My winter break sadly comes to an end. I'm not exactly looking forward to returning to school, though I know I usually enjoy myself once I get back in the swing of things. I again have eight classes this semester, but at least this time it's for a whole fifteen credits instead of twelve. I'm anticipating that the generals I'm taking won't consume so much time this semester either... Which is good, because the impending senior recital I must give is going to sneak up on me quickly. I'm hoping to schedule it as near to the end of the semester as possible, for a couple reasons:
1) My extended family that is interested in coming would rather drive in Spring weather.
2) I need all the practice I can possibly get.
I'm very nervous about this. I'm very bad about preparing one or two pieces a music a semester, but now I have to prepare an hour's worth of music. I've got a few tricks up my sleeve to fall back on if the real difficult stuff stumps me. Either way, I have to practice my ass off this semester. I'm promising myself a generous portion of daily practice... daily. I'd appreciate a little "have you practiced yet today" kick in the butt if you'd be willing. And if I haven't practiced, please ask me why. If I give a really shitty reason, tell me and make me go practice.
