Gray Finger Tips

This day was not normal at all. During English we had a final discussion concerning the grading. The result had to be sent via email. It took me a long time to write this email, because I didn't want to be disrespectful and I didn't want to be too personal if I would have said all of this, it would have been easy. I finally completed it and I think it is allright now.
For the biggest part of the day I talked to my friend over the phone. This was very enjoyable and refreshing.
Then there was my piano lesson. It actually went well today. I felt like I am advancing. Finally! I never thought I would - so now I think if everything continues like that, I will be able to make it in time. So I guess I won't leave Germany before July 24. I am so glad that I have started with my pieces already. There is so much to prepare. Two pieces by Bach (Prelude and Fuga), a three-parted piece by Schubert and a Mozart Sonata (which consists of three pieces). Hopefully I don't have to do all three pieces, but I fear that I do. The music I will play on my violin is not yet sure, but probably the E-Major Partita by Bach, a modern piece by Kabalewski (a Russian composer) and I haven't started the rest yet. We will see.
After coming home from my piano lesson, I talked some more with my friend and then I went to practice violin. I had a great time and now my finger tips are gray. I think I practiced for an hour and a half towards the end my head hurt me really bad, because I am so tired and I couldn't see the notes any more (I was practicing without my glasses) therefore I figured I would go to sleep instead which I will now do :)
