sigmastolenSo yesterday I added an extra "walk 30 min" to my training program, in the hopes that not doing nothing on Sunday would make Monday easier. I.... am not sure whether it worked. Today was still a little difficult, but that is not unexpected since today was sets of 5:1. The first one was a breeze, the second one was harder, and two minutes into the third one my legs were all, "actually we're done now" so I walked the rest of that set and took the opportunity to use my inhaler, since breathing was feeling a little tight. The fourth set was... better. I got tired again in the middle, and ended up walking about the middle minute and then running to finish the set, and I ran all of the final set but it was haaaaaaard and I was motivated mostly by the knowledge that it was the last one and I was almost back at my flat. I'm glad I have another chance at 5:1 on Wednesday.
Additionally, it is much much harder to motivate myself to run when I have to be up before dawn to do it. No, seriously, it was still dark when I set out at 6:20 this morning. And I will have 8am classes just about every day, I think, which means I should probably set my alarm for 5:45 so I can be out the door at 6, because today I got to campus more around 8:15 - 8:20 (which was fine for today since the orientation thing was at 8:30 but still). Aaaaaaaaaaaaarg. CAN NOT HAS SLEEP :C
OH OH KITTY STORY
This morning, Baxter arched his back and puffed up his tail and hopped sideways towards the open bathroom door (the bedroom was darkened, but the bathroom light and fan were on, as well as I think the shower -- I was getting my slippers or something). I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THAT WAS ABOUT. Especially since after 3 or 4 hops, he sat down in the doorway and curled his tail -- STILL PUFFED -- around his feet like nothing happened. WTF BAXTER. WTF. IT WAS SO WEIRD.
And also! My contrabassoon audition was moved to next week because they finally realised that they have more people trying to audition than they have time slots that evening. Which is fine, since I'm sure I'm the only one auditioning on contra anyway and I'm definitely the only one that for sure plays contra and I'm sure I'll be The Contra Player again, which is fine. I'm mostly doing the contra audition to learn the excerpts and get comments, so that's cool, it's not important for placement. It does make me wish, though, that I could take that extra week of time to work on the regular bassoon materials, because they are harder and I am bad at working things to faster tempi. Also I am a bad bad girl and have taken several days off practising them because maybe I guess I LIKE shooting myself in the foot. I dunno. I think I talked enough about it last night. W/E.
p.s. i juuuuuuust splashed some moderately-large drops of coffee on my (new!) jeans. *put-upon sigh* typical. At least it wasn't hot.
p.p.s. NTS: to purchase: printer cartridge, half-and-half.
