Little update

School is starting up in about 2 weeks. I'm struggling with tution problems, scheduling problems, and just summer problems. I don't want my summer to end...I don't feel like I had a decent summer. I haven't gone to the beach once because everytime my family went I was still slumbering away from late nights at work. I know the best time to go to the beach is in the morning but I'm just not a morning person. I cannot function properly before 8 AM without getting sick.

I am a bit burnt out from working all summer. It has been a constant grind at the theatre with in the past week with several problems. One night we went over an hour because sound check went to 15 minutes before showtime, we had a heart attack in the lobby, and last night we had an altercation between a disgruntled/drunk patron and an usher and security. I've been cut my last week of august to focus on my first week back to Adelphi.

As of now, I'm supposed to be the work study student with the jazz band. I'm hoping this still stands because I can use the extra money for instrument care and music needed throughout the year.

I've sorta hit a dead point in playing trumpet this week. I am supposed to be cleaning up my piece, listening to it alot...but I just wanna rest! THis is my last week with my summer lessons, so if I can give it all I got in the next three days...I can rest for a week and just collect my mind and shit.

I really believe in just taking a break. Maybe I'm just stupid or lazy, but my philosophy is give it hard, and then rest a lot. Everyone needs a day off or a few days off. I've been really swamped in my life...I have no focus on anyhting...and I need to collect it before going insane before Halloween with Ratdog doing two shows...
