fianlly! the recording is over! nowi start walton. but omg, this whole situation sucked. heres what happened:
the whole time my teacher said HE would reserve a spot at msm for a reocrding. this week he told mei have to find my own place. soi was online for 2 hours getting a place. finally, i got one with a semi decent price of $95 an hour. so yesterday i repcrded it. it ended up costing $170 just on the recording, forget the money i now owe my pianist for her time. then my mom saw the application and its due the 31st. its the 29th. theyre fed-ex0ing it. i have to pay them back money now for al this extra. i told them that its my teachers fault. he was the one who said to do it last minute, andi thought the whole(since he told me) that he had a spot for me......my parents said i shuoldve known and taken some initiative. well, im thinking of leaving him as teacher. whats gonna happen when college comes around? and b/c of him i have to pay my parents back some $50 odd some dollars. andi odnt think i won the competition. there were 2 or 3 double stops still out of tune /before i realized how much this cost. damn it. well,i think im gonna leave him. later....
