practiced today for awhile. I'm working out a jazz solo so I don't go into auditions so unprepared this time. I hope I'll be in jazz II again, I really enjoyed it most of the year. :) Sitting next to players like Brad March really force me to be attentive to what comes out of my horn all the time. Its amazing how good some of these guys are as just sophomores. I am in awe.

My lip is healing up nicely. For those who didn't know I slipped when I climbed out of the shower and split it open on the counter. Quite painful, but thanks to ice and Vitamin E its pretty much better. I'll have to take it easy for a few more days though. So my JJ solo book will have to wait a bit longer. Oh well.

Worked tonight, it sucked. Seems like I got all the really crabby customers on the phone. In turn, I came home in kind of a crabby mood, yelled at my sister (she's been home sick the past few days) and kind of snapped at my parents too. I should probably stop doing shit like that, because I have a really good, caring family. I know there are people out there who barely speak to their parents/siblings, and I'm quite fortunate. So enough on that, I'm just going to get better at not being so "high maintenance."

Set up a lesson with Megumi. We meet on the 17th. I'm anxious to see her again, I hope that she's not too disappointed that I haven't become a fabulous trombone player yet. I can't wait until the day that I can play like her. That's going to be one freaking amazing day. :D

Thats about all, I'm really getting impatient and bored around here. I've been hanging with some friends from high school, but I definately miss everyone at UWEC. A LOT. So it will be so nice to get back there in just under 2 weeks. Spend some quality time at Haas, with Heather and Bri and with Becker. That will be really nice. :)

Sorry about the long post...well, don't know why I'm apologizing, cuz I dont' think anyone reads these anyways. hehe. So just kidding, I'm not even sorry.

Goodnight,
