So much busyness and chaos in my life and I feel I'm being totally counterproductive by not using this time to do some sort of homework related thing. Also something nearby smells like baby powder and I don't mind
So, today was crazy and the next little while will be crazy. I imagined that after my midterms last week, it'd be clear sailing for lil' old me, but alas this is not the case. Where to begin?
I've been feeling so productive recently, sadly I'm not focus my energy where it needs to be... Well just for composition. I'm already late for one composition and if I don't pull up my socks it'll escalate to two. Wah
Listening to this playlist is making me think of musicals and 2 summers past. God life was so amazing and I was so foolish to think otherwise. Maybe the same can be applied to my current state? We'll see
My life recently has been music music music. So much music. So many people to jam with, so many pieces to play, so many people to play with.
So lessons are good and all that jazz. This Thursday I have a Masters Class. Fancy, right? I'm only in a first year! What is being demanded of me is great, yet very very demanding. I'm working my buns off to try and get my Rondo and etude up to performance level. Today alone I clocked about 4 - 5 hours on the piano at school, alternating between some uprights and some grands. I, luckily, am now able to book classrooms to practice. No more little 5' x 7' windowless practice rooms! Now I have a full view of Montreal along with a Steinway and yamaha grand at my disposal! Not to mention the harpsichord! :o)
Speaking of productivity I've made a schedule recently of all the crazy nonsense things I need to do, and more than ever I feel prepared. Not only that I feel independent and responsible. I really let school fall to the back burner on my priorities but no longer! I'm also focused on keeping my apartment somewhat clean.
Anywho yay productivity. For the next few days I have so many hours of practicing I plan to book. Today's practice really really worked well, my rondo is finally getting there, including the killer scales and rough arpeggios. On the down side, the hours of sitting on those piano benches with all the moving and sitting has really hurt my lower back. Insult to injury.
Surprisingly I'm very tired. Late night last night, went to a concert, early this morn to see m'landlord. Hopefully tomorrow morn I can sleep a little in the AM before practicing, then heading over to a friends place for a few hours, then coming home and practicing. Soon I will take a photo to show you guys what my work space looks like =].
Meeting new people, getting invited out, being a better piano player, learning more. University is truly amazing. Let it be known I sometimes have sleepless nights thinking about my origins in Ottawa, and where my life would be if I stayed. You guys are my friends and always will be. You were all with me when I was growin' up and all that. I will remember you all.
Anyway, So long
