I Thought, and I Didn't Hurt Myself

As negative towards life that this blog has been, I think it's about to change. Today was an awesome day. It wasn't all that great until about 7 tonight, when something in me just clicked. I wish I knew what it was. Maybe because tomorrow is Friday? Maybe because I got a night to myself to do what I want? I got home around 5ish sat around for a little while, then started thinking about what my horn professor said on Monday and the talkin' to that Nagi gave me. Everyone left the apt., leaving me here by myself. I started listening to the Franz Strauss Nocturno that I'm playing on my recital. I listened to it once, and I realized that it is a beautiful piece. Becoming ever curious, I then grabbed the piano part and analyzing it measure by measure, chord by chord. More than I and anyone ever wanted to know about it. At that point I was like, "I've got to go play this." I drove butt to the music building, purposely leaving my cell phone here and found myself an empty class room. It was the perfect condition for practicing. A large empty room to myself, just me, my horn and my iPod (for listening to the piece). It was then that I realized how much I missed playing the horn for fun, not because I have to and how much I REALLY like this piece. I even came up with some sappy story to go along with it. After 2 hours believe it or not, I forced myself to leave. I walked out of the music building to my car and realized that it was sprinkling, nah, more like spitting rain. That rain that would have been perfect with some leaves on the ground and a little heat lightning. Also, I'm going to prove my horn prof. wrong on Monday morning. He's gonna see the horn player in me that he's never seen before!

Also, today was 5th grade try out the instruments day at the school I'm teaching at. I love days like these. Especially when the kids start laughing when they buzz on a mouthpiece for the first time. It was fun to laugh with the kids and talk to them about school in general.

Also today I filled out the official "application for student teaching" Yep. It's almost over, and I can't wait.
