I went down to Columbus the other day to audition for the Columbus Symphony. I played okay...I was pretty nervous so my bow was extra bouncy and my vibrato was too tight. Lucky for me, all the people who were "judging" were violinists. YAY. The coordinator lady said that those were the only people available for the auditions. If the people who are usually there were available, there would've been like a cellist and a trombonist and a percussionist, but noooo...all violinists, and I HAD to play the most played violin concerto EVER. Oh well.

Anyways, I went right after Daniel (we didn't know that was gonna happen), and afterwards, we went to Houlahans with Marcellino. When our waitress came by, I ordered a Long Island Ice Tea...and THEN she asked me if I wanted a PITCHER for a dollar more. It was only $6!! I was like, "Um...HELL YES...please." Yeah...it was big. I had the whole thing (with Daniel's help), but I didn't feel much.

After that, we went to Walmart to buy some things for Daniel's new apartment. He got some shower stuff, blah, blah, blah...and then we went into the nursery, and he got a plant. When I say plant, I don't mean a little pot of marigolds. I mean, a PLANT, like a fucking palm tree. Actually, I think he said it was a fern. We named it Fanny the Fern (I hope she's still alive).

Yesterday, I went downtown for a meeting for student teaching. After the meeting, we had another mini-meeting with our advisors, and THAT meeting was starting to piss me off a little bit. People were bringing up stuff about how the education program could improve, why teachers have left and how fucked up everything is right now. Yeah, guys...it's really gonna help complaining to the new guys about that. Like they know anything.
