I'm Alive

This week. 

Was probably the most stressful week of my life. It added up to 3 mid-terms, 12 pages of reflections, plus homework, AND my Junior Recital hearing. 

For those of you who don't know, a recital hearing consists of the performer playing through the planned recital pieces, and then the faculty decide whether or not the performer is prepared enough to do the recital. Also, if you don't pass your Junior Recital hearing, you can't do a Junior Recital or a Senior Recital, so it's kind of a big deal. 

I would have been stressed with just the hearing coming up, but when you add everything else on top of it, I was about to run away forever. But I survived, thank the Lord. 

Not intimidating at all, right?

My hearing was Wednesday morning. I went in and played through my pieces. I was surprised by how well it went, as my practice recitals had been a little rough. The faculty seemed pleased, and I passed! I was thrilled, of course, but I couldn't relax. I had to go through the rest of the day pretty much brain dead. Who knew a hearing would affect someone so obviously? I broke a cello string in Instrumental Methods, when I was informed that my friend lost her phone, I texted her to tell her, while I was at Chick-fil-A for dinner with friends, I had many mishaps, and the rest of the night was just crazy. 

Thankfully, I lived to see another day (and now two), and now I get to go have all the fun at a bonfire with beautiful friends. 

Thank you all for your support and prayers during this week. I couldn't have made it through without you and the presence of my Savior.
