The Long Day

What a rather long yet productive day. Starting early this morning I braved Low Brass class and emerged victorious over the trombone. In Music Theory I faced the challenge of analyzing a very hard piece as well as a few moral and emotional challenges, but I believe I overcame them as well.

This afternoon I ran over to the DMV and got my license renewed, which turned out to be rather quick and painless. This is good because it had been expired for over a month!

Tonight I played a gig with Jazz Ensemble I over at the coffeehouse in the student union. We had a decent crowd and I really had a fun time playing. I'm looking forward to the concert on Thursday. Everyone should come see, it's going to be a lot of fun.

In all the busyness of the day, I ended up getting a little stressed. However I managed to remember life lesson number two:

"For peace of mind, resign as general manager of the universe"

After I remember this I gave up trying to take on everything and everyone and just relaxed and worried about myself. However, I was able to do this and still show compassion and understanding for others.

Well, I'm exhausted so I think I'll head to bed. As always,

May God Keep you This and Every Night
