Today was my last orchestra concert ever. HOORAY!!! I'm never going to play in an orchestra again if I can help it. Sorry, my idea of a good time is not "count rests and then play really loudly for two measures." But such is the way of life for an orchestral trumpeter. Sigh...
In other news, I am no longer diseased (as much.) But, regrettably, I am now so far behind I don't know if I'll ever catch up. This isn't just from being sick, this is the culimination of a semester's worth of "I-really-don't-give-a-shit-about-jumping-through-these-hoops." So now, to reward my utter lack of work ethic, I have to do tomorrow:
2 Conducting Observation Papers
1 Psychology in the Media paper
2 Random Psychology papers
Studying for Psychology Test
2 Conducting Score Analysis Papers
3 Psychology research participant write ups
A theory composition using no musical notation
A bullshit Foundations of American Education Reader's Response (no, I didn't leave those in middle school)
AND...I really need to practice, since we are six short days away from THE CONCERT.

Blerg...
I am sick.
I am a zit on the face of humanity when I am sick.
I am utterly sore, boring, and useless. Ergo: I went and purchased Final Fantasy X Tuesday to occupy myself during my infirmaty.
So far, I've played about 26 hours of the game. I'm already to Zanarkand--yes I know this is unhealthy.
But you know what? I don't care. Because it's not like I'm going to accomplish anything else.

Ten Easy Steps to Having a Nervous Breakdown
1) The list is posted, the wait is over! Dash to the board and glance at it.
2) Barely read the names—yours isn’t there.
3) Go to the elevator. Go directly to the elevator. Do not pass go. Do not collect $200.00.
4) Beat head against wall of elevator on your way to the fourth floor. Punch wall, swear at your hand for hurting.
5) Walk through the fourth floor lobby. Do your very best to avoid eye contact. In the event of eye contact, a small raise of the eyebrows is a good substitute for a friendly smile, since your face is broken.
6) Find an empty practice room at the far end of the hall. Lock the door, prop the broken piano bench against it.
7) Sink to the ground behind the piano, so no one in the hall can see you from looking in the window.
8) Listen to Sweeney Todd soundtrack. On repeat.
9) Solve Rubik’s Cube. Screw up Rubik’s Cube. Solve Rubik’s Cube. Screw up Rubik’s Cube. Solve Rubik’s Cube. Screw up Rubik’s Cube…
10) Cry. A lot.
