yayayayayay!!

I'm officially done with recording. I would say forever, but that so is not true. After all, if I become a music major, I should be recording quite a bit. I hope. I actually think that recording is much scarier than auditions. Auditions are quick and easy and you're done. Recordings require you to think about whether you're happy with something and whether it's worth trying to rerecord it. Much more decisions when you're nervous. Way scarier.
But yes, I finished my necessary recordings for USC and for my backup tape for JHU. I actually rerecorded everything I recorded in October except one piece and most of it sounds so much better. I am in love with this one etude, so I'm definitely sending that everywhere. I'm also pretty happy with my concerto. It's just the other etude. It's really tricky and the tempo is really... iffy. So like, if I take it too fast, I am screwed. But if I take it too slow, I run out of breath and it doesn't sound terribly impressive. Poo. And I realized that nervousness seriously impacts that one. I got through it, but it was a little bit slower than I would prefer. But alas, it's only getting sent to Peabody and assuming awful things don't happen in February, they shouldn't ever listen to it, so hopefully it'll be fine.
Anyways, that was last night. Yesterday was pretty boring, so I don't need to go into too much detail. It was a day 2, which was nice because it would normally be a day 1. So me starting health was delayed another week! woohoo! Otherwise, very normal. I pretended to get my homework done. I sort of did. Success...
