So, today is my first day back at NRO. I'm really excited to be here again and I'm looking forward to the rest of the summer. After check in yesterday, I found my condo and started unpacking. I totally got the Master bedroom with my own bathroom. Score! Way better than sharing one bathroom between 4 girls lol. And!!! We also got twice as much grocery money as last time...A fabulous surprise.
After lunch today I went on a walk with my roommates, Katie and Hannah, and showed them around town. It was good to get reacquainted with everything. I'm glad to see some of my favorite spots and restaurants are still here.
Our first rehearsal is this evening at 6pm. I warmed up a little this morning, and I'm planning on doing a little practice after I finish with this. Check that--neighbors came knocking because of Katie practicing horn :/
One thing I want to do is take a picture of the mountains every few days so I can see the difference over the summer. I loved taking pictures last time, and I'm pretty sure I'll be just as crazy this year. I can't wait for the Blue River to calm down a little (it's pretty raging) so I can go wading in it again.
My summer to do list definitely includes some 14ers. :) I got 3 (Sherman, Grey's and Torrey's) last time. Hopefully I can get at least that many again with the added bonus of not injuring my knee like last year (here's hoping). And, in addition to all the concerts and rehearsals the plan is to put in practice on excerpts and Tchaik to get me ready for auditions in the fall. I could count on my hands the times I actually practiced last time--and it was always for concerts not personal practice. Thankfully, with my own room and fewer condo mates I think I'll be more comfortable with practicing without bothering people. Here's hoping neighbors knocking on our door about music won't be a recurring pattern. !
Went down to Riverwalk to pick up a parking permit just now. Went out after lunch to find a tow away warning on my windshield. Yeah, no bueno. I have no idea when they put it on my car, so I figured it would probably be wise to get that taken care of pronto. Don't want to come out to leave for rehearsal and find I don't have a car. Well. That's all the "exciting" adventures and plans so far. More to come!

"Persevere, do not only practice your art, but endeavor also to fathom its inner meaning; it deserves this effort. For only art and science can raise men to the level of gods....The true artist has no pride. He sees unfortunately that art has no limits. He has a vague awareness of how far he is from reaching his goal; and while others may perhaps admire him, he laments that he has not yet reached the point to which his better genius only lights the way for him like a distant sun." ~ Beethoven
