I'm beginning to lose interest in writing this blog, which is a shame. Seems that's the way everything goes for me, I start with conviction and just slowly lose it til I stop. I'm going to persevere with it though, cos I know there's merit in this even if I can't feel it right now.
Maybe it's not entirely my fault. College just seems to be sucking the life out of me right now, there's so much to do for it, including blogs for some of my projects in it. Speaking of which, I was already planning on updating my project blog but it's just occurred to me I've not updated my performance one in ages so I'd better get on that...
So what's happening right now? It's Monday, and I'm off college all week, have a holiday apparently which is good. Still got plenty to get on with though. Been practising sight-reading on the glock. Not doing well at it. Getting a bit better I guess, but still not fluent enough over whole pieces. Keep forgetting dynamic markings and stuff. I'll be talking enough about that in my other blog though so I ain't gonna bother here haha.
Called up and emailed the college to try and book a rehearsal room for tomorrow but I don't seem to be getting through which is pretty shit. Tomorrow's the one day everyone seems cool to practise so I really wanna get one in. God, everything's just trying to fall apart.
Went out in Edinburgh on Saturday there for Siobhan's 22nd. Was a good night in many respects - didn't spend much for once and did what I set out to do which was cool. Had started reading 'The Game' the night before we went, think that inspired me in some way haha. Got a bit too drunk as usual though - drinking cider always ends like that for me. Felt like the guys and girls were too separated over the night which was a shame, wanted Siobhan to still feel like we were there for her. On the other hand that made doing other things easier. And when I think about it I did see the girls intermittently, and talked to them I think, just don't remember properly ha. Still, was a guid night all in all.
But now, back to business. I know I've moaned about it and said it all too much but I can't wait til this course is over. It's the weight of everything at once... Teaching, performance, project and the blogs. I need to do stuff for all of that today alone. It's just pish. Haven't written properly in ages, want to get back to recording as well but I've no time for that. Guess I'll get there eventually, just gotta keep juggling these balls for a couple more months and we'll be in the clear...
Other things on my mind. Nadal played in the Chile open, his first tournament back from injury. Stormed to the final but got beaten by the 73rd seed or something haha. Strange things.
Got a text from Teri there about booking a holiday. Wish I could but I ain't gonna have money. If I keep saving a bit I should be able to do something over the summer but not a big assed holiday. Next year I think. Still need to buy new cymbals soon. That's on my to-do list today as well. Need to research what kind of cymbals I want. I do often wonder if life will ever really be relaxing. Maybe I don't want it to be. More than it is I think though.
