I've been traveling to school all this week. I found a transit route where I catch a train in Puyallup (right across the river from where we live) at 6:30 AM, arrive at King Station in Seattle at 7:15, walk about 4 blocks, then catch a rapid bus which drops me off right behind the school at around 8:00. This is a very good thing. The same trip takes me between 90 minutes and 2 hours when I drive, and that's on the freeway with other drivers which I despise. The commute is awesome, and very economical. For $8 I can ride the commuter train, light rail, busses, and ferries all I want for a 24-hour period. I arrive at school feeling very much less stressed than the days I drive.
The recording session is only 2 days away and I'm really starting to feel, well, everything about it I guess. I'm thrilled and exhilarated and apprehensive and terrified. It's always scary to put myself out there creatively. I'm putting my creative soul on display for a room full of extraordinarily talented musicians who do this for a living, many of whom have recorded music for the likes of John Williams, Hans Zimmer, Jerry Goldsmith. It's intimidating! My imposter syndrome is in overdrive right now! Breathe! I got this! I have every right to be where I am with this group of people at this time and am fully deserving of the respect and accolades of my fellow students as well as the professional musicians who will be playing my music on Friday.
EEEK!
I'll let you know how it goes.
