Re: Overcoming procrastination

Last year was Klose, this year is Baermann, and next year - who knows, I think my teacher has Jeanjean planned.

I think it's the 'bridge' I dread most - you finish your degree, then what? You can't just finish college and get a professional job like other courses. What do you DO exactly in those many years between student and professional? How do you make money, motivate yourself, have a life? If I can't motivate myself NOW, how will I when all I am doing is the odd audition which I'm probably going to do for years before I get offered a spot somewhere? It seems very futile. I'm at a stage where I'm no longer enjoying playing in my youth and college orchestras, it's such a chore. I think the option of quitting is staring me in the face but while it seems futile to continue, it is also just as stupid to quit - after all, I've worked HARD to be where I am and maybe I've just hit a wall? A HUGE wall with barbed wire and big tough-looking security guards!
