Not only did I finish my exams, I passed them with flying colors! Considering my biology studying kept being interrupted by my practicing the Bach g minor fugue for hours, I'm pretty darn excited. But now that school is over, I can stop complaining about not having enough time to practice and such, which I'm positive is a very good thing. Now I am free to practice my pants off for Tanglewood, maybe see a friend or two in between. Ahhhh sweet freedom! I'm like a glowing elementary school kid on the last day of school. It's sad really...

I definitely sight-read an entire orchestra concert last weekend, which was interesting. The program wasn't too hard though, so I managed along fine.

I've got to learn Rachmaninov's symphony in e minor and Bartok's concerto for orchestra. Along with keeping the Saint-Saens perfect, learning Wieniawsky No. 1, Bach G minor sonata, 2 "to-be-anounced" pieces of chamber music, Mozart's Haffner, 2 Paganinis and Brahms' Sonata No. 3. I think I have my work cut out for me. Should be fun indeed.

Well, I just completely stressed myself out so I do beleive I will go and work on something in that menacing list...
