Just Breathe

The week is officially over. I love exam week, i have all this time to sit and do nothing except wonder if there's something I should be doing, but there isn't anything. Well I could study, but you can't study for something you have to play, you can't magically learn a piece overnight. Anyway, i had my conducting exam at 10:45 today, and my jury at 1:18. That was a little rough because i had to play the same thing over and over for 2 hours. Actually I played it 18 times. And I was playing first horn, then I had to play my jury. My face, she hurts. Both went well...well, they could have been a lot worse, and Hindemith can, i dunno, it's a good thing he's dead so he can't write any more solos for any instrument. No one deserves the insane amount of concentration it takes to make it through a solo.

Now I have to entertain myself until my last two exams, Music in Japanese Culture and String Methods. Both are Friday morning. Whee!
