1. BYU Philharmonic. On Wednesday night we got to play our concert for the semester. And it was THE BEST!! I love playing in this wonderful orchestra. It's so fun! We gotta play such good music. Like Prokofiev 5. So good. I still remember the day I got in for the first time. I was stoked. And I try to remember that when I forget to be grateful for rehearsals and all the music playing I getta do in orchestra.
The phil cello section! fall 2015.
2. Nights at the symphony! I am grateful for when I get to go see good orchestras live!! Last night I went to Utah Symphony with a friend and it was sooo beautiful! And great. hah. And the whole evening was made when Thierry Fischer hit something with his baton and somehow broke it, (it wasn't quite in half... but it was a good chunk). Anyways, it was way funny. And the concertmaster like kicked it under his chair. But, after the concert, we went up to the front and I awkwardly started a conversation with this violinist and was like, "Hey beautiful job tonight! And I was wondering if you would mind tossing me that piece of baton..." haha. SHE LOOKED AT ME LIKE I WAS CRAZYYY. But it was hilarious. AND totes worth it! As I am now the proud owner of part of Fischer's baton when he conducted Mahler 6 at BYU. hah.
3. The feeling you get after you turn in a HUGE research paper! I turned in my big 303 paper yesterday on Ein Heldenleben. And I'm sooo happy that it's outta my hands! #feelsgood
And today! I am grateful for:
1. Modern Family. Hahah. This show is hilarious. I'm watching it now and it makes me laugh. Phil Dunphy is my hero. The only thing is it kinda makes me miss Elise. hah. Cause we would watch it together.
2. BYU Basketball Games! I decided to get an all sports pass for the rest of the year and I'm going to my first basketball game tonight! It's gonna be so fun! I am excited. Basketball is always the best. It reminds me of the glory days! #Jimmer4lyfe
3. Fridays. I know. Cliché. But really. I legitimately listened to the Glee version of Rebecca Black's "Friday" right when I got to work this morning cause I was so excited it's Friday! hah. #nofriends But really though. They're just the best. I work a lot on Fridays cause class wise I only have Baroque from 1-3. So it's kinda nice. It's usually just relaxed. No pressure. I luh it.
Well, L'évangile est vrai!
Love, Pono
