yay for thursdays

tomorrow is thursday, yay! coming home day.

today was kind of irritating. a lot of meetings. ended with an all team (200 people) meeting in a room that was too small. at least i got a seat. it was supposed to be 2 hours long but lasted an hour and a half, so i ran back to my room and warmed up for a while, then hopped in a cab to go to my lessons. this week i arranged for the cabbie to come pick me up at 6:45 so i wouldn't have to wait.

lesson was good again. lots more work on breathing plus vibrato exercises. he lent me a cd too, so i just ripped it so i'll have it for future use. we did some weird things with allowing air into my cheeks (or one cheek at least) when i'm playing. i feel like a balloon. we watched some of a julias baker video to prove that's what he did, so it must be good, right? :)

the poulenc 2nd mvt is sounding a lot better. i need to become more consistant with my breaths and phrasing. i really like it. the 1st mvt actually got a lot better today. maybe i'll work on that with him a little next week. i'm also doing a handel sonata. they're fun and full of lots of tonguing, so i know i'll be working on that.

i'm watching baseball right now. it's feeling like bedtime is close too.
