I had my senior picture taken today. Boy, was that a waste of time. Then, I came home and reviewed a little for the SATs. I'm taking the SAT tomorrow morning. I have to wake up early, which will kill me since I woke up at 11:00 today. I'm not too worried, though, because I can alwasy retake the SATs if I do poorly (and how would that happen, right?).

lol...

oh, Bruch. I don't really like his first violin concerto. Technique is easy to practice. I don't even have to think. All I do is turn on my metronome and practice. However, phrasings are different. You actually have to plan out your sound, which is too much work for me.

I have no music lesson this week because my teacher is teaching. Who would have thought? Ugh, he is teaching music history and listening to the people who signed up for the Kennesaw State University music camp.

The poor guy. haha

He's probably enjoying every moment of it.

So, I should practice. I've been so busy today with life's trivial matters that I haven't focused on the big things.

So, how about the Montreal Competition? I was disappointed in the results. Of course, I was listening to the competition over the internet, so I could not actually see anything.

I think that it would be a lot of fun to participate in a competition. I'm sure the competitors think otherwise, since they are the ones who spend long hours in the practice room.

But don't listen to me; I've never participated in a competition before.

I took the SAT 5 times, trying to break 1500 (this is the old SAT, I have no idea how the scoring system has changed since the late 80s). It nearly became a hobby. :)

I'm too old and unskilled for competition, but I agree it would be fun. Always adds an element of excitement to be preparing for a particular goal and deadline. Good luck if you decide to go for it.
