Week 5 - Redemption!

I was able to redo the assignment I bombed and got my grade back this morning, 23/24 A! Very relieved for the grade change, but even more so that I understand the concept. Because it was a redo, the grade was dropped a full letter to B, but I'll take a B over an F any day of the week and twice on Sunday!

Film Music History this week is The Pink Panther, score by Henry Mancini! 

Crazy studying for Midterms this week, big theory test on Friday, lots of memorizations and analyses. 

Maybe I'll get to sleep Friday night. :-) 

Also, Digital Performer officially crashes more than any application I've ever used. Zero stars, do not recommend.

Haven't had conducting for 2 weeks now, it seems to be the red-headed step child this semester. Too bad, I like conducting. I'll get to conduct a small string ensemble around Thanksgiving. Final semester I'l be in front of 55 professional musicians playing and recording music I freaking wrote! 

I have moments of doubt as time moves on; this adventure is thrilling, and terrifying, and uncertain. Today, however, I know I am right where I am supposed to be doing exactly what I am supposed to do, and that is comforting.

This feels good!
