and Thursday wasn't too bad either.
I continued my tour of the colleges, and am now waiting to hear back from Robinson, though I'll probably not go there either way. Probably.
I have a new* Saturday job : ) Doing something fun, that I want to do. Part of said job: keeping 'celli loved and in tune.
*well, a Saturday job. I realise I've not actually had one before
And I got a Rather Interesting e-mail on Friday. I think it implies more food.
Saturday, not so much. I started off in the same bouncy mood, including a brilliant trip to the sorting office, then it fell. Roughly at the same time as Baby. Didn't really pick up until the jazz concert. Which was rather good. And we got a mention ; )
Today, I hope it'll be back to Friday's mood. I'm not quite there yet, but between now and 5 I have Hannah, tea, nattering, sushi, and OotH.
BEETHOVEN 3.
(And some other brilliant pieces: Saint-Saens Cello Concert 1, and Rimsky-Korsakov's Russian Easter Festival Overture. But BEETHOVEN SYMPHONY 3!!!)
Muchly excited.

Survived.
Recently, I went for an interview.
It was quite scary.
Several of my friends have received a Giant run down of events, but they're not important now. Now I just have to forget that the whole thing happened. I mean, there's no way I could have got it! I can't afford to build my hopes up. It will be an awesome thing if I do then get the gig.
But hey, that's in April.
Joy.
So now, just pottering round, looking for other jobs and whatnot. Have started to crochet again - piano scarf here I come!
On a similar note (pun!), I've started playing piano again : ) I may have learned how to play "Time" from Inception. Zimmer is rather good. I also saw a brilliant version of "Dream is Collapsing" arranged for solo piano, and desparately wish I had the music / ears to work it out.

Things of different varieties.
Some are terrifying.
Some should not affect me as much as they do.
Some sound brilliant.
Some I really don't want to happen.
Some are addictive.
Some I should not be as hung up on.
Some I am jealous of.
Some I love.
Some I hate.
Some are dinosaurs.
In slow mo.
They're the best.

My days..
..are currently all about the harp, and learning Japanese. [edit: Oh, and the Inception soundtrack : ) "Dream is Collapsing" is wonderful]
I've spent close to 4 hours each evening playing, and I'd really like to see what I could achieve by devoting this much time to it every day. The reason for the intense sessions at the moment is because I'm playing at a drinks reception on Saturday evening, and need to get back up to scratch - last term was definitely a 'cello term!
Japanese is something I've wanted to learn since I was about 11, but I didn't really ever know where to start with it. Now I do. I have a plan to go over there in the near future as well. I've found that deadlines help me to actually get on and do the work. I tend towards procrastination.
I think that applies to the harp as well.
Maybe I'll go play now..
