What to do?
I'm not even done with school yet and I am already bored. It is really sad to say it, but I like school, as much as I hate going to class sometimes too.
I had my stats final this morning. It wasn't the best, but I probably did better than 75% of the class. I had the top grade and we will see what this test did to that. I then came home and did a few things around the house before pulling out the trombone to practice like crazy for tomorrow.
I am more nervous about my jury tomorrow than I have been for the other three or any of the auditions that I have done. I don't really know why, but I feel like I need to really prove that I am an good musician, even though I don't think that about myself very often. I also think that had I put more effort into it when I was younger, I would be excellent by now. I guess I am afraid that I am going to get passed up for the section leader spot that will be open now that Steve is graduating. I just have this gut feeling that someone better than me is going to get it and truthfully they porbably would deserve it more, but I like to get some recognition sometimes. It motivates me to work harder. I would be more motivated if I had any kind of music major where I would play my trombone after college. I have the music business major, but that is mostly business anyway. Maybe I should rethink the whole major thing and go into music. Although, that means more music theory and that stuff sucks and I wouldn't want to torture myself with that any more than I already did.
I am trying to think of things to do while I wait around for my sister to call for a ride and until I get to see Nik tonight when we go out for dinner. I am not sure where we are going to go yet. Any ideas?
I should go and practice some more, but my lips are getting really tired. Oh well, the pain means I am getting somewhere. I have been playing on and off all day. It is good for endurance.
