I can say no longer that I have never written a term paper on musical theory. After several hundred words- probably more into the thousands- I have finally finished the last one. And I can sucessfully say that next year, I will have to take no more music theory. The credit I had in high school counted! Bliss ( Read more... )

My lights and electricity have returned. I made a visit to both companies, and it seems that they didn't receive my bills. When they checked their records, they saw that they had made a mistake, and quickly turned everything back on. I knew I had paid it. Having no money in my wallet for two weeks made me doubly sure...I have a new student every ( Read more... )

Everyone is back now, I hear. That's a relief! Now I won't have to be near as worried. Jounouchi has been looking everywhere, and I have looked as well, though my trip took me away for so long ( Read more... )

Well, I'm so glad to be home! I travelled around to different places- Egypt, France, Rome, and America. I spent the most time in New York City, seeing all the sites. There was a marvelous pianist at Carnegie Hall when I was there, so I scrounged up enough to go and see her. She was a student at an arts academy from the southern part of the country ( Read more... )

I can't find my inspiration on the piano anymore. One minute it was there, and the next...it wasn't. My grades have been dropping because of it, and I feel as if I've fallen into an enormous hole to which there is no exit. I wish that it would come back, as I need it desprately. We're coming up on the composition project for the end of year...and I ( Read more... )

I can't believe it's already the new year. There are so many things to do, and I'm not ready for any of them. We go back to school and immediately we have to write a paper. I sometimes think I should take the...other-Yami's advice and just stop going. But then I remember my dream of becoming a professional pianist, and I am determined to go back ( Read more... )

Merry Christmas, everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful Holiday season. I know I did. This year, I actually had electricity and heat...unlike last year. I'm getting better at paying my bills now ( Read more... )

Well, I certainly received some...interesting news. Father says that his progress in Egypt isn't going well at all...

Well, I think I did rather well on my Piano exam- it was Monday, and I rather enjoyed it. We have a preformance test on Friday, and that will be harder, I believe. I'm playing one of Beethoven's Piano sonatas, or part of one. I've only been working on it for two weeks, which is when the professor told us to pick a piece and prepare it. We didn't ( Read more... )

Well, things at the University have been slowing down- we just had exams, and I think I did rather well. Now, I have a short break before going back for second semester ( Read more... )
