So, with the last orchestra concert behind me (for now) I am trying to psych myself up for a self imposed violin boot camp of marathon practicing (in preparation for my graduation recital extravaganza). Despite how exciting that may sound,I am actually feeling a little ho-hum about the whole thing.The quest for perfection is tedious and often boring and there are a million better or more interesting things to do at any given moment.There are moments of exquisite beauty and zen-like transcendence ,but those are few and far between. Ask my neighbors.
Also, H. has temporarily deserted me in order to play some concerts of his own so the house is way too quiet and I have no one to harass during my frequent breaks.Wish me luck...
