good grades and chaos

There are so many things happening right now. My brain is on overload and I can't focus on studying for my romantic music history test tomorrow. Chopin, you'll just have to wait until the morning.

List time. Here's what's going down.

1. I applied for three different summer music festivals, not expecting to get accepted into any of them. Got accepted into all three.
2. Just got the memo that some close friends from home are moving in June. Going home is going to be disappointing and empty without them there. This whole "growing up" thing is about to get really real.
3. There's a stack of music about 1 inch thick sitting in my locker, waiting for me to learn it all. Before the end of the semester. Less than 5 weeks left.
4. Changes in relationships. Friends and significant others.
5. Just registered for my fall semester of senior year. No music classes. Two communications classes, a pottery class, and "Ethics and Technology." And senior paper. And grad school applications.
6. Jazz Orchestra domestic tour is next weekend and I still don't have all of my music learned.
7. Regina Carter is coming on Friday to work with Strangz and the Jazz O. An epic workshop will ensue.
8. Concermaster auditions, Collegium concert, Bach @ First Lutheran, papers, projects, chemistry, maintaining my sanity, and learning excerpts/rep for summer programs. Oh, and getting ready for the Jazz Orch international tour to Brazil in May.

JUST A BUNCH OF CRAZINESS!

My sentences are really short this evening. Just goes to show how much brain power I have right now for writing. Zero.

Soon I will write for the purpose of writing instead of listing. I hope that will be soon.

Till then, here's to passing Chem, RAV4s, and the chaos of life...
