Relief!

Well, the viola preliminary round of the competition was tonight. I played pretty horribly and I'm really disappointed in myself. I was really upset at first, but I've been getting progressively better. In the music world, you can't always succeed, and I think it was just my time to fail. It's definitely an experience I want to forget, but at the same time I can learn a lot from it. I'm really just glad it's over...it's a huge burden off my shoulders. I also feel like it was hindering some progress I had hoped to make in AACA, so now I can focus more on developing technically.
