Stress

And I thought violin was supposed to be fun.

I'm preparing for my violin competition on Tuesday, and I'm feeling rather discouraged. I'm in the highest grade of violin and I suppose I'm rather good. :) Most of the time anyway. I think the problem with preparing for this particular competition was the fact that I have so many other commitments.

I absolutely adore the piece I'm playing, Praeludium and Allegro by Kreisler, but I'm just not ready. My violin teacher wants me to play, but I have a problem with going to a competition and not playing my best. So, my options are to cop out of the competition, or go there and be disappointed with myself. Hm... Oh well. I'll try to be sickeningly cheerful about it. <:D

Radish :)
