Still waiting to hear about my waiver…bleh this is horrible! I feel like I’m in purgatory or something. Hopefully it will be approved soon. Meanwhile, I’ve been getting motivated again to practice. I really would like to do a recital before I leave, in Colorado and in Rochester if possible. The logistics are quite daunting…2 […]
I’m going to warn you now, this post is all about hating my life right now and complaining about it. There, you were warned. I don’t know what it is…but I’m starting to get that depressed feeling again like my life is going nowhere. I know its not, but it certainly feels like it. I’m […]
I finally told my employer on Friday that I will be leaving in the next few months. It was way harder than I thought! I actually cried, LOL. I can’t believe how understanding and happy they were for me. I’ve formed a bond with my boss and my co-workers of the last year and its […]
Its been a crazy few days, and I finally feel like sitting down and writing. Concert Sunday, and then I finally made it to MEPS this week. But I’ll start at the beginning. I had the pleasure of playing Debussy’s Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun with the chamber group, Ad hoc. We played […]
Recently, I’ve been working on the Poulenc Sonata which has been an interesting experience. I first played the piece back in 2004 for my junior recital, I chose it because I had heard a girl play it for her senior recital back when I was a freshman. The only thing I remembered about the piece […]
So its been awhile since I’ve posted anything…I’ve been really busy! What’s new, right? It seems like I’m always busy. I’ve been trying to squeeze practicing and preparing physically for boot camp into my evenings after working all day. Last week was really hard – my co-worker was on vacation all week so I was […]
I still am waiting to do my physical for the Navy. Its been kinda frustrating because I was expecting to go last weekend, but it was postponed at the last minute because the University of Rochester didn’t get my records to them in time. So annoying! So now I have to wait until the 24th…hopefully […]
Quick update: I’m still processing for the Navy…bleh, this is turning out to be a pain in the butt! I was hopefully going to be going to Buffalo to take the ASVAB test and do my physical, but my medical documentation delayed things. I had some surgery back in 2007 and they needed more documentation…oooooof […]
So since I have passed my audition for the Navy, things are moving really fast. Apparently, lots happened over the weekend because I got a call pretty much first thing on Monday from the Navy Music office. They said I will be going for my physical this weekend, and possibly even sign my contract for […]
Well since its been over two months since I posted anything, I figured I probably should updatefor the few who may read this. Its been a busy couple months, both with non-clarinet related activities and clarinet related ones. I have been in full force pursuing this Navy opportunity, and my audition is coming up very […]
