Guess what??
I might be attending my very first orchestra rehearsal tonight!!!!!!!!!! The first oboist from the Downtown Symphony (the one at BMCC) emailed me to tell me that they're in need of an oboist again. I was hesitant to join them last year because the rehearsal I attended was a bit disorganized. But by now I am very desperate to play with others and I think I can deal with funky strings for a while. Besides, I heard that they get fill-in strings for the concerts anyway.
The only downside is that I am supposed to stay at work late on Tuesdays. Now I have to find a way to sneak out at 4:45 even though we are never done with patients until around 5:30. I then have to take the Metro North train to Grand Central, the 7 cross town, then the 2 or 3 to Chambers. It will be quite a journey. But well worth it if I get to play with others finally!!
I am excited but nervous and still don't believe it's true yet.
Oh, would anyone mind if I start posting about other stuff in my life here? Sometimes I want to post, but not necessarily about music but I feel obligated to make the posts here music related. It would be cool if I could go on about med school stuff, family, and music all in the same place. Maybe that's what the labels are for? I need to figure out how to work with blogger more.
One more thing: I received my first medical school interview invite today. SUNY Downstate on the 17th!! Woohoo!!

Congratulations on finding an orchestra. Being a part of my local orchestra has been a great motivation to keep practicing.
I think you should blog about whatever you want; it is your blog after all. I always look forward to each new post, regardless of the topic.
I agree, post what you like! I would enjoy hearing how your medical career fits in with your musical life.
Good luck with the orchestra - please let us know how it went!
