bone in sub

school is exhausting. i made it through some horrible affliction (fever, severe dizziness, restricted airway) and three nights of the opera before hitting a wall on sunday morning. since then i’ve been exhausted and unhappy. hopefully i go back to my normal unstoppable self on thursday night after my recital.

i practiced for something like 8 hours today – or actually, i was in practice rooms intending to practice for 8 hours. i’m sure two of those hours were spent playing the young and the restless or blood on the motorway and making stuff up. i didn’t feel totally wrecked at the end of it like i expected – i haven’t practiced for that long since high school.

i’m curious whether this week is going to get better or worse – some family’s going to be in town to help me out with stuff, my girlfriend has been amazing bringing me food while i practice and just being awesome, and i keep getting more and more prepared for the recital. it could go both ways. i’ll either chill out pretty soon or just get meaner and meaner up until the end of the show on thursday.

now i’m going to finish that film essay from my last post.
