Day 32: Pau, France

When I woke up today, and then I did some free buzzing/mouthpiece buzzing.  Then, I sat up in bed and picked up my trumpet and started playing.  It was really awesome.  I had a very good practice session the the morning.  I still sound terrible, but fundamentally, I feel really strong, and I feel like my sound is improving.  Still waiting on the breakthrough. ;)  After my great start to my day, I left for class late, like I do every day, because I thought I had time for one more lip slur.  I made it just in time, and class was good.  Because I didn't eat breakfast because I was practicing, I had this for breakfast.:

It's healthy. Because it's fruit... (Breanna held my candy)

 It is like a Mounds bar.  But this is more of like, a Paradise stick. 

My lunch was really good today.  And very French.  I think.  It was tomatoes stuffed with little beef pucks, and ratatouille and pommes de terre sautees. (That is French for jumping potatoes.) It was very good.  When I went back to class, I got a coffee from the machine, and Breanna gave me a twix bar.  It was awesome.

My Orangina from lunch.

After class, I tried to go to the post office to mail a letter, but the post office was closed for renovations. Then I went home and practiced and had dinner with my family.  It was good.  My trumpet session this afternoon/evening was really great.  I felt a lot better this evening, and I got to work on the opera music.  It is so nice to finally play a piece for vocalists that is not in ridiculous keys.  It is basically all in C, Bb, F, G, D and A.  It is written for A trumpet, and I only have my Bb, so now I am playing in B, A, E, F#, C#, and B.  Lol awesome... It will be good for me, I'm sure.
