So many things...

I have so much going on now, but wanted to write quickly to update all:

1. Grad schools. The list keeps changing for me based on what I hear. I think I need to cut 1 or 2 out because I won't be able to take all that time off student teaching to travel. So I'm not sure what to do about that; if I cut one, it will probably U of Austin, TX or Indiana. I feel like I might be going to Iowa next year. Hope I'm not selling myself short of the 'big name schools'. We'll see though.

2. Haunt @ VScare. I like it. I do wish there were more people there

(Scroll down to the bottom and then go up 6 from the end). Thats me. Being a creeper. :P HAHAHA.

3. Trombone- kind of crappy as of late; I think I'm just burned out and not confident anymore. Don't know why that is...it only seems to be on routine stuff that I suck. When I play solo lit or excerpts I sound great. So who knows?

4. COHORT. I like this class. I'm starting to feel a bit more comfortable, however I do get frustrated when the same people always jump in to take the lead with everything. It makes the rest of us (who process a bit slower) look kind of bad when 3 people are running the show for the class. I feel that some people wish they had more opportunities to help. Not me, necessarily, because I'm very busy and dont' want to overcommit, but others in the class have expressed that to me. So we'll see. Not much time left for us all to be together, so I'm not terribly concerned.

5. Working out. Its going to start happening again. My nights are pretty busy, so I'm going to find a time to work on 5 days a week for an hour. 40 minutes of cardio and 20 minutes of abs/weights. Its going to happen. I lost 15 lbs this summer and I refuse to gain it back because of a busy schedule. NO WAY.

Time to get music library stuff done. Wheeeee.

Love,
