Well, it's the morning of my recital, and I have to say, I'm a little nervous. I haven't looked over my music again, mainly because I'm not looking for any confirmation that I've forgotten a line. I just finished cleaning up the living room, and the whole apartment needs to be vacuumed before my family arrives, and I need to do the dishes as well. I'm waiting for the shower, so I can continue to get ready, and so I almost feel like I'm stuck in limbo. There are menial chores to do, but otherwise I'm alone with my thoughts. Yay for that. :) I'm sure the recital will go well, and I'm sure that when it's all over, very little of this will matter, but it's hard to rely on a thought like that when it's not over yet. Yes, I do get nervous before performances, but you wouldn't be able to tell by looking at my face. Usually, you can tell by conversation, if you ask the right questions, but I decided not to wait for questions like "Are you nervous?" and just say, yes. I know it'll be fine, I know no one (except my professors) will know when I make a mistake, so it's like not making one, but I am still nervous.
After all of that, I am not really sure how to wrap this up. It is a beautiful day outside, and I am really looking forward to seeing my family again, so it should be a good day regardless. Wish me luck!

Karen, You did really great. While I'm not a big fan of music I don't understand, your voice was clear and you were on the notes. I'm sure you're glad to have it behind you.
Love you
