Overslept but awakened thanks to Manman.  First practice with MM in room, working on my own thing while she practices Jack Bazaar.

Galileo preview, general practice

Preparation for preview performances in September.

Wrap-up

Amazing experience.  Felt like a milestone in my career to work with Andy and to be reminded what it means to be a professional musician, able to read music and handle last-minute assignments.  Still feel guilty I wasn't able to make my participation happen without interfering with my classes, and I worry it'll happen again.

Next steps
- western notation for naname
- rehearsal schedule for May with IK and KM
- wrap-up call with Andy

Was really inspired this morning, thinking about how hard Andy is working at the moment.  Tried to implement 14-min "rounds" for the day but quickly blew past the first break and then got sucked into other things.  Looking at what I got done today, I didn't practice as much as I'd like.  I should try the rounds (pomodoro) system again with better planning of my day to start, and then more strict adherence to the schedule.
