Explanation of previous goofiness? And an ultimatum. 2002-11-18 - 1:00 p.m.
Wow. I feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Thank you to everyone who left such sweet notes. I think I originally did a gripe list vs. happy list as a poster for my junior flute recital (the sort of unspoken competition within the music school was to come up with the most creative posters to hang around the building advertising your recitals). Mine were never really that good, just goofy. Naturally something I left off this happy list was "flute recitals". Of course. :)
Well anyway, I woke up at 11:30 this morning (yes, I am ashamed of myself and I will pay for it tomorrow when I have to go back to work, but recall that I do not ask for these unplanned four day weekends- they just happen!). I think maybe I will wait a while before I go see "Harry Potter" again. My sister is greatly annoyed that I thought it was so good. She, after seeing it yesterday, said it was "not true to the book at all". I don't know. She certainly is more of a Potter obsessee than I am. But I liked it. So there.
What I need to do today is practice flute. Grad school or not, January is coming soon. If I don't get back into it, grad school won't be next fall either. I'm sick and tired of being (sick and tired, HAHA) depressed all the time. It's a wonder how level of mopeyness relates to general lack of practicing for me... So this needs to stop. I will treat myself to the evils of the octatonic scales that I told my future flute teacher I'd be practicing. I will chain myself to the Prokofiev Sonata. I may or may not pick out "Hallelujah" to add to my list of melancholy songs to play. Otherwise I will jam on "Part of Your World" to my heart's content.
Yes. I could also clean the bathroom. That is always not fun. Oh well. Happy Monday and stuff.
