So, I am including my schedule what I have to get done today. This isn't so you all feel bad for me or anything; I'm just simply doing it because I don't want you all to think I'm a whiny baby who complains about stress if it's nothing! and hey, maybe this isn't that stressful to some, and I will definitely APPLAUD whoever you are on that and I wish I was on top of things like you are ;)
I have to admit though; the reason why I will and am able to accomplish my many tasks throughout the week or whatever, is because I write EVERYTHING down in my planner, and I'm a freak about making lists. I make a list for whatever I do, whether it be for packing for the Philippines, coming home for the weekend, what I'll bring back from home back to the dorm, what I need for a violin lesson, for the week, for the day, you name it I have list for it! I have definitely become much more organized because of this.
Ever since I missed a performance my senior year (a very important one), I have never missed anything since. That was one of the most terrible feelings I've ever had; when I missed that performance. I was supposed to play in the lobby of the Yavapai College Concert Hall before the Phoenix Symphony concert, and I didn't show up. I felt so, so terrible and even worse: my violin teacher's wife is the one that asked me to do it, and she's the President of the Symphony Guild (which I regularly participated in). It was bad. terrible. I made a vow from that day that I was on top of my own stuff from then, and I wouldn't miss another thing again. I mean, I could blame my mom too since she usually knows when I have performances and stuff and she totally forgot too, but I really can't blame her, right? It's my thing. Haha.
So, here is my list that I wrote for today to have accomplished by tomorrow:
-withdraw $$$ for Jiang
-stop by studio for violin bow and DVD
-begin application for Germany festival
-Try and accomplish the Scholarship letter
-Saxophone reading and take notes, page 341-348

- Scales : slowly, make sure every note 'rings'
... Piano

... Saxophone

Today is a stress day, so thank goodness I got out early! Speaking of saxophone, gosh is it hard! I am so terrible at it.. but hey I am strictly a strings girl! Violin, cello, piano, bass, that's my thing - NOT things you use your lungs or diaphragm for, haha. I'm coping though, and it definitely is a challenge - and did I mention fun?!
Tomorrow I will probably just focus on my scholarship application and practicing. Man, I hope I get the scholarship. I think I've worked for it, at least.
Happy happy Tuesday to everyone! There is something about Tuesdays I like. Maybe it's because Glee is on Tuesdays? Who really knows.
To update on my last bland, angry post: I am not angry anymore, and I no longer feel the need to throw a pot at my boyfriend's head, haha.
