Amu left yesterday =\ at least I got to see her at the airport. And Audrey's leaving tomorrow, and I just haven't been able to meet her =(
I realise that I would enjoy Academy Day a lot, if it weren't for the fact that there's school. I worry about the time wasted only because of the huge piles of homework. Otherwise, I'd be perfectly happy to get a chance to see and talk to so many friends, and to joke around and stuff. Reminds me of what it's like to be at camp, somehow. It's a time when eventually, people start talking for lack of anything else to do, and it brings up really interesting conversations. Plus, the whole idea of playing together makes me feel like it's one BIG group of friends, not just different disciplines coming together on one day.
So although yesterday was almost completely a waste of 12 hours, I'm glad I got to talk to friends, especially the mridangam and tabla gang. We would never have talked and joked that much if we weren't all at the same place waiting for something to happen. (And besides, the day wasn't a complete waste because I met some of the gang at the airport at night, which brought back lotsa memories of the guys from Congo =\ ) Likewise, I'm glad I was with the (new generation) violin and flute and veena gangs today, and made friends with more of that huge mridangam group.
The orchestra had a few minor mistakes, but it sounded fine. The alumni dance, for which I was playing, was more obviously careless but I think it still sounded alright. At least there's one less thing to worry about now. 1 down, 4 to go!
Now to finish reading three-quarters of a novel by tomorrow.

Do you think about me now and then?
'Cos I'm comin' home again."
