Anyone have a string of days like this?

[mcnaire2004]

Day 1 (yesterday): My saddle snapped so I had to rush it to my luthier so he could repair it for my audition the next day. Not so bad. I picked my bass up on the way to school the next morning.

Day 2(today): As a senior with graduation Saturday I only have to come half a day for the last week and a half. She made me stay all day in the same class including lunch. I didn't object as long as I got my diploma with a good grade on my transcript. We have a stupidly massive class project. But, my teacher for some reason likes seeing me jump through hoops (I have been nothing but nice, I even laugh at that retched womens jokes). I basically did 90% of the work. She kept changing her mind on things so I had to redo allot. No big deal right?

Well, at the end of the day some random kid said I owe him 70 cents 70 ****ing cents . So me teacher tells me to pay the kid or I don't get my diploma. I honestly didn't have the money (however little it was). There was only about 8 other students since the seniors had all left (except me). None of them had any I could borrow. So, I Finlay snap and told her that she is not going to extort the money from me (even though it isn't completely extortion). The bell rang, she is turning in senior grades on a slip, she whites out my grade and puts a 68. I honestly was a half second from ringing her neck, I still mite ring the neck of that kid that said I owed him money at all.

Tomorrow I am going to speak with the principal about this.

Now, to go on to that I have my annual CYS audition today. Nothing to big, 2 prepared excerpts, sight reading and a solo (Bottesini for me).

I was so angry when I was there warming up I couldn't manage to get any notes to come out right. When I get to the audition I did pretty decent on the prepared excerpts. But, my adrenaline was so pumped when I got to my solo that I played the Bottesini about twice the speed I actually can. (first movement). At first it sounded ok, but my intonation got worse and worse (then got better). I remember at the end of the cadenza I cut the 4 trills way to short and then played the set of 16ths notes way to fast, though intonation wasn't so bad, then I copped out on the last 2 notes.

I didn't think it would affect me that bad, though my blood was boiling with anger (and still is) I was cool on the outside, carying on good conversation with people. They didn't seem to think I was flustered.

This has to be the worst 2 days of my natural born life. (or at least in the top 10).
