Weird how I've gotten so used to Dr Cobbs traumatizing people at rehearsal that when he points to a wind player and says "Do you realise it's you who is making all the mistakes? I don't care if you've practiced all night, NO MISTAKES!" it barely registers. There was more nail-biting stuff today with three violin CPAs conducted in front of the whole orchestra for people who were absent, and hadn't failed. Those who had failed got to go during break... strange... but for me orchestra is a few hours of relaxation compared to school work. I'm under so much stress right now. I don't see the point in all this - I am so sick of school, god damn it!

Liz, you need to put my nomination on the website!
