WEll, I guess that my life has been getting better. Since that awful outcome at my concert I have practiced more than ever. He (my teacher) told one of his private students that I dont parctice enough so I have decided to show him. I came into class today having my whole Borodin quartet learned down to every last dynamic and styyle. He didnt say anything though when we played it, of course not, that would be the nice thing to do and we want to avoid that at all costs.(SARCASM) I am quite pleased though because it sounded ok even though my quartet hasnt played with each other for about a week and a half. BUT its not good enough yet. See we have a concert on THursday and we dont play our pieces unless we are ready, so we really dont know who is going to play yet or not, but we still must come to the concert even if we are not playin gso he grades us ont that. I was really upset about the concert date, because Good Charlotte is coming to play that evening and I wanted to go. But I really do wan to play in the concert so I am doing everything that I can to do so. THis whole week is slammed full of stuff for me to do, like tonight I have a lesson then a 2 1/2 hour rehearsal, tomorrow, there is a banquet dinner I am going too for my orchestra, Wednesday is the AP Theory Exam (5 hours long), then Thursday is the concert I might not be in, FRIDAY IS EMPTY so I will probably practice, Saturday I have a recital then a gig (maybe ) at a church, SUnday a 2 1/2 hour rehearsal, and on next monday, a lesson and reheasal. Look at that schedule!!!!!!!! ARG! No practice time unless I can squeeze it in somewhere. I really need to try to do that. Well I guess that I would rather have a full schedule than not have anything to do!! So until next time, see you dudes later!JULES
