Practice is Fun Time

I know it has been quite a while since I blogged the last time. Now I am taking the time to do it. Over the weekend I slept soooo much. I went to bed at 5 pm on Friday... I just love having a Sabbath to rest and relax. On top of that I took a nap on Saturday which was three hours long. So I can say I caught up on sleep. Therefore it didn't matter that much that I went to sleep late Saturday night (I think it was around 1 am). On Sunday we had a rehearsal for the concert this weekend. This concert is not one of the Adventus Domini concerts, it is a church concert - so it is nothing major. After I came home I read and read and read, until I finally got done with 'the Bonfire of the Vanities'. I almost couldn't believe it that I made it. So before I forgot what it was all about I started working on my presentation. I just don't know how long it will take and therefore I have to really say everything and stop the time which I need because I don't want to do another GFS in English, but if it will take just about 10 minutes then it automatically counts as a GFS. So we will see. Anyway, it made me feel really good to finish this book. I want to keep reading English books in order to build up some vocabulary.
Today the only thing that made me feel good was my practice time. I practiced for 3 and a half hours. I couldn't believe it myself. This is just awesome. I could just practice the whole time and I am enjoying it. I think something has changed about my attitude towards practicing, it is no longer a chore or work, it is fun. So I am having a great time... the only bad thing about is, that my fingers, my left shoulder and my back hurt me after practicing.
During English I got so frustrated because I didn't understand a thing and we will have to take a test on Wednesday and it was our last lesson. I am just so confused. If I had have let myself, I would have started crying - just like that. My sister cheered me up and succeeded in making me feel better. I think this feeling is the result of the criticism I faced during the last few lessons in German. It was probably not intended by Mr. Peiker, but nevertheless he made me feel extremely bad.
Back to the English test. This time I won't be stupid and say that I am afraid (even though I am), because I might get a good grade anyway. I just hope everything works out...
