a glimpse into the mind of a crazy...

According to some, all women are crazy. If this is the case, then enjoy looking into the mind of one. :P

Auditions...

Just found out that I made assistant principal in Wind Symphony. Its bound to be a good semester. I've set some new goals as of tonight so that I can hopefully achieve the things I want by this coming fall.

1. Become consistant in my routine and in general in my playing.
2. SIGHTREAD.
3. Accept where I am at as a musician...(not take things personally)
4. Enjoy trombone.


Those are harder than they might seem...so I'll start there. Hopefully I'll be doing a recital this fall as well....and probably Valleyfair again this summer. (money! :)

Love,
Rachel Catheryn

Insert clever title [here]

I don't really know if anyone reads this...but if you do heres an update for you. I had a very nice relaxing Christmas. Went to the church where my mom and dad were married for Christmas Eve service, and then we all sat around the house in our ugly Christmas sweaters. (it has become a Christmas tradition)

A few days later I was back in EC for New Years' Eve. A good time was had by all. Then went to the cities for the night...saw Casino Royale (good movie) and slept in a little bit.

The next day, Becker drove me home to Waukesha, where I proceeded to find out that my sister Ashley has cancer. Ashley is only 21 years old, and living out in Washington since she's married. Its really kind of hard to come to grips with the idea that there is a possibility of losing someone so close to me. However, the doctors are very optimistic since the type of cancer she has has a very high remission rate and is very treatable. But still. If any of you would like to send Ashley a card or something I'm sure she'd appreciate it. Her address is listed on my facebook account.

Then, I spent the next few days with Becker in Waukesha. Those were some of the most fun days of my life...no lie. I was sad when he left this morning.

Now I'm working, so I better finish this up and head back up to the counter.

Love,
Rachel Catheryn
