In case anyone was wondering, I did not fall off the face of the Earth - I swear! Truthfully, I just haven't been focusing my attentions like I should have...
Classes started today - my first "first day of school" NOT being the student! I'm definitely excited and looking forward to turning over a new leaf. I spent a fair amount of time wrestling with the Blackboard system and there is a glitch in the school email at the moment, but I did manage to get everything I need up for my online class.
I've missed 4 days
of playing this quarter, which is not the perfect record I was aiming
for, but I'm glad that I got myself back going again. I think the first
day I missed was an honest mistake. It had been a really busy day and by
the time I realized I hadn't played it was after 11:30 and I was
already in bed. Lame excuse, but hey, it happened. I've definitely gotten back in the saddle and have been chugging along!
I am still
preparing for the recital, and it has been going very well. I have to
pick a date and find a pianist, which I'm going to try and do in the next week or two. I have someone in mind to ask about collaborating with me, and I'll be seeing them on Wednesday. I think I'm going to aim for mid-February, maybe the week after Valentine's day.
It was so great to be able to spend today working in music and it NOT feel like I needed to be doing other stuff. I just feel so much less stressed about my life. I have high hopes for 2013.
