Of Midterms and Missed Lessons

October 13, 2005 at 8:37 PM

Man am I bushed!
Midterms are next week, so I've been studying like a fiend. I came home early from the university today so I could practice, and right as I was unpacking my violin, my teacher called...
"Hi Natasha! Um...it's quarter past two and we had a lesson scheduled for two..."
Oops.

So I packed up all my junk and drove over to his house for a lesson. It did NOT go well. I started the kabalevsky too fast and kept changing my tempi, and bungled all the things I had worked so hard on. It was kind of depressing.
I'll just have to work harder. :-)

But midterms are going well.
The material this year is so much more fascinating than last year. We get to read "Rime of the Ancient Mariner", "Animal Farm", "The Betrothed", and "The Scarlet Pimpernel"...
I finished Latin midterms today (everyone REJOICE!), Math midterms, three essays, and got six books on the Dark Ages for my research report next semester. Go baby go!
;-)

I'm such a weird kid.

Good luck on your midterms. I'm so glad I've graduated.

I know right where you're at! Why do we always post things at roughly the same times?
