Friday's a long day. I leave the house before 7, drive two hours, arrive at school, prepare materials, teach for about 8-9 hours without a break, practice--if I still have energy left--and drive 2 hours home. Today was a short day, because I cancelled most of my students. They admitted they hadn't practiced since our last lessons in December, so I made a "do you really think you should be in this program?" speech during my studio class and sent them away. I'm sure they were devastated.
Depending on how many students I have, I may end up driving down on Thursdays and staying over, which would make both days much shorter. I'm really torn about that--I hate staying down there, but it's nice not to have to get up at 6 and run all day. Right now a couple of my hours are up in the air. I hope to know what's going on by next week.
Interesting news: when they added my recital to the official department calendar, they forgot to change "student" to "faculty," so it looks like there's a girl with my exact name giving her senior euphonium recital on the exact same day as my recital.
I ate a wheat round with peanut butter on the way to school, snacked on clementines, and ate more chicken taco leftovers when I got home. Last night I discovered that adding a tablespoon of peanut butter to my non-dairy ice cream is AWESOME, so I did that again tonight. I probably mentioned that last night, but I was tired then, and I'm tired now, so I forget.
I took a picture of my cat trying to eat a ribbon. Then I decided I've posted a lot of cat photos lately, so I left it off. I'm feeling pretty uninspired tonight. I'm off tomorrow; the band camp I was supposed to teach has been cancelled because of the weather. I'll try to be interesting tomorrow.
