Okay.. so I haven't updated in awhile.

Yes, that was very bad of me.. tsk tsk.. I just didn't have the heart to state the outcome of my recital. I thought I did great, it was one of the best performances I've ever done! To think, I did it with a lighting problem too.. though I'm not blaming my shortcomings on that. The fact I couldn't see parts of my music was very stressing and irritating; but I will accept that I still have a long way to go in regards to trumpet playing and assume that is how I achieved a very low mark. :( Don't worry, I passed, but still did not get what I was hoping for or felt I deserved. I won't go into a rant because I'm trying to remain optimistic and positive.

On the plus side, I did really good in my studio studies and ended up with a really stellar mark between the two so that is good. :) Really gave me the boost I needed to continue on. The semester is at a close and I am trying to stay on top of practicing. It is hard during the summer.. ugh.. especially with working all day, every day. I'll keep you updated...
