Musical


Being in college, there's one thing I miss that I never thought I would: practicing my violin. Back in High School it was always a pain to have to take out my violin and practice; there were state orchestra auditions, school orchestra auditions, philharmonic auditions, seating auditions, and so much competition. Now when violin has become just a hobby I love it so much more. Do you guys find it easier to love something when you aren't forced to? :)

I used to take piano lessons as well but I'm a piano drop-out. I was such a lazy high school student. Below is my good friend Rob; two thumbs up for posing like idiots.

  1. haw. thankyou for the comment.
    I too played the violin, and I really liked doing it and everything. I also played the viola aswell, so walking to school with that thing on my back really hurt. Ouchy, and then I dropped out, which is a shame, because now i see loads of people playing and I'm like OW, wish I'd of carried on. Well actually I can start again, can't I!

  3. I know, isn't it funny how much you like something once you don't really have to do it anymore? I played the french horn and I hated it. Now whenever see it I like to polish and admire it, though I still suck at playing.

    Thanks for your comment!

  5. I always wanted to learn the violin -- I'd have these insane daydreams about being a concert violinist! I did play the piano but haven't in ages. Maybe I should start again!

  6. Yes, I know exactly what you mean. I was forced to take piano lessons from age 4 to 16, and once I was allowed to quit, I dropped them with a vengeance! Now I really miss playing piano and am hoping to pick it back up again soon. There is something about a task being forced that makes it seem to lose its merits. Thank you for visiting my blog!

  7. Hi Jen!

    Thanks for dropping me a line!

    I love wearing tights too, just like YOU!

    PS I always wanted to learn how to play the violin but since it requires intense dedication, I decided to just concentrate on the ballet ... but it remains a fervent dream. I'm jealous of your violin playing!

  8. I always had years of random piano lessons, hence I was a always beginner. Lol.

    I really like your outfit! The belt is a nice touch.

  26. thanks for the comment! i totally agree, it is so much more satisfying to do something out of your own volition, rather than being forced to do it. i took piano for 11 years, and while it was always a giant ordeal to practice back when i had to, now i love sitting down and playing a little tune!
