Five days!?
Dec. 5th, 2008 04:29 pmI've been puttering around this week, taking in the last days of classes for the semester. Suddenly, I look up, and my pills (which I counted around 6-7 earlier) are gone, then I come here and it says I haven't posted in five days. What happened?
Some interesting stuff has happened lately. I slipped back into my schedule with nary a ripple on the surface of my little pond. On Wednesday my alarms either did not go off or I completely missed them and I missed my first class of the day (boo). Thursday, after quite a bit of texting in order to arrange a rehearsal of a duet I was to play on Friday...my finger hurt. I realize this seems trivial, but I'm a violin player. Violinists require their fingers to be in good shape and painless like football players need their arms. Being a good little student, I told my teacher about the pain. (It came from nowhere. I hadn't jammed or cut or otherwise injured it.) She recognized it as a symptom of a larger problem and ordered me to not play the violin for five days.
I'm on a rest cure, which I was rather sad about. Honestly, it is hard to deal with the fact that I can't practice or play in my lesson or orchestra or the band. She actually excused me from orchestra, which I have not missed all year. It startles me that she has such power.
Never mind that string juries are in two weeks. I don't mind being lazy, this is my basic nature, but it does stress me out if there is something coming up (darn juries).
In other news, I did knit past the halfway mark on the afghan. I've just finished the 15th square. Congratulate me, I'm productive.
One more day of classes left, I get to practice again on Tuesday, conditionally, and then we have finals for the next two weeks. Ridiculous, I hope Christmas break goes well.
And that is all, dear ones.

P.S. Those mittens and other knitting/crochet projects I've talked about? They're all on flickr, a photo-sharing site. The address is: http://www.flickr.com/photos/28962492@N04/sets/. Enjoy!
