Day 13: February 1, 2011
This was day two of semester two. I found out that my Called for Community class was actually an hour and a half, instead of that hour that was listed online. It was a major letdown, and the class by its self seems pointless and aimed to make people argue about their beliefs. It was also the first day that we had a chamber group meeting with Ya-Ting Chang coaching. The time had gotten moved up so that she wouldn't be stuck in the bad weather that was coming, so I was late and also shocked when my violin teacher (her husband) Peter was there. So I was overwhelmed, which didn't help because I was also the least experienced in the piece, since I hadn't been able to listen to recordings of it and become familiar with it. That rehearsal was the beginning of my bad luck that continued into Wednesday.
Anyways, this picture is in one of Messiah's practice rooms, reflection is on a piano. It gave it an interesting texture. I'm getting bored with this reflection business though. It might be simply because I'm not taking my camera everywhere though. I'll have to put more of an effort into it.
Day 14: February 2, 2011
As I said, Wednesday was a horrible day. I was sore from walking back in the freezing rain and falling on the ice from walking back after the musical rehearsal the night before. I forgot french homework because I mixed up two pieces of paper that I needed for french. Then in class, I didn't remember verb tenses that should be a piece of cake for me. Practicing that day wasn't very productive and I got easily frustrated. I eventually tried to take a nap, but it took me an hour to fall asleep, then I had to go to rehearsal where I missed page turns and key signatures. Then during our break/intermission, the soda I got to drink exploded. It was just a bad day. So, needless to say, when I got back to my dorm, I was ready to call the day quits. This picture was taken in a floormate's room, when I finally got to see one of my friends who I hadn't seen yet this semester.
Day 15: February 3, 2011
The bad luck of the previous two days had me down. I also felt overwhelmed because it was difficult to keep up with homework due to the rehearsal schedules that I've had. However, it was also the opening night for the musical, which was quite exciting. I thought it went pretty well in general and I'm sure subsequent shows will be even better.
This picture was just me trying to stay out of the focus, because I had been feeling so down.
Day 16: February 4, 2011
Today isn't over, but I figured I would upload this anyways. This is meant to show that I feel like things are looking up. Also, Fridays are a lot less stressful, because I only have two classes today and its the weekend, which means I have time to get things done. Also, a decent chunk of the day is left, maybe I'll get another shot I'll like better later?
My parents are coming up for tonight's performance of Carousel. So I get some things I'd left at home and get to visit. Also, I think we're going to eat off campus! It'll be great, I'm excited about this show. I hope they like it, even if it is three hours long.
