rant rant rant orchestra grrr
aaarg! naxosmusiclibrary is being so unhelpful and irritating! grrr! and leslie's totally going to shout because i didn't have time to practice this week so i'm going to suck in orchestra and she said she "wouldn't be as forgiving" this week. but what am i supposed to do? i'm not a music student! so obviously _my_ course comes first. and _my_ course does not involve practicing. it involves stupid irritating essays that don't leave time for other things! we're doing Handel's Messiah, but we're only doing selections from it. and she said a couple weeks ago she would send around a list of what we're doing and she _didn't_ so last week we started a new movement and she was getting at the wind section and i admitted i hadn't looked at it and she was all, "the wind section is letting us down right now and you guys don't have nearly as much to do as the string section" but i don't have time to perfect all 22 movements that i have music for in when we're not even playing half of them! so i try to listen to the music and the titles are all in german and it just totally doesn't work because i get lost and confused and the numbers are totally different from what i have and oh my goodness... so basically i'm annoyed because i'm probably going to be chastised severely and what am i supposed to do about it? i like orchestra but i have to say i don't much like concerts. and the fact that they're always right when everything is due in and everything and there are extra rehearsals for concerts that i _wasn't_even_supposed_to_be_in_ so i can't go to my mother's for thanksgiving. and it makes me sad :( boo. and now i have to go. and i don't really want to. ugh.
