Life has been busy as all hell, but for the most part it's been a lot of really good things. So far our marching shows have been going really well, classes have had a few bumps but are mostly fine. I'm really loving my conducting class so yay ( Read more... )

I have found out this summer in two totally different frames of reference that if you keep pushing yourself in some physical way, it will hurt. And if you keep pushing, it will really hurt.
