I'm going to have no bottom lip at the end of this break.
I just spent an entire hour on like twelve different variations of ONE SCALE. Extended form, tonic chord (arpeggiated), interrupted form, broken chord, returning scale, dominant 7th (like 3 different variations of this), 3rds, 4ths, 5ths, 6ths, 7ths, octaves, extended form of the relative minor in all 3 forms, and the tonic arpeggio of the relative minor. Each at three different tempos. So actually that's eighteen variations. Holy birdbowl.

I'm supposed to do this with all twelve scales. Fortunately I only have to do one scale a day, but like,...
I haven't practiced anything else today.
I'm supposed to do 3 different articulation exercises afterwards, and then velocity exercises, and then etudes, and then if I have any chops left, altissimo exercises and maybe some repertoire like solos (Weber Concertino is what I have right now) or chamber pieces or orchestral excerpts (I'm trying to acquire a clarinet part from Tchaikovsky's 4th Symphony and 1812 Overture and from Berlioz's Symphonie Fantastique, and they're on imslp.org but I can't print them because my printer is being stupid).

I'm going to be so awesome by the end of this break. Maybe. Hopefully. If I don't bite off my bottom lip first.

I need an A clarinet for orchestra stuff, but those are like twice as expensive as Bb clarinets.

Can you get a student discount? Lots of places offer one, but you often have to ask for it…

Watched Catching Fire yesterday, and it was WONDERFUL Very Happy

Katniss x Haymitch, anyone?

by eseiprahs Thu Dec 19, 2013 1:10 pm

That couple has NEVER crossed my mind. I prefer Katniss x Peeta

I won't be surprised if doesn't, it is most unusual Razz

I get weird replies from my friends when I start gushing over them Razz

Haha, I don't hate over ships that aren't mine. I don't think anyone at XLair does that, thankfully.

What makes you ship them?

by Heart of Lyoko Sun Dec 22, 2013 5:22 am

I have no idea, it just popped up when I was watching Catching Fire. Must be some of the Katniss and Haymitch scenes Razz

Merry Christmas, citizens of XL.

by Ivona no Fyra Thu Dec 26, 2013 1:52 pm

Merry late holiday everyone. *sheepish grin*
Man I really need to be more active.

How's everyone been?

by Heart of Lyoko Thu Dec 26, 2013 8:09 pm

Not ready for school to reopen at all. Less than a week of holidays left, and my homework is untouched. I don't think I have to maturity to handle the stress, especially since I'll be taking my O Levels in 2014

by eseiprahs Fri Dec 27, 2013 12:49 am

I've been good.

Hope everyone's Christmas Eve and day were good!

I loooove the Holidays.

by Stella Luce 333 Fri Dec 27, 2013 8:04 am

Happy Holidays!!!

by cya6 Fri Dec 27, 2013 8:26 am

Oh holy jesus I had the worst dream last night, and it's been weighing on my mind since I woke up.
(tw: suicide)

Spoiler:

Sorry, I just needed to get it off my chest. And maybe try to breathe a little...

by Heart of Lyoko Sun Dec 29, 2013 10:08 am

Definitely not ready for school. Honestly speaking, I see no reason to live anymore. I have no one at school (my true friend graduated), and I'm not prepared to handle the stress. I don't know how I'm going to cope with all the pressure, and no one in school cares. There probably will be a few who will be happier seeing me dead, anyway. I can't see anything about me further than 18 or 19, and frankly speaking, I'm not sure if I will want to live that long. My family isn't supportive towards those with problems anyway. Just earlier, my sister was dishing out crap about how 'retarded' it was because a girl in her future class cuts and has suicidal tendencies, and my mum didn't exactly try to stop her. It's sad, because they'll probably never know what it feels like.
Well, at least I'm seeking help on an eCounselling website. Still doesn't help much though. I just wish I could trust enough to talk to a counselor face to face.

by Ivona no Fyra Sun Dec 29, 2013 10:22 am

I understand how you feel. The only way I'm happy is when I ignore the reality that the future is a real thing. While in despair, suicide had crossed my mind, but I'd much rather die by someone else's hand when I finally snap.

I feel the school pressure though. I've got a group project I'm supposed to finish, and I'm really terrible at actually working with people, and would rather do it myself. Also, I'm pretty much failing Calculus because I'll just never get it.

by Heart of Lyoko Sun Dec 29, 2013 10:12 pm

I know how that feels. I never work well with people, and arguments drive me insane.

If I really decide to go, I'll go with a bang. I'd go on a rampage in school before I let myself go. B****es deserve it anyway.
