Today

I went out last night with some of my best friends. I've not been able to go out since January 9th. I needed to go out and see some of my friends. I danced and got to see so many people. I forgot how much fun it is to do all that stuff. Anyway, I dropped my friend Alan off at home and got home to my place at 1:30. I finally got to sleep sometime around 2am. Then this morning I had to wake up and go to church for choir. I actually had a really good service. I've been needing it for a while. I got out of church around 12:15 and went to Alan's house. I stayed there until 12:50, left to go home. I got here, and was SO HUNGRY. So I cooked me a rice, chicken, and chicken/apple sausage dish that is SO good! I sat down at the coffee table and watched Aladen. It was really good. I always enjoy seeing that movie. It came time that I leave to go get my cello because I had Symphony rehearsal. So arriving at the Walton Arts Center, I find there are cars everywhere. I had forgotten the Wind Symphony was having a rehearsal before us. So I got inside and warmed up. I had a good hour before rehearsal started. I needed to practice. With everything that's been going on around here, I've not had much time to practice. Anyway I was sitting in the 'green room'. This basically is the musician lounge... where people would sit before or after a concert to rest and chit-chat. I'm getting off the point. Anyway so this girl comes in with a $14,000 bass clarinet and leans it against the counter. It stands about 5 and a half feet tall to help people get a visual. Anyway, she turns away and it falls on the floor cracking in 9 places in the process. So basically she just destroyed an instrument. There is no hope of fixing it. And the girl that did it was like "oops" like it was no big deal. They have a concert tomorrow night and she's not worried about it. What is with this girl? She's insane!!! She has to tell the school how it happened. The way it broke the school is going to have her pay for it I'm sure. It was neglect on her part fully. Nevertheless, it's been a long day. I have to get some sleep because I have a conducting midterm in the morning at 8:30. I'll try to have more publishings. School is keeping me rather busy. So I am more inclined to keeping myself out of arms reach to anything but school related issues. I must admit I needed some time off so I worked my butt off Friday night to be able to go out saturday. It was great relief.
