Well, it's about time to update this thing seeing as how now it's April and I'm no longer so very close to death. Last week was a rough week, but I'm better now and currently about to face a very very busy next seven days head on- busy, but at the same time, exciting. Oh Life, you never quit, do you?
So here it is Thursday night, and I will run through my schedule now, not necessarily for anyone's reading enjoyment, but mostly for my sake of figuring out exactly what I need to do.
Tomorrow is almost here!!! Why is that so exciting you may ask? What's so special about April 7th? Well, tomorrow night marks the culmination of something that I have been working towards for the last year of my life. Tomorrow Night at 8 pm in the Henderson Auditorium, I, accompanied graciously by the Anderson Symphony Orchestra, will make my debut as a Young Artist and one of four winners of the Concerto/Aria contest. I will be playing Haydn's Cello concerto in C major. Now, I feel I must take some time to share my feelings about this. First of all, I'm thrilled. It's amazing to say the least to see your work come through. Second, I'm a little worried because I feel like I'm bragging...and I hate that. I'm my toughest critic and I would rather anything else than to act like a snotty musician because I know exactly what my capabilities are and exactly how not close enough they are for me to act like that. I find it hard for me to tell people about the concert without feeling pompous, but at the same time, I want my friends to share this with me, because I feel like this is a milestone in my life. I am accomplishing exactly what I have set out to do. I have been practicing alot and working hard and it's satisfying. It's kind of a tension between feeling satisfied with my work and taking credit. I know what my level of playing is I don't want to give people an impression that I'm any better than I am. that's just the little wrestling match going on inside me right now. Anyway so that's what's going on tomorrow night. (don't let me fool you, I really am happy)
SATURDAY!!!!!!! the day of rest and recouperation. HA no. I have to work open house, ALLLL day and then go see my old friend Collin Derrick's concert saturday night. Psh... who needs time to do homework?
SSSSSSSUUUUUUUUUUUUUNDAY. The Lord's Day. I will first be observing the Sabbath by going to church and then after I get fed, I will be using that newly acquired energy to make it through the rest of my week. Sunday Afternoon, Anderson University has decided that the change from College to University is call for a giganto celebration complete with ice cream and stuff and hub-bub and a free concert by the Anderson Symphony Orchestra...oh wait, that's me too, huh? Yep. So there goes Sunday afternoon. Then I get to go to a Peru meeting Sunday night. I am excited for that, but at the same time, I am starting to really wonder when I will have time to finish all my work. Hm, good question.
Monday....the day of mon. Actually I don't even think I'm going to go through the rest of the days, but it will be a blur of tests, quizzes, musical performances, concerts, papers, projects being due, and maybe some sleep thrown in here and there. Other duties as assigned.
well I think that's about it. The next seven days start out exciting and then will probably end with some stress. Oh well...Lord give me strength to accomplish what you will have me to do! Bye Everyone!!!!
