busy bee(troot)

Been busy.
Have been trying to clock 4 hours of practice daily.
(I've also been drinking too much beetroot juice, but that's besides the point)
But being the lazy ass that I am, I've only been doing approximately 2.5 hours, monday to friday.
I slack on weekends. haha!
tsk tsk.

Wait, lemme justify myself.
It's not that i don't practice on purpose, i just don't have the time.
tsk.
I have so many assignments due every week, it's insane!
I have more assignments now then I ever did in uni. At least at uni, they thoughtfully space out deadlines so we don't end up doing too many assignments at the same time.
Like harlooooowe I only have 24 hours in a day, 12 of which I need for my beauty sleep. duh!

Oh, I found out that I actually stop breathing once I start playing my pieces.
Yaaah, I know. It's really weird, but it kinda explains my headaches. It's just the brain not getting enough oxygen.
Too funny.

Gotta start preparing for my technical exams, end of this semester. I'm gonna be doing 2 contrasting pieces from Czerny Op. 299 (from memory!) and of course, the mandatory scales, arpeggios.

Have also gotta start choosing pieces for my performance exam next sem.
Argh!!
