I am glowing with pride.
I'm assistant concermistress at my university. I asked to sit concertmaster for Shostakovich 5 tonight so that I could have another go at the solos. I thought for sure I could do them better than I did the summer before arriving at university.
I did.
I am so proud of myself, I can't sleep. I don't ever feel like this, so I'm really inspired. I don't ever want to be away from my violin, now!
Ding dong, the funk is gone... =D
