yeah so vermont...
camp is okay. people are cool. not a lot of people are amazingly good though. there are two girls that are both playing the Brahms violin concerto and they're both seventeen and Korean. One is at NC School of the Arts and the other studies at precollege Juilliard. i'd rather not discuss my chamber music groups at the moment, but my lessons are going well. My teacher said i was really talented... but i'm guessing they have to say that to everyone, it's what we pay for. i'm feeling kind of alone, because no one really seems to understand how it feel. and other people just think i'm bitching again because they have NO CLUE of what it's like to be where i am.
the food is okay. but it's not really healthy. it makes me feel repulsively fat. i brought my scale with me here, so i'm at least keeping track of what it's doing to me. i'm trying to lose fifteen pounds (including the four i gained this summer).
I'm afraid my dad might die while i'm here. he was really sick when i left and the doctor's office has called everyday for at least two or three weeks. He's getting a pacemaker put in sometime this week... and i don't even really know what that is.
i guess i'm having fun while i'm here. there isn't that much to do. except practice. the required 8-12 practice schedule isn't as difficult as it was for me last year. the bartok is coming along really well.
it's weird. there are so many people around but i still feel really alone.
i should practice or something
write me. call me. let me know that you're still alive or something.
