Strangely, I think I am so going to miss our practices. I mean, sure, Tchaikovsky does give me nightmares, and Glinka never leaves me alone, but I'm just going to miss it. Funny. Weird.
Oh jeez. How many weeks...? How many days...? How many HOURS? How many MINUTES?! And seconds, too!
Ok, ok.
I'm starting to like Tchaikovsky a bit more. Just a tiny little bit more, thank you very much.
And I'm thinking of getting rid of that irritating cbox, but ah well, some inactive account notification was sent to me last time, and I couldn't be bothered to sign up for another one yet again.
Guestbooks rock, though. Especially Bravenet's. Matrix! (:
Sad to say, I so totally hate people who do not treat music instruments with respect, especially the violin. It's just so irritating, seeing the person bang it about like nobody's business. And, putting it on the floor.
PUTTING IT ON THE FLOOR! That's about the most degrading thing ever.
Ok, maybe I'm just hyper-sensitive. Fine. But, putting it on the floor...
Disrespectful, that's what I think. I mean, if we have to treat adults and teachers and principals and the ministers and the prime minister and the president with respect, why not the same for... violins? Ok, maybe this sounds ridiculous. But oh well.
Jeez. There is something wrong with me today, but I can't quite put my finger on it...
Being hyper-sensitive to things of this nature is not in my nature.
Oh I get it. I just had lesson with this girl who put the violin on the floor. May I add that, it is not even her violin. It was loaned to her. By me. By my family. By my dad. By my mum. WHATEVER. IT IS STILL NOT HERS! AT LEAST TREAT OTHER'S PROPERTY PROPERLY, YOU IDIOTIC MORONIC PERSON.
The violin, shall we say, has got a lot of scratches, both minor and major. The bow is no longer straight, and the bow hair. God. It has turned a disgusting shade of not-so-light brown. And why? Because she kept rubbing the bow hair up and down her neck. Eew. Poor bow. And it's no cheapskate pasar malam violin and bow either. It costs a few hundred altogether.
I feel so pain for the violin. Yes, you say I shouldn't be so hard on her, she's just 5 years old. But hello, I have reminded her kindly time and time again, only to hear another bang from the violin.
It's pushed me to my limit. Am I a bad teacher, or what. Yes, I lack experience. I don't deny that.
Violin is not just about playing a few notes... it seems incredibly complex to some, yet to some others, it is ridiculously easy. I shall not comment any further.
