It Got Me!!

Yup it got me! I am sick. I have been fighting it for more than 4 days and I was not strong enough to overcome it. Last night I got home at 10 still having to eat and to call my mom so it was 11 until I finally went upstairs to go to sleep. Unfortunately I couldn’t fall asleep right away even though I only had about 7 more hours to sleep. Too many thoughts had to be thought of. During the night I woke up at least 20 times. Totally soaked by sweat and therefore freezing. I tucked myself more into my blanket but it didn’t help much. At one point (it was 3 am) I changed my pjs because I couldn’t stand the wetness anymore. Those got wet in no time as well. When it was time to get up I finally felt comfortable in bed but at that time it was too late. Now I am sitting in the train with a headache, weak (so that I can even feel the strength it takes to type :) ) and tired.
That is all for the negative part. The positive things are that I was really early for my train today. I had to WAIT for 10 mins. I get to meet my fellow students and I get to check out three new classes. I can go home in the afternoon because I have a 5 hour break until rehearsals start. Oh yeah, I haven’t mentioned that I went to the auditions for the academic orchestra and actually made it! I mean, I went there because my teacher told me I had a chance, but after listening to everybody else I was pretty certain I would not make it. They played much harder music than I did and I messed up so badly in my audition. I wasn’t satisfied with the result at all. But what I figured after thinking about it, they didn’t care so much about the tones being on pitch but about the technique one uses and the tone quality one produces and that I know how to do. It took a total of 2 hours until everyone was done and after that I went back to the KG II to chat with friends.
Being a student will be exhausting.
