FOCUS

i leave for rocky ridge music camp in 7 days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! crazy. i need to work really hard this week. summer, thus far, has been all sorts of fun, but definitely not enough violining. i'm sure that the program will be fine. i'm looking forward to spending time with some good musicians and some mountains. all i have to do now is figure out how i'm going to get everything there.

some of the really annoying items i need to bring are:

-sleeping bag/pillow

-laundry detergent

-music stand

really? a sleeping bag and pillow? the last programs i've been to have had beds. this. is. not. good. i like camping and am 100% fine with "roughing it," but really. again, how am i supposed to fly with all of this stuff?

i went to a trombone factory today with my good friend, matt. i wanted to go see what a brass place was like. definitely different than a violin shop. nice violin places are always very fancy, bright, hardwood places that make you feel at home. this place was pretty much a big metal box that was dimly lit and just lined with trombone parts. not very homey to me. i realize that i'm a violin person, but still.
