*WHEW* ok so i just came back from my second 3-hour pracise of the day. we had two 3-hour practises today with the damn opera. the only good thing about these two practises were 1) no clock, so i couldn't see the time and 2) the whole cast of the opera were there singing with us, so it's not as boring. anyways, by the end of the first practise session, i was so tired, i totally zoned out. like, i was playing and stuff, but my mind wasn't there at all. it was weird. i went home, took a shower, made dinner, ate dinner, sat around a bit, then left again. ahhhh. the second round at first felt better, cuz we were all energized again, but nope, it was more tiring! when Les made us go back about like 30 bars, i was like "noooo!! don't go backwards!!" but obviously not outloud. haha well, loud enough so that only Mike, my stand partner, could hear. anyways, during the break, Laura, this fellow violin player, started teaching me and Rod (rigo) yoga stretches... damn, they were good! really streches the muscles... ahhhh.... i have to do some later. my muscles are really tense.

anyways, Mel gave me a cookie...after two creamsicles. yummmm hehehe.. i'm so frickin sleepy! argh. still got skills exam tomorrow...bah. ok i have nothing else to post.

i hope emilia calls me soon, i really need to talk to her. bahhh
