yeah, I started crying yesterday when I practiced because, due to being sick, I hadn't worked with the violin in 3 days. I felt like I had lost all of my technique in those few days, and I sounded horrible. its funny...when I was like, 8, I could put down the violin for 2 weeks when I went on vacation or something, and come home and pick it up like normal, but now, its like, I require high maitenence!! But, I went to fine arts, and stayed in a practice room for 2 hours and just did slow work to get myself back up to par. I am better now. had a normal, rather successful session this morning. My chamber coach helped me with my bach yesterday, I think he was semi-happy with it. Which is rare. yea! I finally got a really cute bathing suit from Jcrew for the summer. Ah, how I can invert my thoughts from such meaningful thought to trivial materialism. haha. It is gross outside, but hey, that just makes me have more practice time. have a good day guys!
