#i cant... stay up for too much longer. im so fucking tired rn

[orcelito]

I did it 👍👍👍 audition video is finished and sent 👍👍👍

Ended up requiring about 4 and a half hours straight of practice. After years and years of not. Practicing. I have, in fact, gotten a blister already. On my right pointer finger, bc of all the plucking while I was practicing the fingerings. Whoops! Fingers on my left hand are raw as fuck, but currently no blisters. We will hope that stays true!!

Funny side effect of me wearing color changing nail polish rn,

The strain on my fingers was very visible. Right pointer finger warmer than the rest of that hand bc of the plucking + developing blister. Right thumb a Lil warmer from holding the bow. And the pinky just the Slightest bit warmer from supporting the end of the bow.

VS my left hand that had AAAAAALL burning hot fingers. *Wow* was it hurting by the end. But I pushed through it and recorded my damn audition video even as my fingers fucking HURT from doing it. I persevered!!! And hopefully I will be rewarded with an honorable spot in an orchestra 😌

But yeah for 5 hours spent mostly cleaning and then 4.5 hours spent playing my violin. What a day it's been. It's almost midnight now and I have not played any sims. I should change that. I should also probably eat a bit more lol.
