I can do this! I just have to hold out a bit longer... *Digs in claws*

I had 2 lessons today. I had an early lesson with Gordon Fitzell. I showed him my orchestra piece and we started working on it. He said "I wasn't expecting to see this many notes!, Normally when people have a tight time schedule they are a bit more restraint in their use of the orchestra". I didn't know what to say. Was that a warning? haha, I don't think I don't think I am capable of restraint. We then discussed the fact that I don't have to prove that I have a penis through brash orchestral textures. Do women write wussy music? Not only are there very few woman composers, but their music is often attacked for being too restrained. Obviously this is not always the case. .. But Still. It makes for good conversation.

DM and I puzzled about various problems I had gotten myself into. He turned the page to reveal a page filled with blank space, and looked over it for a few seconds and said "Oh yeah... I think they will be very good at this part I'll be fine" I couldn't tell if he was joking because he said it so causally. I just looked at him, and said "did you just have a stroke?" We both had a good laugh. DM can be funny, but I always get caught off guard by his strange sense of humor.

Kathy Yeo made fun of DM's sweater today in class. He always wears these crazy sweaters with weird images woven in. This one was covered in little girls in green dresses. I was whispering about it to Kathy about it and I think I made her pee her pants because she was trying so hard not to laugh.

Tomorow is more work. I am going to drop off my parks Canada Job acceptance forms. Oh yeah! Dave might be working at LFG! HAHAHA! I bet he would be great upprclass! He is a good actor, he could shake his cane and insult the workers. I'll help him get ready for his interview. I just hope he dosen't get sucked into the fort culture... I know Dave likes a good party.
