I had an awesome viola lesson yesterday. We worked on so much stuff in only 30 min. He said I had everything very nicely prepared for the lesson yesterday and thus we could work on viola technique. We worked on loosing all tension in the body to play with more ease and a more relaxed body, nothing will be forced and it will all sound very natural and resonate even better. It was a complete turn around from last weeks lesson and I was glad for that.

In other news, I am dropping my calculus class. I have too many credits this semester and I just don't have time to do everything justice and the other classes I'm in are more pertinent to my major and I am better at them anyway. I will be a much happier much less tired person in the long run.
