So my senior recital is in just over two months. And I need to practice a lot.
But I also have a fabulous job where I am finally being encouraged and supported and appreciated. If I spend more time working on stuff for Mass, it will actually be appreciated! And there's so much I want to do. I can't do anything interesting at this point, but things I would love to work on include transposing accompaniments at sight, improvising free harmonizations, and switching around which appendage of my body plays which musical line. So much to do, so little time.
My point in all of this is that when I DO sit down to practice for school, all that I WANT to do is to practice for church! And someday, in just over two months, that is what I will be able to do! yay! But for now, I must carefully guard my time where I need to work on stuff so I don't have a horrible embarrassing situation at my recital...which is relatively inevitable.
sigh.

I just asked St. Cecilia to pray for you.
I put your blog on my blog roll. Thought I did it last night but I didn't. I wish you courage and tranquility for your recital.
Recitals are the only thing I miss about academia. It feeks like I haven't had one in forever!
