Junior SYMS in one respect is the biggest disappointment of all time.
Why?
WHY?
...
There are no tubas.
None.
So I'm playing for 2 out of 3 ensembles... and teaching a theory class.
Anyone who knows me understands how painful the lack of tubas is for me. It's like going to some huge convention for your favorite... whatever, and having the star speaker you paid 300 bucks for... just... not show up. Only it's WORSE!
The theory class has me really questioning whether or not I could ever make a good teacher. Any time I'm in front of them, I get tongue-tied and can't figure out what to say to explain things (today the topic was reading bass clef. That should have bean easy as pie for me). They don't seem to improve due to my impressive speeches, and, well anyway. Very stressful.
TWhat really bothers me is that if I sit with a kid for thirty seconds, I can usually get them to understand. Not to toot my own horn, but I mean it. Literally thirty seconds and I got this kid to finally understand 6/8 time, and another thirty or so to get him started on bass clef.
Anyway. Today was crazy hair day, and I took part in it. *grumble* unlike most of the bloody camp.*
Tomorrow is clash day.
I have soooo muuuch crap to do in these three weeks, I should really have used this evening off to sleep or get organized, but instead.,... I watched TrueBlood.

I'm interrupting my lovely pattern of entries to share my phobia with all of you.
I am absolutely terrified of insects touching my ears. Interesting that there's a Latin term "fear of stooping," (kyphophobia) as well as Walloonphobia, but I'm fairly certain there isn't one this specific.
Anyway.
Early this morning, I finaallly went to bed at around 1. Kissed my puppy goodnight, crawled into Chris' futon (my room is not actually habitable right now), shut off the lappy, and flicked (tee hee) off the light. It takes me a long time to fall asleep, but I was just about at that point where I was drifting and very very close to being fully out (that time where if you suddenly think "I'm about to fall asleep!" you fuly wake up, and it takes another twenty minutes at leas to relax again... or at least that's what happens with me) when I saw the reflection of a flashing green light , on the wall next to my head.
First, I thought it was the charge button on my cell phone.
Then, I thought I was imagining it.
Then, I thought it was the light on the cellphone charger itself, and I was imagining the flickering.
and then... I heard buzzing.
And I absolutely flipped out!
There was a firefly in my room... IN MY HAIR. WHICH IS NEXT TO MY EAR!
I now feel completely justified that I sleep with a blanket wrapped around my face.
And fricken Bari was no help at all! He just looked at me like "ooh, pretty colors."
*scowls*
Going to Aunt Bev's this afternoon!!!!!!!
Ohmigosh! ANOTHER FRIEND IS GETTING MARRIED!
and... I decided I would instead post this "tomorrow" because I like my patterns.
