Oh joy, it's Friday...the start of a hellish weekend!!! :)
Ooh, it's Friday. Not that that means any form of welcome relief from anything...le sigh. Oh well, in just over a week most of this will be over! Huzzah!
Last night was my last Thursday night orchestra rehearsal ever! Unless they somehow manage to talk me into taking that horrible, evil, wretched, waste-of-time class again next semester. I hope (because I'm evil) that they are playing a piece that requires a really good principal oboe, because then she's shit out of luck! Ha! Take that! I was ready to drop orchestra at this point in high school too, but out of respect and actual like of my director, I opted to stay. However, in college, we are seriously lacking in that department. If I liked our director, I'd stay. Why did Dr. Alexander have to leave???????? :(
So, there's my happiness/sadness (happiness at not having to be in orchestra, sadness at not being in orchestra/Dr Alexander leaving).
Uff, anyway.
Good lord, my days are far too busy for the next week or so.
Jazz band concert, Chapter 6 tonight afterwards, then working on shit.
Saturday: Choral Union hell day. Choraliers hell day. More homework.
Sunday: Choral Union hell concert. Working on homework.
Monday: I think that paper is due, besides, it's monday. Lots of work. Maybe no lesson. I hope. Then band, and more work. Of the resource center kind, anyway. Blah.
Tuesday: Class, Rodman, more class, more Rodman, more work?
Wednesday: Work, lesson (oop, automatic bad mood day), work, recuperating from bad mood, band, work on presentation (read: bullshit).
Thursday: Class, more class (complete with presentation!), teaching lesson, then NO ORCHESTRA! (okay, maybe thursday isn't so bad)
Friday: Probably practicing. Not for my juries, because they're going to suck anyway. Last year I got A's and A-'s across the board, AND only 3 hours of sleep (ah! memories! that was fun). This year, I could probably sleep endless before hand, and still do badly. Why's that, you may ask. Well, if I was going to be playing some pieces at juries that I actually KNEW, I could BS it, but my teacher's brilliant strategy is to have me play some pieces I DON'T KNOW because she doesn't want to hear the ones I DO know again. Yeah, I think her logic sucks.
Saturday: Jury day! Don't care. Oops, I'm accompanying two people. Okay, I'll care about juries for their stuff. Hehe. And more Choraliers fun. Ohboy!!! But after Heidel House fun, it's possibly dinner fun at Gooseblind or something. Yay!
Sunday: Ooh, all the non-fun is over! But I'll have to start worrying about finals. I actually have two, but they're not till the end of the week. And why do then what I can do later?? :)
Ooh, but Professor Lee DID give us a chance to redeem ourselves. I better start working on the take-home final like, now. Maybe I'll do that this Tuesday night, so I can get the extra credit for doing the stuff early, as well as doing all 12 questions rather than 8. Score one for the aspiring overachiever. It's not going to happen. But hey, I can hope, can't I?? Maybe I can get some of those done at work on Monday, since it'll be 3 hours of just sitting there anyway. :)
In the meantime, I'm coming up with ways to make myself scarce. Any suggestions?
In exciting news (for me anyway), I found out one of my high school friends (Kristen), lives in Rochester! So then I can maybe head out to Rochester sometime with another HS friend (Tiffany), to go visit Kristen AND Erin (college friend)...it's like killing two birds with one stone! Hooray! So yay, Erin, I might be able to come visit you! And I've found someone else to ride out there with! Yay for Tiffany!
Funny quote from yesterday...
Reid: Why is it so fucking cold here??
Me: Because this is Wisconsin...and it's December.
Reid: Good point.
Me: Besides, aren't you from Minnesota? Isn't it like, warm here???
