a dream job
well, i missed a lesson this week. i've been running around a lot so i didn't have time to finish my counterpoint stuff. oh well. it's not that i said, "lets me tommarow" and then i didnt show up...i just didn't call lloyd and say let's meet this week. but i did call him and left him a voice message so we could mee this coming week.
how is counterpoint? slow. ha ha. i think i am starting to understanding CONTROL. although, it's difficult. last lesson i was scrambling to finish and carl came over, which is distracting, and i wrote some pretty horrible stuff. the stuff i'm working on right now is better. more controlled. but not so stuffy. i started second species which is a blast. not really. it's counterpoint. how much of a blast could it really be? at least it keeps my brain thinking like a musician.
i was recently hired as a score reader for an upcoming web art magazine. they pay me 35 dollars an hour to tell the main music writer what is happening in the music of some dead composer. my first assignment? bach six partitas. i'm looking forward to working with this guy. i mean, it really is a dream job for someone who has just graduated from college with a degree in music history and theory. apparently, my responses to his questions were what got me the job over some "stiff competition". i suppose i have lloyd to thank for that! or maybe just the collective thought of the bad news bears. or maybe i should give myself some credit? yeah. i'm a genius. yeah yeah.
carl is jealous. he wishes he had the job and not me. can you blame him? i told him i'll give him the job when i leave to england. i mean, i'm leaving the 23rd of september! i found the job, if you are wondering, on craigs list. opportunities are everywhere.
i need to remember to turn in my student visa application to the british consulate! i paid the fee for it. i just need to print it out and take it in. i must do this monday. must must must.
i hear there is a pbe concert coming up in august...see you guys there. i'll be in the crowd.
