Summer Vacation ( June 7, 2012)

I contributed most of my time this week to orchestra and the musical. I don't regret it however. Finally, I realized the reason I stuck with orchestra for so long. It surprised me at first, but I found out that I actually LIKED playing in the orchestra. Needless to say, I am not the most talented player on the team( composed of a mere twenty. Middle and High schoolers combined). In fact, I am perhaps the least skilled and laziest teammate to ever be on the team. While I could get the notes right, I could not quite get the beat right. Orchestra has been a torture for the past few months it is a miracle that I stuck with it despite of everything. The last two days changed how I felt about orchestra, music, and myself. I got to sit next to a good middle schooler this time and mimicked how she played. After learning how to play, I realized that this is actually quite fun! My love for violin has been reignited. Isn't this what orchestra is supposed to be about? Yay. Anyway, I should probably get back to my topic that I wrote on the top. This summer I would like to boost my english level and math levels. It will be quite beneficial for me throughout the rest of my learning career which stretches on to infinity.
