RANT: Preparing for my SENIOR RECITAL and GRADUATION

 So, my time at Lewis & Clark is quickly coming to an end, and I'm trying to get all of the insanities for my senior recital in order.  Finding musicians that will work for cookies and have the time to help me has been difficult, and I still don't have a full choir or a marimbist (although Brett Paschal is helping me with that one).

String Pieces

Coming to the end of college brings up a whole bunch of feelings and problems - and waiting to hear back from schools is completely out of my control, and I think I will soon have a control-freak type problem with my recital.  The main problem here is my inability to control players schedules, allowing the conductor of one of my pieces to do his job, and probably not being able to delegate tasks to others just so I can have full control of something.

I am having a great problem getting people to answer my emails so I can schedule rehearsal times...BBBAAHHH!!!  This is happening in 5 WEEKS people!!!!!!!

I have edited all of my scores - they all look beautiful now! - and that was a bunch of busy work.  Highlight the little boxes, hold an arrow key down forever; highlight next set of boxes, hold down arrow key forever.  Once that was complete - move all of the articulations and dynamics and everything to the specific space that it needs to be in because it got moved when you changed from studio view to page view.

On a happy note, I went on a beautiful hike this morning...it made me feel better.
