Another Thursday. Another week with just two posts. Sad face. Katie, I think we either need to stop or find new people. I’m sort of up for just stopping… Then I can just post when I want on LJ and WP. We had a good run… slash, it was only like a month. Psh.
ANYWAY, I am going home tomorrow! :D Fall Break roxors! October is a busy month for me. Yes, quite. The end of the month brings us on fall wind symphony tour AND MY 21ST BIRTHDAY. I survived midterms (barely) but mostly because I only had two of them. BUT THEY WERE HORRENDOUS. I had them on the same day one right after the other. Orchestration and Arranging and CLARINET. WOE TO ME, THE CLARINET. My playing test went well and I am relieved. I can now play a chromatic scale and all scales up to four flats and sharps. WOOT. If the clarinet didn’t mess up my embouchure so much I would possibly audit lessons so I can become a woodwind expert, lol. That would be dandy. Next we start sax. Maybe I could keep learning it also because then I could play from the reed books in pit orchestras. I would feel so accomplished.
KATIE – the image from my last post was the example from my music of what I taught my flutes. Quarter note tied to a sixteenth note run. :) I drew it! I have a program called Skitch and it’s really cool (and just for macs 
)
I made this last night with Skitch for Ravelry:
Anyway, I have class in fifteen minutes (which is really just a recital THAT I DIDN’T MAKE ON BECAUSE THE JUDGES WERE ANNOYING.
…
I auditioned for Concerto and this is “Round 2″ and my GROUP DIDN’T MAKE IT BECAUSE THEY TOOK ONE PERSON OUT OF OUR GROUP AND LET HER THROUGH. THAT WASN’T IN THE RULES. I am glad she’s through but I suppose I am…
- Jealous
- Angry
- Annoyed
- Frustrated
- Fed Up
…with the system (and this school, sometimes).
ARGH. Oh well. See you (maybe?) next week or on LJ.
ALSO, anyone else even care anymore? I’m guessing NO.
Oops! My days are beginning to blur together and I LIVE for the weekend THEREFORE my Thursdays are becoming forgotten!
Last night they started Christmas music in University Band. It was a joy to sit and listen whilst eating my Jimmy John sandwich… Thursdays are very busy for me, actually, and I’ve explained before but now I have to run flute sectionals. I believe that it is working out pretty well and that we’re accomplishing things. It’s good and my confidence is growing!
For example, there was one place in the music where there’s a run coming out of a tie and it’s sort of tricky to get.
I had them play it slowly without the tie and they could do it but as soon as I added the tie back in they couldn’t get it. I had them just play the first note after the tie (did that a few times) then added the tie back in and they got it! I was so happy!
Okay – I have class in five minutes so I’ll get going! Hope you had a great week Katie!!! :)
OMG I AM SO BUSY.
Did I say that last week too? I think it’s a trend. Sorry my video was LAAAAME. There wasn’t a lot to respond to vlog wise, though. That was probably the quickest vlog I’ve made yet! I believe I started at 12:15. I finished at 12:45!!! It’s a Thursday miracle!!
Here’s a video of my mad clarinet skillz (also on facebook…)
Here’s my vlog for the week…
What classes am I taking? Let’s see… (complements of facebook, haha!)
For good measure, here’s a picture of “Edward Cullen” (you know, just to get those hits up, haha!!! I HAVE NO SHAME!!!)
AND here is that Twilight Spam I wanted to tell you all about!!! It’s HILARRIBLE (but totally in an awesome way!)
CLEOLINDA MOVIES AND BOOK RECAPS. They make my day bright and shiny.
ALSO, GROWING UP CULLEN. It is SOOO HILARRIBLE I can hardly move. Obviously with that link, start with the earliest posts. I WARN YOU: LANGUAGE AND CRUDE JOKES. Also Twilight jokes about Edward being an emo sparklepire. You will love it even if you haven’t read the books. HOWEVER, you might want to start with the Cleolinda recaps if you’ve never read Twilight. Just a thought.
Okay, some lolcats…
LOVE YOU ALL!!!!! Have a great week!
