this is not one of those times.
Hahaha! Just kidding! No but seriously I am inspired.
I haven't shared yet, but I am a music major at my college and I love it, but boy is it a crazy life! You'd think that after three years of this I would get used to it or come up with great procrastination prevention ideas...but sadly that is not the case.
For instance this was my day today...
4:00 AM- Scared half to death from a "Dream" plaque that my best friend Aztec gave me. For some reason I thought your basic push pin would hold it up...guess not.
6:00 AM- First alarm goes off
6:15 AM- Second alarm goes off...this time it's one of the annoying chime ones so that I feel obligated to get up and make it stop
6:20 AM- finally wake up and start to get ready, much to my dismay
7:45 AM- leave house for 8 AM Music History class
7:46 AM- realize that my ice scraper is broken so I resort to scraping off the inch of ice on my windshield with my Fame CD case
7:50 AM- Finally get to class and proceed to learn about classical string quartets... exhilarating let me tell ya
8:50 AM- done with class and hang out with friends till my next class while trying to prepare a presentation for said class...yeah that didn't work out
10:10 AM- Contemporary Issues in Music Education class
11:15 AM- Teaching General Music in the Secondary Levels class
12:20 PM- Concert Choir...where I proceed to mess up our french songs with great enthusiasm
1:25 PM- Finally come home and eat a tortilla...yeah I'm poor what can I say
2:00 PM- Attempt to prepare for my first opera coaching
3:00 PM- Go to the music library to get the music for the lead sheet I need to prepare for tomorrow
3:35 PM- First opera coaching! I've been in opera all three years at college, but this year I got three roles in our spring productions, so I'm a little busy...
5:00 PM- Come home and start on my jazz lead sheet
5:15 PM- Realize that my lead sheet will be a lot harder to write than I intended on it being
5:45 PM- Give up on the lead sheet, to come back at a later time
6:00 PM- Cement my butt on the couch to start mindless surfing on my laptop
Which brings us to now...so yeah. Those procrastination prevention ideas aren't coming along as well as I thought they would.
However I did see this amazing video on my "second mom's" blog of Bobby McFerrrin that brought my inspiration full circle. So in attempt to inspire you all and hopefully make me procrastinate less...here is one of my favorite Bobby McFerrin videos. PS I saw him in concert and it was probably one of the best concerts I have been to in my entire life! If he is ever in your town, GO SEE HIM!!!
Now I shall go work on my lead sheet...but first I need to watch my Monday night television shows...
