Like me, she feels uncomfortable in the clothing of her ancestors.
School’s winding to an end here in Nashville. Or rather, it’s just gearing up for the last leg. I’m going to be so glad when May 3rd rolls around. I’m already excited about this summer. Instead of getting a labor or office job, I’m setting my own schedule. My overarching official goal/objective is the self-publication of a collection of creative writing. Additionally, I’m going to try to finish a novel a week. My own personal/unofficial objective is to work on my body. I’m going to get up every weekday morning at 8am and do a thirty minute run. I’ll lift weights three times a week, and work on my mace spinning after my morning run. I am also going to try to practice my clarinet five days a week for at least a half hour. So perhaps it will look something like this:
8:00-8:30am Run
8:30-9:00am Spin
9:00-10:30am Workout (MWF)
10:30-11:00am Shower
11:00-12:00pm Practice
12:00-12:45pm Lunch
12:45-2:30pm Write
2:30-5:30pm Read
5:30-6:15pm Dinner
11:00pm Bed
In addition, I will be spending the weekend of May 16th at ACen. Also, I might go to drum major camp (July 6-13 or 11-18), depending on how I do on my drum major audition coming up in two weeks. Next season there are going to be a few changes to the way the Spirit of Gold works. Instead of having a drill instructor for each section, there are going to be two for the woodwinds and two for the brass. Also, rather than having two co-drum majors, there is going to be a head drum major and an assistant drum major. I really want to get head drum major. I’m not sure I could stand being assistant drum major. After I get head dm, I need to work on getting Dr. Sagen to let us use maces. This will probably prove to be difficult because he is extremely set in his ways. However, he is occasionally very unpredictable, so perhaps he’ll be totally on board. You can never really tell with him. In the event that I don’t make drum major, Dr. Sagen has already asked me to be clarinet section leader, which is really awesome. I’m super excited about at least being that, if not dm. Wish me luck on my audition!
