I find that the more organized and list-following-y I become, the happier and more content with myself I am. Kind of random, but I realized this the other day when I made a to-do list to make myself feel less cluttered.
Hm, is this weird?? Am I falling off the deep-end??
To keep myself active and organized over the summer, when I don't have so much of a rigid schedule, I made a bullet list of four things I wanted to get done each and every day and to let myself have some freedom with the actual schedule, I Byrnedale-styled it. (AKA Monday: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. Tuesday: 2, 3, 4, 5, 1 etc etc) And then put little color-coded dots on my calendar to remind myself which one I start with.
I like it, though, so xD I guess I can't be TOO crazy. I'm not making myself miserable!
Nell's back from the UP! Yaaay! The house is loud again, ha! And the computer is in constant use again!
Got the TYO seating audition stuff in the mail today. I'm a little concerned about the direction they're going in this next year: They're dividing it up between the Toledo Youth Symphony and then the Toledo Youth Sinfonetta (sp? Spell check doesn't have the word I'm looking for.) The Sinfonetta is all strings and is going to be like... those who aren't at par with TYO-level. I guess they did this due to the MASSIVE influx of auditioning strings, potentially to make them seem not-so-selective.
I realize that most symphonies do this, but it makes me a little nervous as to where I'll be! I'll feel really... embarrassed if I don't make the actual TYO!! It's really a dumb feeling, but I feel it nonetheless! So, I'll just practice extra hard this summer!
Wow, this got long.
