Fall Quarter Home Stretch

I have my conducting final exam tomorrow morning. Had I realized sooner what a valuable tool the video camera was, my quarter would have been less angst-filled. As it is, my confidence has increased significantly, and I hope my grade reflects how much I've improved.

Still, any prayers you have to spare would be appreciated, Dear Readers!

Organ juries went well; I played the Vierne Adagio the best I'd ever done, but the Bach Prelude could've gone better. My hands were shaking pretty severely, and that's NOT good for note accuracy on a very fast piece. The most frustrating thing is that I KNOW I can play it perfectly, and it just doesn't happen in front of people! Bah!! Someday I'll get over this extreme nervousness thing......
