music history woop woop
it's very interesting how i've become the definitive expert on all music history in my apartment. what suprises me the most is that i actually remember it all. i think i go in and take any of the exams and get a passing grade, without any review. i guess that is important since it's what i'm going to be doing for a long while. but i enjoy it and i find myself enjoying tutoring my roommates for their exam. the only that i don't enjoy is the fact that they don't know the information! i'm not even in the class and i still remember it...but they don't even have a clue what's going on. however, i don't think it is entirely their fault. well, at least for one of them. it sounds like she has a poor excuse for a teacher. oh well.
i have a cold. it's pretty miserable. i can't hear anything and my head feels like it is going to explode. i have a lot of pressure around my ears, sinus, and temples. no fun when you have to reherse. of course, rehersing is no fun when it's in wind ensemble. i think i've given up on tryin in wind ensemble. i don't really care anymore if i can play the peice of music or not. for one thing, i don't practise the music. i go in and try to learn it in rehersal. at first, this was not by choice. i have such a busy schedule that i have no time for practising. it's pretty miserable, actually. i enjoy playing my horn and practising for my lessons. luckily, dr. timm is very understanding and we mostly play duets these days. which is really great because there are no other oboeists in the school so all i have is my own sound to go off of, but when you play with another oboe, it is really amazing. i love playing duets because they always sound so good.
anyhow, wind ensemble is a load of crap. i wish that i would get kicked out of the ensemble. however, i don't want to have to play in the symphonic band, either. i want nothing to do with these ensembles. i can't stand the repretoire nor the way the ensembles are conducted. i suppose i have a poor attitude. i'm going to graduate this year in the spring, so i suppose i can feel fed up. except, i've been fed up with these ensembles for a while now.
