Hey all, sorry for the lack of blogging lately. Me being busy and well, lazy can account for me not putting a post up in the past few days.
Anyways, the past few days have been INTENSE. For example....Wednesday was a masterclass with the Maia Quartet, which I have to say, kinda kicked my butt. In a good way of course. It was nice to get some feedback, especially since my group is playing a Prokofieff quartet that's really difficult. But their recital was really cool, although they played a Danish piece that I didn't get AT ALL.
Thursday was the usual weird day it is, for example, I didn't go to my 12:30 class, so I got to eat lunch, and take a nap, before quartet. YAY! Oh, and I went to The Hub with Scott, Jenn, and Megan so we could watch Jazz 1 play. I didn't get to see my beloved Mad play though, which saddens me to the depths of my soul.
Friday night was the Wind Symphony/Symphonic Band concert, sat with Melissa and Scott's family and had a good time. Definitely fell asleep during the Irish songs though. I was so freaking tired. But the rest of the concert was SPECTACULAR. The Candide piece made my life.
Saturday was...interesting. Went to the Waterloo Mall with Megan and Scott, then went to a movie with Scott later. We saw True Grit, excellent movie, the ending sucked, but what ever. Then Scott and I hung out with Madeline and Marion and watched 101 Dalmations. Good times. haha
Tonight, I was inducted as a probationary member of Phi Mu Alpha (Beta Nu Chapter), and I have to say, I'm really excited. I never saw myself joining a fraternity, but I mean, come on, music fraternity? Must join.
Okay, now to my lesson dealy thing. The lesson I'm talking about today is love. In the day to come, a lot of people are going to give presents, and be ridiculously happy with their significant other, and love them a lot. But I mean, come on, people act like Valentines Day is a renewal of their love and caring for each other, but honestly, shouldn't you care about your significant other equally throughout the year? It just seems kind of pointless.
Now, for us single people out there, don't let Valentines Day get you down. It's a celebration of love, but use it as an opportunity to tell your friends/family that you love them! It's a day that reminds us that we're all alone at some point, but we have to accept that fact, and get comfortable in our own skin. As awfully hard as that is for some people, take heart friends, we all have to face this. You can always talk to someone else about it. So, general lesson is this: Couples, please love each other and have a good time. But always remember that just because it's Valentines Day, doesn't mean you can't say 'I love you' any other day of the year. To all the Single Ladies (and Gentlemen) out there, we can keep going, get comfortable with yourself and have a good time with your friends or family tomorrow! Make it a celebration of having great people in your life!
