Things are looking better right now. Bill and I have been having a lot of good long talks lately, and we're both realizing that some things need to change. It's not going to be an overnight fix, but as long as we're both willing to work at it, we'll be okay. This is just a hard time for both of us, and we both started freaking out at the same time, but now that we know that we're both still in this, we're both feeling better about things.
Today is my last Symphonic Wind Ensemble concert. As much as some people hate SWE and can't stand Dr. Reynolds (myself included sometimes), this concert is going to be really sad for me. Somehow, SWE is the one and only thing I've stuck with all four years of college, and in many ways, it's made me more of a musician than lessons with Gilley ever did. It's going to be a little sad to have to leave the ensemble. I'm really hoping that wherever I end up next year, I'll still be able to play in a community band or something. I really love being in ensembles, I just don't like playing solos and taking flute lessons. Maybe if I had started taking lessons when I started playing in 4th grade I would have liked it a little more. In any case, having my last SWE concert is just another step in leaving UD. Sad day.
