So, I think I've realized that I must be one of the worst bloggers ever. Evidently I'm supposed to update this regularly... which is true I guess. I just don't necessarily know if my life is interesting enough to write about on a daily basis. Otherwise I would keep a journal.
Anyway. As a followup to my previous post, I did indeed hop right back into my practice routine. Then school let out for spring break and alas! I overdid it. A week of practicing between 4-6 hours every day aggravated my Carpal Tunnel. It's not that bad uncomfortable, but it makes really technical things difficult to play. On the flip side, I learned everything in my recital program except for the last two movements of the Vivaldi piccolo concerto I'm playing. I just really hate that I had this happen before my recital and that I have my Recital Hearing in a little over two weeks...
So I have consequently taken the past 4 days off from playing. I've also been doing a lot of stretches and acupressure massages. My wrists feel great, but I'm going to avoid playing until tomorrow (just in case). But, I have had a lot of other things to do. The most exciting things have included booking my airline tickets to Colorado (to attend The Panoramic Flutist workshop with Leone Buyse and Christina Jennings), and my airline tickets and hotel room for this year's National Flute Association Convention. I also spent last night with my music fraternity serving dinner at our local Ronald McDonald House. It was really awesome, and we were able to spend time with some really amazing families that evening.
Anyhow. I'm trying not to let this get me down. I'm looking forward to getting my flute out again. It has been driving me crazy!
