Once I have decided to leave here to start a new life someplace else, i no longer have any desires to work towards anything here. I just feel restless and sleepless all the time, waiting for the next phase of my life to begin, and the people whom I will be with. I have no regrets about my time here, what I have done, who I have met, but I feel my period of usefulness here has ended and life is urging me to move on to the next phase. I don’t know when it will be, but I am hopeful, just as in the past, that each new experience will serve me better than the ones that came before it.

Learning the Clarinet is proving a fun but difficult task. Some things about it seem much more difficult than playing Saxophone such as fingerings that cross “the break”. The Selmer Series 9 is an excellent instrument but the Clarinet ha some inherent difficulties that are not present on other instruments such as a few strange fingerings that make certain chromatic transitions especially difficult But I am confident that in time I will master them.
