the music history midterm of terror is over and i'm STILL ALIVE TO TELL YOU ABOUT IT!!! course, i have no desire whatsoever to actually tell you about it, just to let you know that i made it through.
in other news, my tuba player just contacted me to rehearse last week and i found out that our performance is on wed. ON THIS WEDNESDAY!!! get it?? two days from now...? i actually could have known this, had i read the piece of paper that came with the music, but i usually don't pay a whole lot of attention to that until the instrumentalist calls me. so, he got in touch and we scheduled a practice time. everything's great. we met for rehearsal, he was on time, i had all the music prepared... or did i... when we got to the second page we encountered major problems. actually they could have been either major or minor, but the key doesn't really matter. what matters is that i only had the outside covers for his music, and the inner pages were still in his bag. oh joy! i could barely restrain myself from doing a happy dance right there in the practice room. so today i practiced the middle two pages for about an hour and then rehearsed. now i have to get it all solid tomorrow morning, practice with "mr tuba" (i won't use his name, cuz i don't hate him. accidents happen. hmmmm.... accidents happen... hmmmm...) and then be ready to hit the stage wed night. okay, i've said that enough now. it's not going to give me any more time by saying it over and over again.
now i shall take my sleep deprived self off to the shower, and hopefully hit the sack before 9. then hopefully a productive quiet time in the mornin'. ahhhh, how refreshing. i hate the way school and craziness encourages me to sacrifice the most important things. last night i opened the bible and could hardly even think straight when i tried to read. i was like, "forget it! i'm going to fail music history!" and went and started beating my head against a brick. if i have a black eye, that's why.
because i haven't in a long time - word of the day...

yes.
except if you were billy crystal, and i was more than mostly dead, you would go through my pockets and look for loose change. then again, you'd probably make more off the cheap glasses than my change.
:D
i analyze things too much...
