Arguhhhhhhhhhhh!
Ripon is possibly the most depressing place known to man. I think I'm going to start counting the days left right now! As of Saturday, it was four months exactly...and after a little math, there are 118 days left until graduation! And I have to figure in weekends and spring break too, not to mention exam week, or maybe the lack thereof. Hmmm...
And now I've run into a problem with scheduling for my stupid recital! Stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid awards convocation!!! Originally, my recital was going to be April 9, at 4pm. But there were conflicts with my accompanist, so I moved it to Sunday, April 10, at 3:15pm. Now there are conflicts because the awards convocation is April 13, and the band concert is supposed to be the 17th, but the awards convocation is in Demmer, so we can't rehearse that night, but obviously we're going to need to rehearse, because hell, it's the rehearsal before the concert...so they want to move the band concert to the 10th...fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck. So now I have to find a new date for my recital, or go back to the old one. Personally, the old date could cause me a lot of stress, wondering if solo & ensemble is going to go long/etc and my accompanist is going to be delayed. I just really don't want to deal with those worries on my recital day. That and I'm bringing in musicians for an ensemble piece, and I had intended on us all being able to rehearse together on Saturday for the Sunday recital, rather than Saturday for the Saturday recital...so I may have to move it to April 24, but I really don't want to do that. I suppose I don't really have much of a choice...unless band is moved to April 24, but I kind of don't think that will happen. Then again, the 2nd weekend in April has been bad luck for the past three years, so maybe I shouldn't tempt Fate....maybe it is kind of a 'blessing in disguise'...
Anyway, off to go get my registration packet in the frozen tundra temperatures that is now Ripon, WI. I guess I can't really compare it to hell, can I?
