midterms

i decided that i actually like midterms! this is mainly b/c i have fewer classes than usual. For example, emily and i did our entire sightear midterm (both dictation and singing) on tuesday morning, so that means that we don't have to go to class tomorrow and we can sleep in a half hour or so. the only thing i'm not exactly looking forward to is my trumpet playing exam tomorrow! i'm not gonna lie, i'm definately not cut out to be a brass player! i practice almost every day but still can't play some of the high register notes. the good news is that after the exam i can return the trumpet and start the trombone!
i'm excited about this weekend b/c friday is the Cru barn bash (yay for line dancing), and Sunday is the first BSSO concert! We're playing Shostacovich Symphony no. 5 and Rossini's overture from the Barber of Seville. I really like the Shostacovich except for a couple intonation issues, mainly involving the E flat clarinet/flutes/picc. no big surprise there! well, i think i'm gonna go finish coloring since i have nothing better to do...
Ciao, Ciao
