I've been having major music major withdrawals lately. I think I'm driving my friends nuts with talk of playing my flute and other music stuff. I found out Jon has a flute. I want to borrow it. He also has some music software on his computer so we were talking about different music software and stuff. I even got excited when we walked past Breitkopf & Haertel (a music publisher). I'm seriously considering having my mom send my flute with Erin. I didn't bring it because one, I didn't want to have to have the extra weight with bringing music along with it, two I couldn't fit it in my carry-on, and three, I really didn't think I would have time or want to play it. I had gotten so burnt out on playing and practicing but now I'm missing it. I miss the whole experience of being a music major. Maybe it's my way of being homesick but I think that I'm finally starting to come around to really wanting to play again. In a way, that was another reason I didn't bring my flute. I guess absence really does make the heart grow fonder. Granted next semester I'm not going to have time to play in band or anything but maybe I can find a community band or something. Who knows. I really need to focus on my capstone next semester though. I tend to put more into music when given the opportunity. If it weren't for the fact that I'd be in school for another 3 or 4 years, I'd still be doing it, but of course mom and dad say I have to graduate in December. I guess once I have myself financially stable I can think about going back and getting a music degree but that will probably have to wait. I'm such a band geek. I guess I'll never lose that. I think I'm content with that though.
