Last night was sweet. It was nice to hang out with my guy and see all the SAI girls a little more relaxed. (hehe) This will be a short entry, seeing as I'm really tired, didn't get a whole lot of sleep last night. I only had like 4 beers and then a bit of Malibu....I didn't measure how much I took though, Brad just handed me the bottle and was like "drink it down." LOL. Anyways, it was a great night, I definately missed the dance parties.

In other news, I have a lesson with Dr.Ostrander tomorrow, should be a good one. I've worked really hard this week especially trying to make sure all my lesson preparations are done. A rochut, 2 Kopprasch studies, 2 excerpts and the first movement of a new solo. I just want to make sure that I do things well, thats all. :)

Got a sweet new book yesterday from that bass trombone guy, I'll have to get started reading that one. Hopefully that will help me allow myself to become better at trombone instead of holding myself back. I guess its just really hard right now, everyone keeps saying how great Koble is at jazz. Well, I'm glad for him, its just a little painful to me is all. So I will just have to suck it up and come back and play better this fall. :)

Time for me to go back to bed for an hour...then maybe lunch with Kate or Heather. :)

Love,
Rachel
