Ah tonight was the Hart House Symphonic Band concert.. I went begrudgingly, knowing my time could be better spend with my research and essays so short for time, resentful of wasting the time with this crappy band.. the people I talked to before hand seemed to agree with me.. BUT

Actually, I think thats the best we've ever played. It really went well. I can't believe how many people came to watch, what the hell's up with that?! Some awesome solo stuff, Laura, Calvin, Julia and many more, I heart you guys, awesome job! We sounded good! Except for the last song, which was partly due to hideous out of tuneness (or maybe that was just me) and the fault of the composer for not doing a great job writing the song haha And then we have our graduate student engineer from Switzerland and his amazing soprano sax solo.. how can you be an engineer AND be so talented? I want that talent in my family gene pool haha *smirk*

Oh man Laura and I are just too cool for words.. acting out James Bond at the carnival (that being our interpretation of one of the songs lol) [for some pieces only half the band played and the other half went in the hall] and alternately bobbing up and down to our own little oompa-loompa beat hehe ahh

OMG last week I noticed one of the grad students had the solo clarinet part for Rhapsody in Blue and I mentioned I'd like a photocopy, and THEY BROUGHT ME ONE TODAY!! WITHOUT ME HAVING TO PRESS! I HAD ACTUALLY FORGOTTEN COMPLETELY ABOUT IT!! How friggin sweet is that.. guess what I'm learning over the break when I have sweet sweet spare time? :)

Time to stay up all night attempting essay! Oh yeah, definately having a nervous breakdown about this particular research essay.. we won't go into Thurs.. lets just say the universe did all it could to stop me! Fucking photocopiers in Robarts.. lol

And then back out to a crazy nazi tywo rehearsal in roughly 10 hours!
