3-day weekend and I've just gotten slapped in the face with millions of tests and papers and crud to deal with. JOY. APUSH FRQ's will be the death of me. AGH, so sleepy. TDT

I spent most of the time after getting home going to sleep, then it was dinner, then to my violin. I'M SO SORE FROM MY HEAVY BAG. I love the violin, but these aches are getting annoying, and are keeping me from playing the violin. They just get worse after playing, so I have to take a break many, many times. I think I can hold the bow a little better, but now I have to concentrate on holding the neck correctly (eee, I keep forgetting since I was so concentrated on my bow-holding ^^;) and NOT hitting two strings at the same time. Bowing perpendicular to the violin also still needs to be worked on, but I think that'll take awhile, and will be learned with practice. I hope we're still working on the individual strings. XD; I'm not quite ready to push down on those strings yet. This slow pace sems all right though. :)

I think it's so cool that you know how to play violin~ I've never known anyone IRL who plays it before~ I'd have liked to listen to it up close once :P

By the time I can go and visit you, hopefully I'll be better at it and you CAN listen to it up close...? XDDD;; Right now mine sounds pretty nasty, despite what my positive attitude teacher (he does teach kids...I think I'm the only teen) says. XDD; I'll definitely improve though! >^

HORROR STORIES? REALLY?! XDD;; Hahaha, well, when I first heard the violin, it sounded terrible. I haven't started pushing down on the strings much, but it sounds terrible when I try! XDD; I have to say that my playing isn't as bad as the kid's (I'M SO MEAN OTL) but it's still pretty scratchy...especially when I stop midnote to correct my hand position or something. XDDD;; I can play like, 3 seconds total of non scratchy notes. But when it's played well, it's SO PRETTY. I will do my best to reduce my scratchiness! :D
