Day 35......Time for the ironically named pits again.....

Yes thats right! Its Sunday!! So while the rest of the camp gets to spend their afternoon hanging out by the waterfront (although maybe not today, its overcast and will probs rain, ha) I get to spend 4 hours in pit rehearsals yayyyy :/ This session Im in West Side Story and Oooooo- OAK-lahoma, both of which should be fun, especially as the directors Im with are both very good at what they do and very amusing with it!! Im playing clarinet (and possibly bass clarinet) for Oaklahoma and flute, piccolo, clarinet and alto saxophone for West Side Story. There is me, the woodwinds teacher and 2 students reading off of 3 reed books so working out who plays what and where could be interesting, but hey its all part of the fun!! 4 hours is going to kill me though, then with performing arts night tonight Im going to be a zombie come 10 o'clock!!

Have just logged onto facebook and seen some photos from this years session at the summer school I worked for for the past couple of years. Its made me kind of sad, as much as last summer was really stressful I miss being there and I miss some of the people. Ive definitely come off better this year, what with being in America in a music camp, and the company clearly didnt learn from their mistakes last year as the woman who caused all the problems is in the exact same role this year (good work!) so Im definitely best off out of it! But still, I enjoyed working with the kids, and really really miss my mornings off and separate room haha, and seeing the photos has got me all nostalgic :( PLUS they gave them company hoodies this year which has massively annoyed me coz we asked for them all last year and were told we had to be cold!!! But anyways, back to the summer at hand!

Am planning to book trains and hostels for Chicago later, then once Ive got my flight to LA Im all booked as far as I can be until Julia gets to Denver and tells me its still ok for me to go there!! Exctitingly Charlotte (a girl from my cours at uni) is definitely coming to see New York with me, and has booked onto the same flight home (yayyy!!) so what with that and all the camp people who are going to be around it should be a pretty brilliant 5 days!! Time seems to be going very quickly this session, just like I was told it would do, so it should be here before I know it!!

Mum.....Ive worked out how to upload photos so Ill do that as soon as I can :)
