I haven't written in a while.
Primarily because I've been preoccupied with the same old quotidian stuff. I've been writing music constantly, but it mostly doesn't turn out satisfactorily and it's not the kind of substantive music that will help me get into college.
The trouble is, I need further education and guidance for my approach to work. I don't know how strong my portfolio has to be, how many pieces to include, what to work on for instrumental repertoire... a thousand obstacles and confusions present themselves to my plans. I haven't started any applications or essays yet.
It's apparent, though, that nothing else would satisfy me to the same degree as composition in one form or another (at least at present). Hopefully, this commitment will translate into motivation to perform the attendant drudgeries.
Plus, extended essay. (!!) I am interested in my topic (José Martí's work and its relationship to its sociopolitical context), but have done no research and have yet to contact Sra. Cedeño.
But all this in time. For the present, I have to get to bed for a bassoon lesson early tomorrow.
Adieu.
