margaretha heard my handoshkin. she ripped it apart, but in a good way. she wanted it more simplistic, emphasizing what really needed to be emphasized, as well using vibrato throughout the piece, not just on some notes. i told her how depressed i was. she said not to take this competition so seriously, since their output is always weird. she wants me to play for her this weekend. i will do so, if my mom drives me.she also said for me to call her if i ever get depressed about my playing. a midget in a red car stopped me on the street today. he asked what my case was, and if it was a guitar. i said viola. he said 'priola? whats thaT?" i repeated viola. he saidi fi was good, i said yes. he asked if i wnated it as my career. i said yes. thanks to the midget in the red car i know what i wnt now.
