Criminal Masterminds

Updates 'n such.

Good evening everyone! (or, I guess, it's almost good morning... technically...)

I have a few basic updates about life in general. Overall, life is good. I'm still obscenely busy and don't get as much sleep as I should, but I have been really good about my practicing at 2 hours per day (1.5 on clarinet, .5 on flute) which is much, MUCH better than last year. I have been asked to audition for the pit for the musical, which I'm super excited for. Besides the experience, I get paid $250, which will be awesome (I'm still poor) plus I get to play more, which is always fun.

On the downside, however, I think I'm developing carpel tunnel syndrome. Not lying. Yesterday I was practicing and my wrist got really sore on the top side, then I played my lesson today and went to work and orchestra, and by the end of the night my wrist was dully aching for the rest of the night... I was instructed to purchase a neck strap and avoid practicing as much until it gets better... granted, the fact that I'm sitting here typing this probably isn't great, but it's feeling better now.

So I'll keep you guys updated whenever I get free time as it comes up, otherwise, I hope you're all doing well and not drowning in classes/homework, and I'll talk to you all later!
