Better day today. Got 2 hours practice done. Would've been three but things came up. First, I had started practicing my Mozart which would've been my third hour for the day, but I noticed that someone has messaged me on MSN, and I've been needing to talk to him to arrange some stuff for our youth group that's happening this Friday. So that hour was lost, because I needed to go to uni after that.

I had a room booked for two hours today, but I got caught up in the library getting some music out for chamber music. If you don't get to the room in 10 minutes, you have to forfeit it if there's someone else there. So there was that practice gone.

But still, two hours was good. I did scales and my Bach. It was the first time i had actually practiced the bach with the fingerings and bowings that my teacher had given me. I think for this first week, it's going to be real slow practice, getting all the notes in tune, with the correct fingerings and bowings. Well, at least this first week.

Well, I should get to bed. I've got an early start tomorrow, get in some practice before uni.
