My Spring "Break" or Why I'm so Pissed.
This week wasn't much of a break at all, and its still not over... even now. It all started last week actually.
I planned to head up north to visit my parents/friends while they were finishing up their break. As soon as all my driving plans were set, the University Quintet schedules an extra rehearsal with the guy who wrote pieces for us for our next concert (Wednesday night). So the rehearsal was Sunday and I had to come back a day early. That meant my time at home was limited from as soon as I could get out of LB (Friday at 5:30) to Sunday morning as soon as I could wake up and leave (6:45am). Basically I just had all day Saturday to see my family and friends. Less than 2 days at home, then a long ass drive back and long ass rehearsal with a Spanish guitarist = not a good Sunday.
Then I worked everyday this week with some other quintet rehearsals happening. Like yesterday and today I woke up butt ass early and had a quintet rehearsal and then I came to work. It almost feels like I'm still in school... I'm still HERE, I still have to walk back and practice after this, and I still don't get any time to relax at home. Tomorrow I go to Irvine at 7am, and then work 2-5. After that my break is on!! Until Saturday and Sunday when I have to get back to reality and do my homework for the next week. I'm not getting enough practice time in this break, I feel like its just been such a waste... I'm bitter.
