a totally spontaneous (cough cough) picture of my friends walking to lunch after rehearsal. robin, robbie, rachel, trudi, tom. we were coming from a relatively pleasant rehearsal because the many-conductors-of-the-st. matthew thing means that it's not all myrtle all the time these days and that is nice.
i was in a good mood pretty much all of yesterday. even when i left campus. that was primarily due to the conducting lesson i had just given. because a.) my student, sia, is awesome and smart and sweet so pleasant to spend an hour with and b.) i like teaching! it makes me feel good about what i know and what i'm doing.
oh! and the other good mood-inducing thing from yesterday was that matt and i got the evaluation of our post-tonal presentation and our grade was an A+. +!!! seriously. hi, we're in grad school and we got an A+. you know what this means, right? it means that we're AWESOME!
but really, what it has me thinking about is this eternal question of potential. i've always wondered... well, you know. i do well in school. but i am all about procrastination and last minute and staying up all night and blahdyblah. and then i get As and i wonder why i was so worried. and then i do it again. and i always wonder, if i get an A on a paper with essentially one night's work, what would happen if i were all organized and did my work ahead of time and really thought it through? i feel like working with matt gave me a bit of insight into that. nice.
