Well, things are starting to ease up a little.
Classes seem to be going fine and I think marching band is going to be fun. Everything is working itself out and I don't think I could be more pleased.
The only problem is that my horn lessons are Wednesdays at 8 am. Yeah, that does kinda suck, but I'll manage. It only makes sense that the worst horn player in the studio gets the worst lesson time. I'm okay with that, because I am ready to improve my horn playing. I'm ready. And if that takes me having to get up early on Wednesdays to improve, then I'll do it. I am tired of being a shitty horn player. It's time for ME to do something about it and stop complaining. Yay for growing up.
I'm so excited about my trip to San Diego. I looked up the performance schedule of the San Diego Symphony Orchestra and it looks as if they are performing William Schumann's American Festival Overture and Symphony No. 2. For the final half of the concert they are doing the Brahms Piano Concerto No. 1. Yay. As for other activities, there are several other things Jamie is looking into so I'm uber excited.
I've also been looking around for grad schools that offer doctoral degrees in conducting. You would be surprised, but there aren't very many! I have narrowed it down to Northwestern University just outside of Chicago. They seem to have a good staff and I think I would like the atmosphere better there than at Bloomington Indiana. I don't know, but both would be worth investigating, that's for sure. After I get my degree there I will probably go to USC in California and work on my training in filmscoring. That's what I would really like to do.
Anyway, so yeah, that's all I've really been up to. The dating life is non-existent, but that usually changes during the first few weeks of fall. Who knows? That's all for now.
