YO... scott here... just taking a quick break from my ALL-NIGHT study-a-thon... i'm in the computer lab @ andy holt. Been really stressed out about this test and my impending paper/organic labs that are due monday. HOPEFULLY jordan is gonna talk to a guy in band at MJ to get him to "sub" for me for his eagle ceremony. Its a long story, but there is a brass quartet that i said i would play in, but then had to cancel because of my cousins ceremony being the same day in knoxville... but then a week before the day in question, my cousin cancells and then i was free to do jordans thing again,,.... but after being under the impression that i would get to stay in knoxville (for my cousins thing) and thinking i would have plenty of time to do the papers in my spare knoxville time...i realized that i was in trouble. I have the frisbee tourney on sat. morning followed by the O and W game that several of my relatives are comming to (90% of their desire to come being to see todd and i in band)... that means that after the game i would need to get in my car and drive to nashville... sleep...get up sunday... go to church... eat lunch... do the eagle thing (starts at 2) probably get out of MJ by around 4 that afternnon, and return to Kville by 7:30 eastern time. Doesnt exactly leave me much leisure time sunday night to do a good job of... ANYTHING. So i have asked josh to try to find a sub for me because i just cant do it... but he couldnt find anyone... so i reluctantly say that i will keep my promise and do it... and then i was talking to my mom and she was asking about this comming weekend and i tell her what all is going on, and she already knows how bad my semester has been for organic and western civ, and she basically told me that my work was more important and that i had no choice but to let josh down and tell him that i cant do the quartet. I didnt really want to do that, so i thought and i saw jordan online and told him i was in a real tight spot and if he knew anyone, and he said there was another trombone player at school that could play the part if it wasnt too hard. I look on josh's computer at the music and its almost all quarter notes and half notes with afew 8th notes.... all in the staff stuff... really easy. I probably could have played it easy when i was a freshman in highschool... so i present this to josh, and he seems dissapointed... and so i feel bad because i feel like this is the last shot i have at getting out of this without anyones feelings getting hurt and i cant even seem to do that.... he says he worries about the quality of the performance... which i UNDERSTAND... but it just seemed so easy (except for the 1st part which i guess he is gonna play?)... i dont think there is any way for this kid to blow it... especially if he has the hour beforehand to look at it. I finially put my thoughts in writing and show josh because i didnt think i was doing a good job telling him how important it was for me to be in knoxville.... He is cool with it now that he gets where i am comming from and says it will be fine if the MJ kid can do it in my place (which takes a HUGE HUGE load off me that i feel like i've had to carry around 24/7 the last few days).... now i just pray that he is available (oh please oh please)... i'm sure something will work out. Well its back to studying for me... i'm ALMOST comfortable with this stuff... but almost comfortable doesnt make A's...
I'm sure half of my words were not spelled correctly... but i'm on a different computer and its 5:45 AM so cut me some slack,....
Peace, love, and DCI... ScOtT
