Borodin. And other stuff. 2003-08-06 - 6:28 p.m.
I may have almost fooled myself into being a little excited. To amuse Jenny, I can only say this:
This too, shall pass.
Hehehehehehe.
Come on now, aren't Really Scary Things made a little bit easier when you can fool yourself into thinking they are Really Exciting Things instead? Maybe it's just the ensemble audition music that the band office (finally!) sent me. Polovetsian Dances! As a band audition piece, no less! And they sent orchestral audition shizznit! Even piccolo parts! I'll be damned if I'm not going to audition for orchestra on piccolo! Dammit! I'm going to be the first grad student ever to be stuck in Crap Band but who cares! I'll be playing in an ensemble again! Woooooooo exclamation points! Yeah!
Anyway, I have crammed the important stuff into half of each of two boxes: flute music, music textbooks, and other books. This is packing progress. Those are heavy ass boxes.
I called my friend whose wedding I am now going to not play in and she didn't seem like she had any major medical catastrophes (i.e. heart attack, stroke, sneezing fit, spontaneous combustion, etc.) at hearing this news. She seemed excited that I'm going to school (people are seeming to be excited to be rid of me, har har!) and she was happy that I found Jenn-of-the-granny-car to play the gig instead. So, that's all good, right?
Mmmmm, babbling. Babbling is good when trying not to think of the enormity of one's actions.
I rode my bike to the post office and the library today. From the library's used book sale shelf, I bought the requisite three for a dollar. I couldn't stop myself. I owe it to the library for only going in there once all summer. Yes. One of those books was The Talented Mr. Ripley. Nice. Anywho, I promise I won't buy anymore non-school books for quite a while.
(You didn't see, but my fingers were crossed behind my back. Haha.)
On the way back from the library, I almost got ran over by a truck. Not a Miami Mental Hospital-bound bus. Oh well.
Okay I'm going to go throw some more stuff in a box or get down with some Borodin. Yeah. Have a lovely evening all. :)
