ummm...

It's been awhile so I guess I should post something. Not sure what to write since not much is going on. No, let me re-phrase that. A TON is going on, but none of it makes interesting blog material. Basically, I am practicing alot and studying and practicing more and trying to get some sleep, too. One piece of good news is that I passed the Theory Predictive Exam so I am very, very close - just 1/9th of the History Predictive - to being a regular status grad student. Yay. I've got my classes set for next semester and I'm looking forward to them. I'm also excited that the solo piece that I've been working on since September - 1st movement of Mendelssohn's violin concerto - is finally starting to sound like music! I will perform it in early December then play it again for my jury (like a final for private lessons; a pretty big deal) a week later. So, nothing exciting...
I do get a whole week off of classes for Thanksgiving. That's pretty sweet. I also have a pretty cool weekend ahead of me. I don't want to give it all away, yet. I'll just say it has something to do with hot water and mountains and getting a paid mini-vacation.
:)
Pictures will come soon, I promise. Til then, Happy Thanksgiving!
