I've got sunshine.........on a cloudy day

I won. After lots of semesters of hard work I finally have been given the chance to play in principal trombone in Wind Symphony, and I also get to stick around in Jazz I for another semester on 2nd trombone. I know many people think that chair placement doesn't mean anything, but to me it is a more solid view of my progress. I am really excited to play principal bone because for the past 2 years I haven't had the chance to really take on some leadership. It's going to be really fun and challenging and I can't wait. Alright enough said. :)

Jazz tour begins Wednesday morning at 7 am. Get to go to my Dad's HS and play for his jazz ensemble; they are just starting off their program there, and overall I think they have some good things going for them. I have a feeling tour is going to be amazing.

Conducting class kicks ass...Dr. Heidel is both amusing and terrifying at the same time. I definitely don't want to disappoint him. I discovered that I have a lot of work to do to break my old 'drum majoring' habits. LOL.

This semester overall is off to a great start. I've become more organized. I feel like I am accomplishing a lot. Yesterday I:

-Woke up at 9:30.
-Did homework for 2 1/2 hours
-Cleaned my room *(complete with dusting, sweeping, sheet washing and bed making)
-Vacuumed the living room and kitchen
-Cleaned the living room/dusted moved all the shoes etc.
-Got into a car accident on the way to rehearsal for jazz gig. Whoops.
-Went to jazz gig rehearsal at 3 p.m. Wasn't late. YAY.
-Spent some more time cleaning
-Bone choir rehearsal at 6 p.m.
-Knock-down-drag-out rehearsal from 9 pm - Midnight. (not bad, I know)
-Came home, did dishes
-Bed

It feels great to be getting everything accomplished after my slacker semester last semester.

I'm really hungry. So instead of writing more I'm going to eat some delicious lunch.

Thanks for tuning in,

Love,
