This morning, I ran and I kept on running.
The recorder I was using didn’t seem to charge last night and I found that out when I was about to record. So I ran all the way back to my dorm. My chest heaving, my legs ready to give up. People gave me ridiculous looks as they saw me racing down University Place, like I was crazy. I probably was.
What am i even doing? I kept asking myself this. What does it matter, I know I won’t...

I posted a quote a while ago, but I never wrote down my thoughts about it. A recent discussion with a friend got me thinking about it again. Here it is:
“Silences make the real conversations between friends. Not the saying but the never needing to say is what counts.”
I hate the feeling…
I love you Celine <3 :)
Soo I like quiet friday nights
I’m gonna paint my nails, make them all pretty while I catch up on TV shows. Edit as much of my final draft as I possibly can…and be a happy camper if that happens. IT WILL HAPPEN.

Una Violinista: Practice Guilt →
unaviolinista:
I’m not sure if this is applicable to every musician, or just to my friends and I, but there is a sense of shame and urgency when we take a day or longer from practicing. I took the day off yesterday to pick up my brother from college, and to go out to dinner with my family. Today, I noticed my…

I'm craving boba...but i don't want to get cash...
oops I mean bubble tea…i don’t even know anymore.
i just want it. so badly right now.
I haven’t had boba for like……………exactly a month.
I live on that.
just kidding.
But i need to save my money for re-recording :(. I kind of hope i don’t have to pay ._. but lol jk i’ll probably have to pay to re-record. BUT I ONLY GOT LIKE 30 MINUTES...
Re-recording the Weber and possibly the Hindemith...
Gotta practice like crazy this weekend to make sure it’s perfect :(. I also have to practice La Mer…and Francaix…and Hindemith. Oh and I have an essay due Tuesday, no biggie.

GAME PLAN FOR TOMORROW MORNING ALDKJFLDKJFLKDJF
7: 35-wake up
7:55/8:00-eat cereal, grab a bagel, and a banana…
8:25-warm up in shitty practice rooms; breath builder, long tones # 2, work through some tricky spots slowly
9:00-9:45: weber and hindemith twice!
9:50-10:30: orchestra excerpts. (Rachmaninov 2nd symphony, Third mvt from capriccio, Brahms no. 3, Beethoven no. 6)
I hope my nerves have grown since it’s recording...
drown out all the noises with music.
that’s ironic.
stressing out about my recording tomorrow....
I made a sudden change and decided to do Brahms 3 instead of the first mvt of capriccio, mostly because it contrasts with beethoven. (lol no it’s because I’m too frustrated with capriccio)
Then the room I really wanted to use is in question because we don’t know of it’s availability. I do not want to risk someone walking in mid-recording session and kicking me out,...
I'm frustrated!!!!!
I can’t get capriccio up to tempo! I don’t know if it’s the trills or something else. But I could barely get it passed 110. Fuck.

To ditch studio tomorrow or not to...
I’ve never ditched my studio class, but I feel like I’m running out of time to prepare for the recording. I have such a time crunch because Im meeting with my accompanist st 9 am on Friday morning and then I have class at 11 am. I mean that’s more than enough tome but you never know. I just want to do well and not fuck up any runs or squeak. I think I will ditch studio…and...
ugh recording in pretty much a day
I’m going to die.
capriccio (first mvt) is still not up to tempo…26 MORE CLICKS. I’m going to ditch math class again…for the fourth time. gotta practice.
actually I’ve learned that at 11 am the practice rooms are absolutely filled.
So I’m going to finish my math homework (ironic because i’m skipping math) and study for the quiz…sounds good.
I...
dear mom, i want you to believe in me
Please stop it. Stop telling me that this is a profession for the rich (well it really is), stop telling me that I’m not going to get a job. Why do you tell me these things? I already don’t feel like a great clarinetist, but i’m working at it. I’m working to the bone, i don’t like leaving the practice room after working so hard only to hear you on the phone remind me...
