After hitting a peak earlier this week, I think my stress level is beginning to recede. This is due to the fact that I'm making progress on mixing—one or two songs are pretty close to having a "first draft" mix completed. And the big news is that I now have two violinist and studio time all scheduled! That's certainly a relief, and I'll be even more relieved once it's finished. Additionally, I'm close to being finished with my orchestration project. I've actually figured out how I'm getting it onto paper, and how I'm getting paper. So the things that have been stressing me out the most are all starting to get taken care of.
