Thesis Writing

Sitting in my favorite coffee shop, watching the hustle and bustle of the customers, thinking about what I should be doing (more on that in a minute), and enjoying my moment of relaxation.  I decided this morning that I need to take more time to intentionally relax.  I think that will only make me a better conductor... and a better person.  I know that I have a tendency to be too worried about things.  I have said this before- most of the time I am okay with that.  But sometimes it's not such a good thing.  I almost think I should focus on the excitement of things rather than how I will do.

At any rate, today I am going to watch some videos of people conducting King David.  I could do that this morning, although my score is not in front of me.  I could also do it this afternoon when I get home.    So we'll see if I finish this entry and watch videos of people conducting without my score or wait until this afternoon.

I did write another chapter of my thesis (so now I have two down), but I can't promise that it is of high quality.  That's okay since it's just a rough draft and I don't have to turn it in until the last week in January.  Tuesday I'll attempt to start on the next chapter- now it becomes an analysis of my piece.  My teacher told me to limit my paper to 20 pages.  Right now it is at 5... single spaced.  So double that and it will be about 10 pages.  So I only have 10 pages left.  I will write until I am done and cut anything out that I need to cut out.
