Life is GOOD

March 14, 2006 at 11:15 PM

I stay away for a few months and things go balistic!
What's up with that?!

On current news, I won the concerto competition for the second year in a row!!! I am very excited, as this year, I will be performing at a more professional concert along with my best buddy.
I also turned 15, whoopee, and learned the competition results on my birthday. Then I had a violin lesson right after that. How SWEET can that be?!

Also, I applied to two summer camps; Brevard and Eastern Music Fest. I really hope I get into Brevard with flying colors, but I'm worried. Recording for camp entries is a pain in the rear. I HATE RECORDING!

Then, as some of you may have heard, I sent Syd an email from "Joshua Bell". I sent an email from my real account promptly afterwards so that she knew it was a prank. I AM NOT INVOLVED IN THE RECENT JOSHUA BELL SCANDALS! In fact, I've been looking into the matter and have good reason to believe that it was a v.commer that got Sydney. If you're reading this, fess up. It's not funny.
