Hi all.
Argh. Tired, frustrated. Oh yeah, some good news...my tone deaf student quit today.,...his parents couldnt get him to practice...I know you guys are probably like,"you are prob. just a bad teacher.." but no..he was a bad student.
Practicing is rolling along smoothly. Making steady progress. Not exactly rapid and amazing progress, but steady, GOOD progress. Paganini is finally almost there. Bach sounds...like Bach....tartini is so much fun. Its like my candy at the end of my practice session. I have to work at it some, but jeez, I mean, devil's trill is a blast. Going to start the dvorak this week.
last rehearsal was tonight for youth orcehstra (yea, Jules!!) So relieved. except we read russian easter overature and I am the concertmaster, so I got to read all of the fun solos. argh
Got my SAT scores. My mom is mad, even though I didnt do that badly. I am disappointed too. But honestly, I am not even applying to any school that has a minimum SAT score, so I am not going to sweat it too much. My teacher told me today that I would be "fine" which is a big deal for him.
I am really worried about one of my friends.
I am tired, going to bed. Want it to be summer, but what else is new. it still sucks I dont have a date on saturday. I am going to a kentucky derby party instead and am going to drink mint julips while I try not to think about the fact that I am not at prom.
