It's early Wednesday afternoon, and I'm thinking to myself what a beautiful day. I open up my e-mail inbox to find a message from Dan Matsuoka saying that he'll be speaking at CCM-Irvine. I begin wondering if I have any appointments that I need to keep later in the afternoon. I probably didn't think that hard on it, because nothing popped up in my head. Cool, I thought, I think I'll go down to Irvine today then! Excited, I call up a friend whom I was closer to back in high school to see if she wanted to meet up beforehand and make plans with her.
I leave around three in the afternoon, which means that traffic hour has started again and it'll take me about an hour to get there. About a quarter of the way in, I realize that I have a music history paper due tomorrow, that I had totally forgotten about and therefore not started yet. Ugh, I think to myself, guess I'll just pull an all-nighter then. I typically don't even start really working until late into the night anyway. For those who don't follow my twitter, below is my initial reaction.

I keep driving down the 405, and eventually pass through Long Beach at around 4 PM. At this point, I suddenly realize that I have a chamber coaching with Prof. Sutre at 6 PM. At this point this is when I start freaking out, because you can't just cancel these kinds of thing on the fly, unless you're indisposed to the point of being hospitalized. I was considering this option as an alternative to driving all the way back to LA.
dsheu omg just remembered i have a coaching with prof sutre at 6, double fail. back to la i guess, was already in like torrance too
dsheu "and thats why you always make a schedule" -bluth
Sadly, I turn around and call my friends who were waiting for me in Irvine that I would have to cancel our plans. I then spend the next two hours frantically trying to get back into Los Angeles. And now here I am, sitting in the main study lounge of Covel procrastinating some more before I begin my paper on Felix Mendelssohn's Jewish identity in 19th century Germany had an impact on his music. Which I know nothing about.
Sometimes I just love my life.

hm. that's a really interesting topic! i want to know how it affected his music!
and if it makes you feel any better, lately, i've been thinking that even though i hate LA traffic, it is a lot better than norcal traffic because at least the drivers in LA know how to drive....
(go write your paper!)
