ok.
i just got back from an amazing rehearsal of brahms' first trio in b. what an amazing piece! i feel bad for kate, our pianist, though. all those hemiolas and so few actual melodies. but it doesn't hide the fact that it's an absolutely fantastic piece. my favorite has got to be the last movement, even though it still needs a lot of work before we do this thing in competition. we finally were able to find some to enter (we were having trouble because courtney and kate are both grad students and i'm...well...in high school. damn) and so we'll see how that works out.

i hate saturdays. the reason for that is because every saturday i can't help but sit back and reflect on how i could be at julliard prep. i mean really. why would my parents let me audition, and then refuse to let me go only AFTER i get accepted? *ponder*

so... i'm about to be off to an orchestra rehearsal. we're doing bernstein's west side story symphonic dances and whatnot. its a really interesting piece... although all the good stuff goes to the brass. poop. oh well, i shall find a way to deal with it i suppose. then i'm going to a DIFFERENT rehearsal to run through my saint-saens for tonight. shouldn't be too bad though, i've done this piece a bunch and i feel really comfortable with it, so i'm just going to let the piece just happen the way it wants to. i always find that to be the best way.

so i guess i should probably eat something at some point or do something other than playing violin (for once) but i find that i'm never very successful at anything while i'm in violin mode. like the time i put max bruch as an answer on my biology test by accident. but that is a different story completely.

i must depart. farewell.
