Starting Up.

Mom was here this weekend. We had a great time and went down to Times Square, Rockefeller Plaza, and Central Park. The most eventful thing that happened was on the subway. After shopping yesterday in midtown, we were waiting for the subway and when it finally arrived, like all people we ran towards the car with seats in it. There was something strange about this car though. The surrounding cars were full of people, people on top of other people. This one little car was pretty much empty and as soon as we stepped on we found out why. It felt like it was 90 degrees in there. There were people sitting and sweating. Everyone's reaction when they got on was the same. One man actually stepped on, felt it, and said "Oh No!" and ran to another car to stand in the air conditioning. Mom and I got off 17 blocks early so we could just get off that stupid hot car.
My orchestra audition is today and I am appropriately nervous.
I've been thinking a lot about the Teacher's College program here, and have decided that it all comes down to money. If it is free or close to it, I will do it. However, if not...I will get my certification at a different time and place.
Speaking of auditions. It is practice time. I need to run over that Schumman Scherzo a couple more times. Here I go!
