Long Day

April 5, 2006 at 2:48 PM

Ok, so it's 10:30pm, and I've just gotten home. I've been at uni since 8am. Long day.

But a productive day.

I got some practice done on my Prokofiev. I still don't like it as much as my Beethoven. I guess I'll have to find some way into it, but I really don't feel motivated to do it.

I actually had 3 hours practice, and another 4 hours rehearsal today, for a grand total of 7 hours of playing the violin. As you might expect, I'm kinda exhausted, so will be heading to bed once I've finished this blog.

I also had a chat with the person I wanted to be my accompanist. He agreed to do my recital, so I'm really happy about that, to get that sorted this early on.

I think i was going to write more, but my brain has decided that it's not going to work anymore, so I think i should take it to bed.
