more work today. I worked at 12 hour shift with an hour break in there....so I guess that's technically 11 hours. But the good news is that I get to eat next semester! (As you can imagine, I'm quite thrilled about that.) However, my feet are in a bit of pain, so thats why I am sitting here typing this instead of downstairs practicing standing up. I will go practice in 40 minutes.

Working hard on lots of different things, Mahler 3 especially. I love the challenge of trying to prepare a whole bunch of things at the same time...jazz solo, Cavatine for concert band auditions, Mahler 3 solos. Aside from all that, I am still trying to keep up my regular practice routine. Warm up, technical study, rochut (in tenor and down the octave), Excerpts (Mozarts Requiem, Hungarian March, and Flying Dutchman all in progress), Jazz, Solos, Ensemble Music. I gotta say I really love the challenge, and the more I schedule my time to the minute, the more I get done in each session. Well, thats definately enough trombone for one entry. :D

Next week I get to go back to EC and see everyone for the first time in a month. You can't even imagine how excited I am, so don't even try. :P Heather, Bri and I have been deciding on furniture, dishes and all that jazz for our new apartment/house for this fall. That will be absolutely amazing. Brick house. (brass-chick house) It's great.

Time to go play some trombone and maybe work out. We'll see how tired I am after the trombone. ():D
