beware the lockness monster

I think the stress of this semester is finally catching up to me. 19 credits--what was I thinking? My horn instructor "understands" that I had four midterms last week and could only fit in time to practice once last week, but then proceeded to spend the lesson ridiculing me on how "he can't help me if I don't have the horn on my face everyday." (that's how he said it...ok) and yea, great, I get it. TRUST ME, I WISH I had more time to practice, but the fact is I don't...I'm getting really sick of professors/instructors that treat you like their class/ensemble is the only thing that you are doing--cuz, you know, I love being unprepared, so I just blow it off, OBVIOUSLY. But a lot of professors are like that I think. At least I've always felt that way. But I must admit, it is quite refreshing when you have a professor/instructor that knows you have other things to do, and that their class/group may not be your top priority. This is why I could never teach...I think I'd be way too understanding about that sometimes, and get walked all over or just plain get frustrated with that fact. But I digress...

I'm actually looking forward to my schedule for next semester (provided I get all the classes I want)...mostly cause I've realized I've been spreading myself too thin lately, so I need to cut back on some stuff. Don't worry, I'm still a major overachiever...I'm just learning to say no. NO
that feels good...
but now I actually gotta say it to someone other than myself
THAT will be fun...

I'm just gonna get this one comment out of the way, and not bring it up again til december:
I'm becoming increasingly depressed about the status of next semester (that being that four of my favorite people on campus will be abroad: meg, che, jess, and andy)
but I know they'll all have a blast, and we'll all still have a blast here...but it's gonna be weird, not gonna lie
I'm not gonna get all sappy about it. it just needed to be said
OK time for bed so I can get up bright and early to practice horn a bit before class...lesson tomorrow
I HATE THURSDAYS
