The little things

So when it comes down to the day to day college life I find that the littlest things make all the difference. I am learning to take everything one day at a time. Often times I push myself beyond all of my limits. I am not satisfied with just a A I will do whatever I can to get an +A. I still don't really understand why I do this to myself. In life it is way harder to raise your standards then to lower them. So when it comes down to it, if I don't get an +A at least I will get an A.

Learning to not be anxious has helped allot. I will just do what I need to do for that day, then I will just relax and not let worries about tomorrow bother me. Another thing that has really helped me is prayer. It is hard to pray on campus. There are so many people around all of the time. Between classes I will just pray in my mind. One of the best things I have found it do pray in the bathroom. This sounds very odd but it works. The bathrooms are quiet and normally empty, they make a great spot to pray.

The little prayers get me though. Taking everything day by day has been a hard thing to learn. I think I will never stop learning about how to not worry. It has been amazing to see how God's peace takes over and makes everything else in your life fade away.

Performing Bloch in viola class

I felt ok about this performance. My teacher and I switched some fingerings last minot so I had some pitch issues. My accompanist is the string GTF, this is very frustrating because I can only play with him one time during my lesson before the performance. This just makes some of the transitions very difficult.
