Bassoonism

Monday, July 8th, started with running in the rain for PRT.  Then we had concert band rehearsal in the morning.  The bari sax player who was on leave was back so there was lots of low reed power.

Tuesday, July 9th, I went and got my next anthrax shot and needless to say, my arm hurt for the rest of the day!  And the next!  I spent the morning working on training paperwork.  After lunch, I went and picked up my CIF, which really amounted to rain gear and cold weather gear since the rest of the gear has already been issued.  After I got my gear back to the band hall, my woodwind quintet rehearsed for the first time.  I hadn't done classical woodwind quintet in forever so it was a fun but odd experience.  Must practice... lots!

Wednesday, July 10th, was another recording studio day.  I was an idiot who managed to forget her keys in the morning, but I got it all straightened out.  It wasn't a bad day - they did give us donuts!

Thursday, July 11th, was a strength day for PRT; there weren't many of us because lots of people were on the mission in the morning, so we rotated through different strength exercises in the park.  I spent a lot of time working on training paperwork...  I will eventually get it all organized!

Friday, July 12th, was the first day of my EO (Equal Opportunity) Class.  It's a fairly interesting class so far.  There are 18 of us in the class and its heavily discussion based.  I'm apparently a bit too much of a smart ass. I knew lots of the answers and said them - in fact, after one statement I made, the teacher told me I apparently knew everything already, so I should leave... I took it as a joke...  Friday night, I went with my clarinet friend to go see Despicable Me 2.  If you haven't seen it yet, go see it!

Saturday, July 13th, was an awesome lazy day.  I read for most of the day, then worked on my homework for EO class.   For dinner, a whole group of us went out to Rainbow Golbi for SGT Goewey's going away party.   It was a fun night that ended with dancing and a rain storm!

Sunday, July 14th, was another lazy day.  Had some interesting talks and finished my homework.   I'm enjoying my "do nothing" weekends.  I did go for a run through the rain which was delightful!
