Monday = Stress :)

Monday means "working" non-stop from 7:30 am until 7:15 pm. It is quite stressful sometimes. The good thing is, that generally there are only French, Math and English homeworks, that need to be done at night.
The problem I had today, is that I haven't practiced violin all week, but instead I was procrastinating it (until Sunday, I thought, but it didn't work out that way since we have had final rehearsal) so today during lunch I started practicing violin for the first time this week. Now the week I am refering to, is the "violin week", which goes from Tuesday to Tuesday. I had a hard time, when I was practicing because orchestra playing makes your intonation worse. So I had to work quite a while on intonation and then I had to go to school again.
Since I was so tired it was kind of hard for me to pay attention, especially during music. It is just so boring, and I get everything so fast, because it is just basic knowledge. I feel so stupid if I answer those simple questions and if I do, the others don't have a chance to keep track of what is going on, but I also have to think about my oral grade which counts 50%!! I definitely want to get 15 points and I think I will be able to make it.
In Geography we interpreted a topographical map. That was enjoyable, because I like geography, I like to learn about new things, and reading and interpreting a map might become very useful lateron, so I better pay attention now. Of course I won't need it to the extent that we are discussing it in class, but that doesn't matter, the more I know the better.
After my school in the afternoon, Alexandra and I went to the music theory "class" in Rottweil. We did the modal scales, Dorian, phrygian, lydian, mixolydian,... I have troubles finding out which one is which. This has been one of the first things I made a mistake on, so I better start working on music theory to not fall behind. It was definitely a good decision to do that. I would have never made it without this extra training in Good Ol' Germany :)
So now it is 10:30 and I am all done with my homework (except for math, but the class is cancelled for tomorrow). I will go to sleep now. Hopefully I will be able to blog on reltalks soon.
I wish you a lot of time for your bible study and prayers. I am sure you got all busy and tired so that there is not so much strength left for that. Same here, I always have to keep in mind that my first priority is God/Religion. Sometimes it is extremely hard and I knew that would happen, but I can't help it. Please pray for me, so that I can stick to my priorities the way I want to.
