I just pretty much practiced for 2 hours...

I have a really important (to me) cello audition coming up. Its for the Evergreen Philharmonic which is an orchestra that is made up of people from Liberty, Skyline, and Issaquah kids that are better than everyone else in the regular orchestra one class that is at every school. Every year there is an audition for a chair in Evergreen. Its always a bloodbath, like people lose their shit (like I am right now), and some people go as far as studying how everyone else is preparing for the audition so they can 1up them. I auditioned last year but I sucked then so I didn't make it, but I think I have a better chance this year. I'm playing the prelude (1st movement) from the 1st Bach Cello Suite (http://youtube.com/watch?v=dZn_VBgkPNY&feature=related). I also have to play a bunch of scales and etudes. So yeah, I've basically been losing my mind over this audition because I want in really badly. I just fucked up my hand practicing for 2 hours so I think I'm done for tonight.

good luck.
remember not to take yourself too seriously. those who do, often fail and suffer greatly when they do.
still, i wish you the best.
it's great to succeed in something you love.

your music (on myspace) is really... i don't have
the word.
i like it.

i'd like to write a song for you to sing. then again that may never happen... assuming that you'd accept of course.

I have class with one of your friends - to make this a little less random...

take care.
