My cold/virus/fever cleared up, and I am feeling 100% better. Today is a very busy day; I just got home from a violin lesson, and soon we are going downtown so my mom can teach her class. I'm coming only because then I'm going to be interviewed for this TV news show called CN8. Since we don't have cable, I've never seen it and have no idea what it is. Then we're going to a concert played by the Cassatt Quartet, which includes two premiers of pieces. Should be good. Hopefully sometime during our adventures downtown we will be able to get some bubble tea.

In other news, we're leaving for Chicago this Friday, for my third From The Top job, and for my grandfather's birthday, which I'm giving a recital for. On the recital I'm playing:

March from Love for Three Oranges
It Ain't Necessarily So
Liebiesleid
Tango en La
Francapa (both by Piazzolla)
Gavotte en Rondo from the E Major Partita
Second mvt. from Wieniawski no. 2
Third mvt. from Wieniawski no. 2
Syncopation (Kreisler)

in that order.

Have to pack up to leave now.
