Welcome to adulthood. Don't sweat it too much. I'm learning even now to "just let it go." It's okay if your To Do list runs like an NYSE ticker. It's a good indicator that you're alive. And quite the apropos weekend to be reminded of that life. Hang in there, ffocus on the BEST things, and don't sweat the petty things....Don't pet the sweaty things either!</p> Hey Matt.

I'm glad you enjoyed the last concert!</p> <p>As for not having chances, you're right, but I haven't had time away from playing since...well, 4th grade. That's 14 years of being involved with it. Not playing all summer usually renews my appreciation of it, but this last concert was particularly taxing, and this upcoming one is about 20 pieces I would rather not play (showtunes, mostly). :) I trust our director implicitly, but sometimes I just wish we'd pick a new symphony and work on that instead of trying to learn (or relearn) 20+ pieces for a concert in Indianapolis so we can sell tickets to pay for a $10,000+ singer to come sing for a night. Don't we have vocal groups at Purdue? But I digress...</p> I’m the principal cellist. I’m glad you enjoyed the last concert!

I really enjoyed the last concert.</p> <p>This might help motivate: Once you leave school, you won't have many chances to play. Take advantage of it while you can.</p> What do you play in the Symphony? I really enjoyed the last concert.
