So it has been 2 weeks into the Fall semester of 2008...and a shitload of situations have come by.

First thing first, I have a brand spanking new trumpet professor. Supposedly my past year and half of work with my previous master means nothing now...not. It means everything, and now I just suck it up and play on because that's what I'm supposed to do. There are bigger and badder things out that I will have to deal with...although this one has hurt me down to the core being of my existence.

I have a brand spanking new job at my school. We (meaning the Performing Arts Department) have moved into the brand spanking new building. It's an awesome building with a music library down in the lower level with several practice rooms. As of now, I have been working 3 times a week down in the music library unpacking boxes upon boxes of CDs, LPs, cassettes, DVDS, VHS, orchestral scores, choral scores, music books, jazz scores, and band scores. It's amazing really...I get excited ever time I'm down there...and come home tired as heck.

Classes are ok. I'm not too thrill about any of them, nor am I disappointed. I'm still in a state of mind where nothing seems to be clicking. I'm taking Advanced Theory and Harmony I which after coming off a summer of not checking up on anything...is difficult. I'm taking Ear Training III with another professor (who I happen to enjoy...not just because she was my former trumpet teacher). I'm taking Major Composers of the 17th and 18th century which is getting interesting. I have British Literature II in which I'm reading Robinson Crusoe...yeah not going so well. I'm also taking statistics which is slightly annoying at times. On top of that I have Orchestra and Jazz Ensemble...which are both demanding much of my time.

I'm actually going to see if I can grab a practice room to play in tomorrow before jazz because I need to sit down and go over everything for both classes.

I'm exhausted and it's only 9:05...
