Prepping for my masters recital and my comprehensive exam in a few weeks š„¹
Really excited to play the Dutilleux though!!
This summer went by insanely fast š
A few years ago I didnāt think Iād make it through undergrad and now Iām a grad student with an assistantship, I just went to a party hosted by one of the biggest oboists in the US and I played in a masterclass at the international double reed conference in front of a crowd of professional oboists š§š½āāļø

Somehow ended up playing Aria and Quodlibet by Running in the grad quintet for the chamber recital tonight š„“ Their oboist tested positive for covid yesterday and asked if I could sub for him in the chamber recital. Even though it wasnāt perfect, Iām glad I was able to pull it together enough that nobody noticed Iād only gotten the music the day before.

Actual audio evidence of me not completely bombing a jury š¤Ŗ
This is the first and second movements of Evocations by Henri Tomasi, itās been a fun one to work on!
I canāt get over the fact that people actually value me and want to be friends with me ššš
I get the hurricane threw everything out of whack but I do feel like I should know when my lesson is by the 3rd week of the semester as well as the fact that Iām in two other chamber groups š„“ I just found all that out in the last 24 hours š„²
I got power back yesterday and Iām so happy, I was at my limit š so glad I didnāt have to wait as long as I expected
Other people have it worse but I really do miss hot food and lights š„² Even not having AC isnāt a huge issue because Iāve only had it in one other place Iāve lived so Iām used to being uncomfortable during the summer

I was on the verge of a mental breakdown thinking Iād have to experience my first hurricane on my own, but one of the girls from the studio said I could come to her place since she lives really close. Iām really hoping itās not as bad as itās predicted to be but itās not looking good right now
Update: still havenāt gotten to the worst of it but where I am is out of the direct path of the storm. Itāll still be bad, but not the devastation I was expecting up until today. I just feel bad for the areas in the middle of it and New Orleans doesnāt have power from what Iāve seen.

Nothing like a hurricane to wrap up the first week of school š„²
I havenāt even been in grad school a week but the concept of being able to personalize my classes and only take things Iām truly interested in is so freeing
