Its that time of year again....
Sophomore year is almost over...it seems really rediculous that college is flying by so fast! I have so much to do, and so little time. Plus I'm loving every minute of it (except speech class) Lately I've been considering changing my major to Psychology. I LOVE the class...but I still think that I love music and trombone at a higher level. It was nice to really enjoy one of my education classes for a change though.
Things at home are rough...my dad and brother were just diagnosed with clinical depression the other day and are starting medication. My sister, Ashley, had some sort of allergic reaction to the sun (from her cancer meds) and her whole face swelled up. It was so hard to see her like that. Luckily the swelling has gone down, but it was really bad for a bit. My little sister dumped her boyfriend. Too bad, he was a nice guy. But shes young and has options, so I guess its probably a good thing. My mom came and visited last week...stayed for several days cleaning my house, buying me food and clothes and just spending some time with me. It was great to see her.
As for me, I've been scrambling to keep up with school. Turning stuff in, speeches, practicing and finding a few spare minutes just to kick back and relax. Doesn't happen often. Can't wait for this summer...our Valleyfair band consists of: Josh Pauly, Josh Lee, Josh Becker (yep, 3 Joshs), Myself, Phil Snyder and two random percussion guys. Justin Verhasselt is also playing at Valleyfair in the stage band. Beckers parents are going to Italy for 2 1/2 weeks too...so there will be parties. Its going to be a fantastic summer.
Good concerts/recitals going on. Jazz II concert was 2 weeks ago; I played really well. I'm starting to catch on and get the jazz style under my slide. Jazz I was tonight, great as always. Becker had his senior recital yesterday which was also really good. Not a great crowd, but he sounded good nonetheless. Wind Symphony concert was AMAZING. I've never played so well (or loud) in my life. The whole ensemble sounded great; especially Pines of Rome.
Bedtime, because I'm still a child who isn't old enough for Thursday club.
Love,
Rachel Catheryn
