i keep thinking that im like. doing fine. but then i realize that i have about two weeks (or less) to:

fully memorize and finish prepping my concerto for string juries

memorize jazz standards and have an orchestral excerpt all the way ready for bass juries

learn and memorize my piece for my piano class

co-write a 5 page paper and give a presentation for a group project

be able to play a Mozart symphony well for orchestra

be able to play all 4 of the tunes for my jazz band (i am not good at many of them)

umm. i also probably have some assignments and an exam for my music theory class. but that is like the only class that im not actually worried about right now.

#constance speaks #look. it is a lot of things to do. for sure. luckily i will get some good practicing time in over the next couple weeks.#i am Extremely worried about juries but i know that i will do the best i am able to do so. hopefully thats good enough.#for most of these its like. yes i need to work on them and do better than im doing right now. but i will be fine.#but for piano... yeesh.#i purposefully chose a piece that has as little overlap between the hands as possible #(basically. i cannot play both hands at the same time very well.)#and so its decently well-suited to what i'm able to do but. i can play hands separate decently well at a somewhat steady tempo #thats slower than it should be but like. passably slower.#but i still cant put hands together. and i am nowhere near having it memorized.#i dunno what im gonna do for this class. honestly.#the GOOD NEWS IS that in about 2 weeks. everything except juries is done. for better or worse.#i only have class tomorrow. 2 days of classes next week.#and then one final week of classes (which is gonna be. insane i have so many concerts.)#and my juries are early on in the next week so.#i'm in the final stretch. at what cost.
