Not so briefly

I am in the process of trying to write 5 short essays. I'm terrible at writing when it matters (or when a grade depends on it). I have beautiful music playing in the background, my shoulders are extremely painful and tight from my dance class today. I am sick, but not in the normal way that most people get sick. I feel fine, other than the fact that I want to sleep all day, and my head feels like it could explode at any minute (but it's not a constant feeling...it's just weird!). I won't go into all of the weird and bad things that have happened over the past couple of days. But, I want to say that I had an amazing eperience last night.
I am in a woodwind quintet this year. I have never really played in a full quintet before. In my hopes of persuing grad school, this is just one thing that makes me feel closer to that idea. Last night the oboist and bassoonist of the quintet and I drove up to Logan for a concert put on by a group called "Imani Winds." They were phenomenal! I don't have time to delve into the performances, but I truly enjoyed the night. Oh, and apparently Craig Jessop was sitting right in front of us. I wanted so badly to just tap him on the shoulder, introduce myself and shake his hand. But, he was busy and that would have been a little embarassing anyways. But, he was right there :)
Today I got called into the office of the director of one of the choirs that I'm in. Now, it has been a dream of mine to accompany even just one song in this choir (I have had the opportunity to accompany other choirs, but this one in particular was on the top of the list). Today I got put on the path to acheiving that dream. I cannot express how happy this makes me! I was so sick/tired when he talked to me that I couldn't even clap my hands in rejoicement (is that a word?). But, as I walked down the hall I realized what a great thing this is for me. This is most definately my last year, if not semester in this choir. To be able to do something I have always wanted to do (well, since I knew about the choir's existence) is just an amazing feeling. YAY! :) I hope I don't screw up this wonderful opportunity!
