. Obviously, you can't be all things to all people, but when you're doing something for someone, they don't see anything else. I think a good example would be how I got kicked out jazz band: I'd had the tickets for a while, and already made the commitment to Christy that I would be taking her, and it would be completely unfair to myself or Christy that, at the last minute, I back out. However, all Hengesh knows is that I am in jazz band, and that we meet every thursday night. Which is pretty reasonable, to be honest, to expect an hour and a half every week. What is unreasonable is to force to me choose between being in jazz band at all and going to a concert that I've had tickets for over a month, when I'm also responsible for another person.
So I told my dad tonight, and he was upset, but I think he got over it a little when it became clear that I learned more about music and performance seeing the Decemberists than my whole experience in jazz.
Everything they say about spring is true, and I can't wait for Tuesday.
