Ah my contest piece was fun tonight. I felt inspired and alive and the music was intense. Not sure if it was passionate, but it was intense. Jordan says that a lot, I've been picking it up from her.

Barber's Adagio for Strings: Ah I'm in love. That and the Elgar Nimrod Variations are the most beautiful things I've ever played. Beautiful doesn't always mean the most fun but beautiful is always good. I wonder what's the most fun thing I've ever done. Messiah was definately the most grueling. Sound of Music was fun. Carmen was really fun. The Mussorsky was really fun. I like fast and loud. Especially with lots of tympani.

I've cut a lot of arm stuff out of my workout while I'm prepping for contest. I don't want to hurt myself and my wrist is already bothering me. That was about it. We wandered around Evergreen with carrying about forty pounds on our backs (backpacks) and saw a puddle of water that looked like the devil.
