Apr. 28th, 2004 09:05 amWow yesterday was very extreme day - I kept plugging away at my World Music exam, slowly - it just isn't getting done fast enough. I feel completely overwhelmed and incapable of doing what has to be done. It makes me cry - ALOT. I normally battle with a low-grade case of insecurity - something about this exam process has just kicked in into overdrive.
And then I found out that the folks in Santa Clarita hadn't realized that I needed a ride to the concert that I played last night. Panic ensued for quite a few hours (didn't get any exams written then). I was thrown into complete meltdown mode - there was much shouting and gnashing of teeth. I called quite a few people I thought might want to hear some lovely music last night and all of them had other things to do and couldn't be my chauffer. Finally L calls and says that her friend![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
deang was going up from the south bay and might be willing to pick me up. It turns out he was willing to pick me up and go to the concert even though he had an upset tummy.
So I made the concert by the skin of my teeth - actually I had 10 minutes to set up and warm up before going on stage. The piece (a vivaldi trio sonata) went really well, L's whole recital went quite well and it turns out deang is my kinda folks. I think I can thank the universe that it all came together because I feel like I had absolutely nothing to do with it.
And L's teacher Alan Vogel liked my playing! He told me so, and told Laura "wow - I've never heard a baroque bassoon played well before!" It made my day.
Oh oh and L had South African hard cider at her reception - it was so yummy!
