Roll Away Your Stone

Today was an accidental nap kind of day. It sucks too because I wasn't really tired I was just bored. There were three different times I was going to leave. I went down to turn my counterpoint assignment in and it wasn't too hateful outside, so I was going to go back and go for a walk down in south campus or something after eating breakfast. By the time I made and ate something it was raining. Damn. Fine, I'll practice. I really did. For an hour and a half. It was awesome. Used drones for 45 minutes and everything. It's all going to be okay next year--not amazing, but I don't think I'll be too shamed. After that I thought I'd go to the store 'cause I'm out of food, but, more rain. Fuckin' hell. (Fookin' ill) So, reading. Lay down in bed, get through two chapters and I'm out for the next two hours. For fuck's sake...pisses me off.

I booked my hostels for next week though. I'm going to Derry! And Belfast. I'm more excited about Derry though. I'll listen to Grainger the whole time. I just have to figure out how to get there now. There are buses, but you can't buy your ticket online and I that makes me nervous. So, this Saturday when I go into Dublin I'll go to the bus station too and ask somebody about it. Those information guys aren't the most patient of people. If I have to take a train...I just have to and that'll be that.

Also on Saturday I want to go to O'Donoghue's. Just have a pint and chill--maybe/hopefully see some live music. There's also the book market in Temple Bar that I should probably keep clear of.

Okay about practicing. My left shoulder is killing me now. I've only ever worried about my chops getting weak, but that thing is heavy! I can't believe I played for hours and hours at a time last year and didn't feel it in my arm or shoulder at all.
