GO Time!

April 26, 2012 at 4:59 PM

Some of my friends are saying that they are getting to the point in the semester where they really hate their instruments (or singing). I have a really hard time understanding this because, even through all the stress that the next few weeks will bring, playing violin is my passion and I can never think of a time when I actually hated it. I consider these coming weeks to be "Go Time"- a time of intense super-motivation where we just do what we've gotta do. Many of us have a big playing test coming up that is super stressful (only 13 days to go ahhhhh) but for me, despite the stress, it's a really exciting time. Sure, I am freaking out as much as the next person, but I am so excited to see all my hard work from this semester pay off. Even though I am nervous about the futer, I can not wait to see what will happen!!!
