Violin Rut

April 30, 2008 at 7:04 AM

I seem to be in a rut right now. I'm not advancing in the violin. Maybe I'm just taking on music that's too hard. I don't know. But it really frustrates me. And with the stress of trying to finish my school year (I'm homeschooled.)and with my SAT coming up this June I'm starting to freak out.

I finally got to watch the movie Clue, from 1985. If I were in the movie and one of the weapons a violin. I guess I could be the murder. I can't believe I just dissed myself.

I want a better violin. If you would like to donate please e-maail me. Only joking, kind of.

Often when we think we're advancing the least, we're advancing the most.
Just ride out the storm as they say.

Ruts are a drag. : (
But what Jake said is wise and true. Hang in there!
