    Xanga resurrected

    Hello, Xanga-ers.

    It has been quite a bit of time since I last posted. Sadly, I have mostly been using Blogspot but fear not...I have not deserted you, Xanga...not all the way.

    A lot has happened in my life...I am practicing a lot more...have become much much much more nerdy about violin and classical music.  It seems everything I do has something to do with music and it feels very odd when I go into a restaurant not to have an instrument to worry about taking in, and not getting stolen, and not getting too hot or cold. But...my goals and ambitions are become much much more focused what with college looming near like a huge black wall and the idea of actually growing into an adult. O_O

    I don't really want to grow up...I don't really want to have the responsibility of paying my own bills, and car insurance, and health insurance, and gas, and rent, and instrument insurance, and whatever else you have to have nowadays to live in this world. But there it is...we must all grow up sometime.

    In other [good] news, my piano trio won the open division of the Chicago National Chamber music Competition which was quite exciting. We played first movement of Ravel Trio and last movement by a modern comoser, Rorem.

    And this year (as in, 2009) I have placed in two competitions in Chicago which was quite exciting. I have had many amazing opportunities for which I must thank my beautiful and incredible teacher, Desiree. 

    I have also been given the amazing opportunity to staff TeenPact Indiana! I am very excited about what God will do through me and for me in the upcoming class!

    Well, I shan't bore you any more...perhaps I'll be posting again in a few weeks. Ta ta!!!

    Change

    I have recently observed that change is an inevitable thing, even when it seems most distant. There are places I don't go that I always thought I would frequent. There are some people I don't really see anymore that I thought were going to be my best friend forever. And most of all, my opinions are changing on things I thought I would always feel the same about.
    For example, my opinion of the world. When one is very young, one sees the world through young glasses. I thought everything was wonderful and happy and I never had a truly unhappy or depressing moment in my very young childhood (I'm still a child, haha, but that was my very young childhood). Now, I am a tiny bit more knowledgeable about this place we live in and I must say, the world is a depressing place. Were it not for the Lord, the almighty Savior, I should be a very down-hearted, depressed, bitter person. My feelings would be constantly fluctuating and my foundation along with it. God is the only hope out there. The only one. No one can be truly happy or peaceful without Him. People strive for happiness, it is what they live for, but they look for it in yoga, and finding their inner self. All too soon they find, yet again, they are foiled in their ever-present search for happiness. If only Christians in America were more bold in proclaiming Christ! (myself included)

    On a happier note...

    I'm learning Paganini's 1st violin concerto. It's ridiculous, insane, psycho. Paganini was a psycho...he really was. Absolutely crazy, bipolar, schizophrenic, whatever you want to call it, he was crazy. It's an amazing piece, it's just psycho. And what's more amazing is Hilary Hahn's performance of it. *mouth hangs open* Amazing.
    Well, everyone have a lovely day!
