Skimpy practicing and packing

January 4, 2006 at 1:02 AM

I only practiced about an hour today.
But you know what? I decided that since it's *vacation* and I'm sounding fairly good, I'm entitled to a few days without non-stop violin. And my fingertips are peeling, so....I'm tkaing a break.
The Kabalevsky is sounding pretty good. At this point, I need my teacher to point out spots/help me figure stuff out/etc. Only two days until we leave. :-)
I finished the rough drafts for my essays (WHOOOOOOOHOO!) so now all I'm waiting on is the final word of my proofreader before I send them in to THE ENEMY (may they be cursed). If I don't get an A I will be so peeved. I deserve an A just for doing the blasted thing over vacation in my mindset. Haha.
Other than that, not much going on. We're trying to figure out how to pack all of our Christmas presents in our suitcases. People seem to forget that *we have to take a plane back home* so they give us huge presents like big ol' candle sticks and plates and other breakable, heavy, large objects. I mostly got bath supplies and cash along with some CDs and small books. All easy to pack stuff, thank goodness.
Ah, the joys of vacation...
