mmmmm...

Wow, I am a disgusting human being...I made skyline chili today, and ate a lot of it. what I had left just stayed on a plate in my room for reheating later. Well, I just got back from a late light practice and saw it sitting there, and I went for it. I just ATE IT, even though it was very cold and the grease in it had started to congeal. I guess I just have no shame. Oh well :)So yesterday I received in the mail a letter from Cleveland Institute of Music, notifying me of my audition date. It is SUNDAY, as in THIS SUNDAY. I was expecting Feb 23rd! So of course I'm not really ready for this. I have my lecture to plan and work on, and I have work and a rehearsal sunday. So this audution springing on me has been a bit of extra stress. There are 3 written tests in addition to the actual audition, consisting of theory, ear training, and music history. My history knowledge is so fucking rusty. But LUCKILY, due to my beautiful and gracious (*ahem*) ex, I have my music history books to study. But where do I find the time to study? Maybe in an alternate dimension. Argh. So I have been double-timing my practice since receiving the letter. My lips are definitely pumping up more now! Oh well, Cleveland is just Cleveland...I can't believe I just said that about CIM! It is one of the higher-up conservatories in the country and I just talked about it like it's nothing. Well, just indication of how MUCH I like IU...Tonight's practice was excellent!Today I got to teach my student + 2 of her fellow school horn players. Wow...sometimes I just don't know what to say to them, but they are sounding better after I help them, so I guess I'm doing something right. And on top of that, I got $15 for 30 minutes of working with them. So hey, I can eat for a week on that:) Today Allison and I talked about Faryn, as well as her friend she is going to introduce me to (who said she will meet me, but only if Faryn is there, cause she is really shy. That's so cute! Shy girls are neato.) I mentioned to Allison (who started a livejournal today) that Faryn and I talked a lot this weekend and she asked why there is no romantic possibility between Faryn and I. I told her that's not the case and she seemed amused. Muy interesting...girls...so exciting...I think. I instant messenger-flirted with Faryn tonight, which is funny, considering I disliked her 4 years ago. Ok, enough about girls, well, except to mention that I go to lab tomorrow with the hot GA teacher:)Well, time to get on those 4 books I borrowed from the library today for my lecture...g'night.
