Update Finally
So yeah, I hardly update this even though I read it every day.....new September resolution...update at least once a week!
So school is.............eh. It's really hard to say. My classes aren't too difficult. My education classes are basically right up my alley so the test are opinionated and easy for me. Conducting is going really well. I didn't know how well I was doing until our Mock Test...the real test is next monday. I guess I did better than average because Marcades kept telling me how impressive it was, he also told me that I should consider Conducting as graduate study. I actually did think about it and talked to Rumbelow a little about auditioning for his study next year. There's only 1 issue. The plan all along was for me to graduate in May, get a job, Daniel will graduate the following December, then we'd take the spring semester to scout out grad schools, then move beginning of the next year. If I studied with Dr. Rumbelow that would mean Daniel would have a year and half of not doing anything...and he's not thrilled by that idea at all. Plus, we both really want to get out of Columbus. I don't know, we'll have to see what happens.
My recital is coming up. I had a horrible lesson today. He really gave me a lecture about how i needed to really get into crunch time. It's so hard though since I've come to the realization that I'm burnt out. I've never really thought about it before, but I started performing on piano when I was 6. Since then my life has been based around practice, playing, and performing. I've just come to the point that i'm absolutly tired of it. I don't want to play. I don't want to practice. I don't want to perform. I have no motivation to do any of it anymore. But....my jury is in 6 weeks and my recital is in 9....so i'm just going to have to suck up and ignore all my feelings. Hopefully I can pull it off. I don't think I could try again.
ahhh....the road to graduation is finally winding down....hmmmm
