Thinking up titles for these posts is getting difficult. On my personal journal it doesn't matter so much, but I'm trying to keep this blog at least a little bit professional.This week I have been practising and doing paperwork, mostly. I found a part-time job to apply for, and did so. I don't know that I'll get it, but I think I'm in with a chance. I also dreamed up a job here in the Trinity...

Sweden was wonderful! Except for losing my phone, and being delayed on the way back which cost me three and a half hours of teaching. Oops. On the whole it really was lovely, though; I spent time with a good friend, and got to play in the snow, and ate lots of good fish. I didn't end up using the practise horn while I was there as it was a bit loud but buzzing on the mouthpiece for a while every...

Creative Business in the Digital EraSeminar by Open Rights Group(Written offline: 2008-03-17-19:30)I went to this seminar today.

I got up early enough and worked on it. I left the house, came here, and I'm working on it. This irks me because I really like to get some solid practising in between 8am and 10am, and today I will be unable to do...

Today I woke up, inexplicably, at 5am. Ugh. I got up, washed henna out of my hair, pottered around a bit and got in to practise at my usual time.Practising went much better this morning than yesterday. I've had a look at what I need to do for my end-of-year exam. It's a matter of lots of orchestral extracts, lots of scales, and one piece. The choice of pieces is actually rather narrow, which is...

Life has been busy. Sorting out housing has moved along several steps but it still isn't finished. Highlights include the old agent being verbally abusive and threatening, a small electrical fire in the bathroom (nobody hurt thank goodness), and a distinct lack of internet access. I'm not impressed. I really do like the area I live in now, but I do not think I will stay in that flat after my...
