Well, it's down to the last week now. I can feel things starting to wrap up and I couldn't be more excited to go home. It's been a great experience but I really am burnt out. I've started to wonder that if I can't survive eight weeks of this, how am I supposed to do it 52 weeks out of the year? I think doing it as a job would be a lot different than doing it as a summer camp, so that is reassuring. As an orchestra player, music would just be a part of my life, rather than a consumer of my life. I think my stamina for long rehearsals has definitely grown, so my lack of enjoyment is not necessarily a physical issue, even though I have had some problems with my wrist. I think I'm burnt out because I'm honestly just sick of doing the same routine every day, seeing the same people, none of whom are my family, and it just gets old after a while.
In the next post I want to list all of the repertoire that I've played this summer, because it really is a huge list!
