pooped

I am soooo tired. My everything hurts. Fingers, feet, neck, arms, back. I don't believe I've ever felt so worn out from sitting for 6 hours a day. Doesn't hurt things that I went to see my new savior Ms. Nancy after rehearsal today to get all my kinks worked out!

Seriously, I knew I'd have a lot of stuff to learn, but seriously? Seriously. SERIOUSLY!?! (those informed readers will know the reference) I have to stop practicing now not because I've accomplished everything I need to (not sure if that's even possible), but because my body will not let me get up in the morning if I don't watch it on the bench.

I love the orchestra. Things are super-friendly and while there are jaded individuals, most are genuinely happy. I've already learned a lot, and can't wait to see what the next 9 months bring!
