HELP HELP HELP!!! Three more days and I am flying to Korea. And I still have not had time to look at all at one piece. I just got through two others and have sooooooo much to do! even though I am thinking of cancelling, I decided that I want to go. Sometimes we do not have the luxury of being as well prepared as we want to and still have to make the best of it.
And I still have so much to do, tomorrow a concert with ofcourse repertoire that has nothing to do with the competition. And tons of adminastrative things I have to arrange for "music in Beslan" before I leave. This morning I woke up at 5:30 being alll stressed. I could not even concertrate during my work out, like yesterday during swimming. So I got to probably leave that out for the moment.

This past week I was very frustrated, with people from V.com, but also a lot of my american friends. These elections have seperated people over the most strange things and the only thing I hope is that this crazyness will be over very soon!

Well, Isang Yun, Paganini, Bach, Franck Tchaikovsky and Ysaye are waiting for me... If anybody has any tips on how to learn Gasa in 3 days, they are most welcome!

A very stressed out violinist...
