Two updates in one day? DNFTD! It's like Leora never went to college ( Read more... )

Yay for getting up at four in the morning. By which I mean BOO ( Read more... )

Of course, I also got a 98 sophomore year, but last year I got a 97, so I still win. I did awesome on scales and much awesomer that I expected at sight-reading, and the Carmen went well and had no major mistakes. The chords near the beginning were not clean, but I came down on the octaves well, so there. It wasn't the most impressive performance ( Read more... )

Oh man Caitlin is awesome. So I was reading in Schuler's and looked out the skylight and thought "I need to be outside." So I called Caitlin and asked her to go to Kinawa woods with me, and she called me back when she finished her homework, then off we went ( Read more... )

So I just got back from rehearsing with Mr. Ascheri. Man, I heart the Vivaldi Sonata. It's so simple, and yet fun. The piano part is really hard, so I'm lucky to have someone as good as Mr. Ascheri. The rehearsal went well, even though I was thrown off at the beginning by the addition of the piano part and he was having a hard time with some of ( Read more... )

So I woke up around two o'clock and did my math homework and biolab and was about to start on Spanish when I heard that it was a snow day, so I promptly went back to sleep ( Read more... )

Those of you who know me even vaguely know how protective I am of anything that is MINE. At five o'clock this morning, my mother threatened to break everything on my shelves if I didn't get out of bed. She threw my blanket at it, knocking down two birthday girls, the fisherman I bought at Suzuki Workshop when I was six or seven, and the first cat ( Read more... )

Er, it's from a song that I learned in some riding lesson or other. Janine would always play country music. Not my fault. And when I say "boys" I mean "girl," and when I say "girl" I mean me. But whatever ( Read more... )

That's a line from some song or other, but I can't place it. Anyway, I love summer so very much. So much time to spend with my friends and my boyfriend, reading or writing or drawing or just sitting around and putzing, but thinking mostly. And practicing, Carmen Fantasy and guitar. Listening to pretty music right now, a terribly funny song but ( Read more... )

I love Prokofiev’s Lt. Kije suite. It’s just really fun. I played an arranged version in ninth grade orchestra and then the real version at Interlochen that summer. Logan played the trumpet solos. Apparently, all the trumpet players that year were really hot. I couldn’t see them from where I sat, though. Just Logan. But he was an idiot. Oh ( Read more... )
