Sooo....I really haven't updated in a while, since my dad was here. Nothing really to report. School started here on Tuesday, not that it really matters to me. The only thing that changes are the hours my undergrad works and that orchestra starts up again. Orchestra auditions were today (well, actually, they were Wednesday and Thursday and today was the overflow). It ended up that it was only the orchestra conductor instead of the normal 3-4 profs. We sort of just chatted about the orchestra and who was good, etc. Apparently there were a TON of really good violins, which is awesome. Our winds and brass, not so much, but it sounds like we'll still have a decent section. Basically I played my stuff and he was like, technically I'm leaving the seating up to Karen (the cello prof), but I am thinking you and Rachel (another cellis, obviously) on second stand. Works for me :) I knew I wasn't going to be first stand this year, which is fine with me....second stand works :) Also had a chat with the cello prof before the audition. She was apparently relieved to see me there, because she thought I was gone or something. She wanted to know why I'm not taking lessons and I explained my reasoning, and she was fine, but said that if things calmed down to please come back. So that's nice. I kind of thought she hated me, but I guess not :) Always good to know :)
I think this weekend mommy and I might go to Michigan City to the outlets! Yay!
I'm trying to decide if the "I'm feeling crummy" is allergies or a cold. It's congestion mostly, which leads me to believe it's allergies. Will have to break out the "I don't make you loopy" allergy meds today.
Thinking of going home early...like....now :)
Bye bye!
