since i didn't write yesterday, i thought i would start out by saying that the test yesterday morning went well. i'll find out in the morning exactly how i did on it... orchestra practice didn't go so well. i felt really frustrated with it. today when i had my piano lesson, we worked on it a bunch and it sounded terrific. like, really amazing and professional and everything. so i felt encouraged. if only i can do that well tomorrow when we practice.
aural skills i think is beginning to be a little boring. today he talked for a little while and then we basically did only one melodic dictation. it was relatively long at 8 measures all at once. (not that huge until you try to write it all out while he plays). so we got to have 5 hearings and it only took me two to get it written. and he would talk a little between hearings about stuff. then the third one i looked over mine to make sure it was right. by the fourth i didn't even pay attention. then on the fifth, after finishing listening to it, i covered the one i already wrote and re-wrote it out by memory without looking at my previous work or hearing it again. just wondering what in the world i'm sitting there for. bleh.
did other school and practice stuff, but that's even more boring to blog about.
played a bit of ping pong today. i was out of my groove. :-( still can't wait for that tournament next week. they changed it from next monday to next tues. please come and watch, or play if you're so inclined. $2 entry fee to play, winner gets a $10 gift card to wal mart, a new ping pong paddle and balls, and i think even a trophy. but the main thing is simply the everlasting untarnishable title of wilson hall table tennis champ. and of course there will be free ice cream in the lobby for anyone that feels like coming, regardless of whether they play. fun times.
must sleep now.

Your word of the day has inspired a poem.
The Mellifluous Voice
The mellifluous voice
Facing me with a choice.
Should piano make noise?
Or ping pong the boys?
Why that's really no choice!
Said the mellifluous voice.
Ping pong, piano rejoice
To be equally good toys!
Think I should quite my day job to become a poet?
yes shiloh, er...quite so.
tournament starts at 9:00 i believe.
that's right. you better believe it. how could you have a party in the lobby without ice cream? this is the biggest event of the semester. everybody who's anybody will be there... so be there. or be square.
