First of all, I just want to thank everyone who wished me happy birthday yesterday. I'm old! No longer a teen hahaha...yesterday after dinner, a few of the guys snuck over (apparently my mum's been planning this for a while) for cake and tea. They got me a little soccer ball and a magic 8 ball (which everyone is fascinated with!)...it was ridiculous because we kept asking the thing stupid questions.
An inordinate amount of money has been going out within the past week as well. Strings were almost 200, a new baton was about 60, and rehairing my bow is gonna cost me 90 (and every subsequent time will be 180). Ugh.
Just to reiterate, rehearsals and coming up mean I'm going to be very busy on weekends and some weekdays.
Concert-wise, it's:
June 26th: Performance for NDP Participants and President of Singapore July 7th: SSA 40 Anniversary Performance (10,000 people!!) July 13th: NYPSO Concert
After that, I'm officially free of all orchestral obligations (in Singapore). Weeeeee!
So other than that, there's not much going on. I'm 20, broke, and looking back to going back to school. 63 days left!!!!
