And I'm off (I'm off, I'm off)! To see the Wizard (To see the Wizard).

I love it when my head decides to make up music; it makes life much more fun. In twelve hours or so, I shall be at the airport, probably waiting in line at security or some such nonsense. I'm almost completely packed, meaning, all the really essential stuff is there and all the mostly unessential stuff is there, and now I have to find the somewhat important stuff and find a way to cram it in my already full suitcase. I have deliberately over-packed clothes-wise, because I felt so deprived in Vienna. It will not happen again! Most of it is really cute.

I managed to surprise myself. Without buying any new black clothes, I have four completely black ensembles that are reasonably fashionable (and three more that aren't, but I'm not bringing those). This leaves me slightly stunned. I knew I've been in an orchestra since I was ten, but I've only started doing the fashionable thing in the past three years. This makes me feel that I'm going to be very well dressed in a few years.

Knitting news! I have officially finished the kerchief of doom. I even uploaded pictures (I finally found my cable), but they are not on Flickr yet. I haven't edited them to look pretty because I got distracted by organizing all my photos. Soon, my pretties. Soon.
I think my next project will be...I can't decide, dang it. Either the baby thing or a pineapple doily for which I got this lovely bamboo crochet thread (soft...yum). The pineapple doily is probably more portable, which is important because I'll be traveling across the country for four hours, and it isn't fun to haul around a big project. Still, I'm totally bringing the baby thing's yarn, pattern, and needles with me (I may be horribly over-estimating my free time, but the projects I fill it with will be good stuff). Did I tell y'all (this particular use of the apostrophe comes from LiveJournal, which hates its own name) that I got yarn for the baby thing? I got yarn for the baby thing! It's wonderful soft cotton, but in two colors because I couldn't find enough in the color I originally wanted.

Now, I just have to practice violin, decide whether to bring any quartet or trio music, get a project going (I hate starting things mid-flight), and make sure I'm not leaving important stuff behind. Oh, and eat. 

Send prayers for a good flight (and no lost luggage, my life is in that suitcase).

Hey there, what have you done today? I realize that Central time zone people will just be approaching noon as I write this, but surely you've gotten something done? Yes? Sigh. No? Me either. Well, I got up 10:30-ish, read blogs, did HW on the U-bahn, had an hour and a half lesson, talked with my teacher for fifteen minutes, and, having just finished reading two (three?) months of knitting blog archives, am writing this. 
The plan was to do HW, have a lesson, do more HW and go to the Prater, which is an amusement park of sorts. I still have about four hours in which to do this. But not a lot of Homework has been done. (The lesson went fine today, I am getting a handle on handling Barbara). 
I feel as though this may be how I spend my next Friday as well unless something drastic is done. Drastic, drastic, hmm... Go to the grocery store? No... Go to the Prater and possibly don't do Homework? Maybe... Do Homework and go to the Prater as planned, thus fulfilling every idea I had today. Wait, I can do that? 
I know this was boring, but don't despair. I am going to an opera (Capriccio) tomorrow night. And Sunday I will be writing a paper. Monday will be the day of my defeat or triumph in playing the Mozart Concerto for Performance Workshop which is preperation for Thursday (the wonderful and anticipated solo recital). Tuesday the paper is due, and Wednesday we will go on a Music History field trip to Beethoven's haunts (I sense a U-Bahn ride). Thursday will be the wonderful and much-anticipated solo recital (I didn't tell you which way the anticipation is leaning, now did I?). 
Through this entire nerve-racking, soul destroying much-planned-for week, I will be here, telling you what I believe happened. Because we all see the world in entirely different ways. One person's hilarious mistake is another person's little push into insanity. Hmm, I seem to be on the serious side of things today. That is okay, the end is nigh (two weeks left), and I can't wait to be done. And I don't want to leave knowing I screwed this up. 

So wish me luck (and tell me when you read this! The Livejournal time/space continuum must be mapped) and I'll see you all sooner or later.
