Getting Ready
I need to pack. I just haven't gotten to it yet. I had so much to do on my list. I barely got my phone calls and other arrangements done today. I'm still working on the job situation but have have people aware of the fact I'm looking now. It's a start anyway.
My grandparents brought homegrown eggplant over yesterday while I was at work. I made it into a very tasty sandwhich.
I practiced again today. The scales themselves aren't too bad. Memorizing which one is which is tough for me. I don't know why I still have trouble with that. I have the school fight song memorized though and can play all of the other music pretty well. My tone sucks. My breathing sucks. My embouchure sucks. My fingers don't always agree with me either. I'll get back into it though. And will work at it more than ever with all of the music I'll be taking.
I broke my id tag on my clarinet case when I was trying to change some of the information on it. I went to melody shop to get a new one, but got a little crappy one instead of what I wanted because they don't have any other id tags any more. I bought that, 4 flip folder pages, and a new flip folder and spent just under $10. I feel ripped off. I needed it though. Fortunately I found sax reeds in my bag so I didn't have to buy some of those too.
I was moved up in karate tonight. I'm proud of it. I have worked hard at it since the start. I put everything I had into it during each session and it paid off. It really meant a lot. I'm really hoping to keep up with it during the school year.
I went to Walmart to pick up a frame for my certificate and left with a cd of the very best of Sheryl Crow. I looked at the cd's the other night when I was in there and it looked good, so tonight I bought it. I don't even feel guilty. $14 and I don't feel guilty. Tell me that's not an improvement.
I went out to Stu's tonight and stopped by Dairy Queen to get some icecream to make "nerds blizzards". They were pretty good too. Saw Sam. She was working. I hope things go better for her at work. I've lived next to the people who own DQ all my life and am not sure I'd want to work for them.
Well, time for bed. I've got lots to do tomorrow.
