Another week of school has gone by! This week was definetly a bit more of a challenge then last week and I'm finding I'm going to be doing a lot of studying on the weekend. This week has been interesting from a few points, one being I've actually gotten up early enough to practice some before school and because I haven't been feeling so great the past couple of days, which makes things a little harder.

It's been really really hot here (in the high 90's F) and without air-conditioning, it has been TOO HOT, but I'm surviving. I can live with it if it gets cool at night but last night it didn't cool off. I left my window open to try and keep the air circulating...I ended up closing it at 3am because of the birds, but then my room heated up a bunch again so my sleep was pretty much done and over with by 6:30 or so. Hopefully I'll get more sleep tonight...so far it's not looking too promising.

I had a bunch of work done on my teeth today, to do with my braces. They had to pop off a few brackets and re-position new ones on so that my teeth would space out right. My mouth is pretty sore. :( Right after my appointment (which lasted nearly an hour!) I went to my granparents place and had some ibuprofen and then practiced for a while, to try and get at least some done before my face started hurting too much. I worked mainly on studies but managed to do some work on the Bach E major Partita.

After practicing I lounged in my grandparent's living room with my homework and the satellite was turned onto a classical station and Stravinsky's Pulcinella Suite came on. It was kind of neat to hear! I had never heard the suite, just the full ballet score, so it was really neat to hear the original version of the Suite Italienne in it's fully orchestrated version. I was like...oh! So that's what played that part, I always thought it would have been this instrument.

Not too much is new and exciting. Just same old, same old!
