Well, I am on a practice break, so I felt like writing. I am so proud of myself...I have been doing 5 hours every day and accomplishing so much. My dad even camein the room when i was practicing the thrids in the Dvorak (3rd page) and he was like, "Wow, you are being so diligent!" Which is a big deal for him. So, I am happy, and I actually feel like I can live up to this name I have created for myelf in this town. Like, for the past few years, I feel like I haven't lived up to who people think I am in this tiny town...Like, I won solos and competitions, but I didnt think I ever deserved them..ever!!!, and I didn't think I had the capability that people thought I did. Well, Duh! I just needed to actually work hard in the practice room! go figure. haha. Well, I am 2 minutes into my 3rd hour so i better get my behind back to the stand and do Paganini. I think I am going to have an affair with Simon Fisher bc I love his exercises so much. heh. jk. Hmmmm I am in actually a decent mood for just working on my bach!
