Tuesday 11/4:
Whewie! What a long weekend! I'm just back in the door from Dallas for their audition and am beat. I made the finals!!! Yaaay! So I get to go back next week and play the final round with the section and music director. This transitions perfectly into an audition in Houston the next day.... Going to be a crazy crazy couple of weeks. But damn is it fun!
So I'll be grilling this week hardcore and staying mentally strong. I wasn't too happy with my rounds in Dallas honestly, but I'm super happy with the result. The semi-final round started prety rough, but I stayed in there and fought my way out. Despite the slow start, I felt like I finished strong and was able to present a solid product by the end of the 12 excerpt-long list. Goood good stuff!
Today I did a couple good sessions and also knocked out a rather weak Press Day. I was unable to get more than 3 on my 3+ set... Boo, oh well. I have at least one more late night session in front of me and some mental prep. After work, I came home and crashed into a long nap to recover from the 1:30am arrival from Dallas. Everything being backloaded though is working out just fine.
Wednesday 11/5:
Lots of work today! My face is fatigued right now in the early evening, but I'm still going to head over to the hall and knock out a mock audition with the wife. Should be good!
In resuming my meditation practice after a too long break, I realize how much I miss it and need it. For just a simple 10x10 count of mindful breathing, my mind was darting all over the place. It took a surprising amount of time to get and feel settled. Hopefully this will inform my self-hypnosis and increase its depth and efficacy.
The post-travel weigh-in is a bit discouraging.... I'm going to try and control what I eat better for this coming trip, but I know that I will not be able to maintain the caloric deficit.... We'll just have to see where we are when we come out on the other side. Do the best you can.
