Nobody in the world

is better than me.

a line from one of my favorite movies. Also, something I have to remember. My grandmother (who impromptu visited me a couple days ago) was quick to remind me. It's nice to have people who let me know that I'm good enough especially when almost everyone else, including me, seems to disagree.

went to go see Mahler 5. Mark Inouye is such an amazing trumpet player...I wonder what it's like to have the job? Does it all get easier? How do I get there? Nobody knows...or at least nobody has an answer that works for me.

Still not sure if the whole "music school" thing is working out for me. I keep in mind that I'm smart and good at a lot of different things but, right now I might as well keep trying. But, maybe "might as well" isn't the attitude to have. It seems that so many people have more passion and drive than I do. "Might as well" probably isn't going to get me into grad school.

This is just your weekly existential crisis. I do know, however, that it's all going to be fine whether or not music is in the picture.
