Yeah, I'm not sure why I'm up this late, but I am. I was in a cleaning
mood, so I guess that might be it. I did laundry and cleaned my room,
so I am being productive at 4 am.

Let's see, I got a new
goldfish the other day to be friends with the other one (Ludwig Van
Goldfish). I named the new one D'mitri Shastakofish. How fun! I have a
snail too, but I just call it Ma.

I got a tamagotchi last night
and it's so much fun! Everyone should get one. I can't wait to have
money to get new clothes, my closet is full old out of style
stuff...and tshirts. I don't have many casual stuff, which I'll be
wearing when I start teaching at the Collierville Music Academy.

I'm
so excited about teaching, there is nothing that brings me greater joy
than teaching the horn, something I love, to other people, so that they
may love it as well. I'm probably going to have around 5 or 6 kids to
start off. I'm hoping that at the end of the semester I can do a little
CMA horn studio recital and be all like "Hi parents, this is what I've
done to your children" and have something quite nice for them.

So
thanks to Sr. Dan, I have lots of stuff to practice this week, which
makes me happy because it will encourage me to go in my practice room.
Sometimes I feel like I don't cut it as a performance major, and then
other times I do. I know when I work on this stuff, and work on it
everyday like I negect doing, I will become much better at my
instrument, meaning I'll become a better performer. Yay!

I'm so excited about the new music theory books, I can't tell everyone that enough. I love them.
