It's late and I work very early tomorrow, so I should go straight to bed, but I won't.
My piano student performed an amazing recital tonight.... ok she sang instead of playing piano... so I don't get any of the credit... but it sounded good to say... Anyway Jenn, you did an amazing job tonight!
Afterwards I went to a party... I haven't partied much this year... and not even to say that I let loose tonight.. cause I was driving and barely had one drink over the course of the evening, but I did have a good time. People started to play poker, but that didn't hold interest... then I started dealing blackjack... I think I have found my true calling.... if not playing it and winning millions... then dealing it!
It was super fun... and I was totally feeding off of the crazy wonderful energy of my crazy wonderful friend Amy who can get quite competitive -in a great way. Definately this summer soon... or maybe as a going away party for myself, I want to get some people together and head out to the casino for some blackjack fun! It won't be as fun as tonight or in Vegas with the pool of free liquor... but it will be a good time.
I've been realizing the last few days that I'm now seeing some people for the last time before I move away.
I said a preemptive goodbye to the music librarian today. There have been two of them since I started.... always helping me - I'm fairly clueless when trying to use books and information... One of them left about a month ago and I don't have any real reason to go back to the library now that I'm done.
Tomorrow is a normal day at the ballet... exams are done, so there will be new music and new exercises for the kiddies. It's an exciting time of the year for the dance world. Classes that are working towards exams just repeat the necessary exercises over and over so they are clear and concrete for the students... but now they can work on new stuff! A lot of the time, they start early on the technique that will come up in the next level.. in simpler forms - so it's a time of forward motion. It's kind of like the beginning of a new year BUT it has all the momentum of the current year. It also means I get to do a lot more improvising! I think though I will use more sheet music the rest of this year so that I get better at sightreading.
