Yesterday the invited orchestras arrived, I’m hosting two guys, one of them is the concertino, he’s very damn good, I definitely shouldn’t be taking the concertino place, he should, but well, let’s see how the rest of the weekend goes. Yesterday was also de recital, and I got more nervous than the past one, damn, I felt like dying in stage, I wanted to jump from a bridge or something.
Well, Other than that, today’s Oct 16, my birthday , but it’s barely 10 am, we’ll see how the day goes on and will write about it maybe at night or tomorrow night.

Well, first about the orchestra. This coming weekend we’ll have some concerts having another orchestra as guests, like we often do, another orchestra from another city comes and gathers with us to play altogether, and from our part I’ll be the Concertino (the principal of the first violins), so I don’t know how are we going arrange with the other invited people, obviously I’ll be sharing my sit with the concertino of the other orchestra, but I don’t know who’ll get to be the concertino of the whole gathered-orchestra; will it be me or him? Honestly I wouldn’t mind if he gets to be the concertino, I don’t feel myself quite prepared for such being the principal violin. Whatever,... so much words for such and little thing.
Second; my birthday is this Saturday October 16th, and my mother decided to give a new computer for myself, because actually we all were sharing only one computer in the house, so she gave me a computer as an advanced birthday present, and I appreciated her for that a lot. Well, then, now I have my computer, but 2 problems were still found;
The new computer has WinXP, and I don’t like it, it wastes a lot of memory in graphics and images, and I don’t find it fast. I know I’m not really to aware of computers, and I know that many people manage themselves to use properly the WinXP for a good work, but in my very own experience I’ve had a lot of bugs, troubleshooting and errors while using WinXP, I’ve been quite still satisfied using WinME or even Win98.
The second problem, was the Internet. As I had been saying lately, the internet was fatally slow, I we decided to go with the other company of internet provider. On Monday I went to contract it, they give me the Kit (modem, wires, cd, etc) and apparently we will be having the internet in 4 days. I took less (3 days), and today I decided to install it on my new computer, and yet as apparently when it seemed to be working fine, when trying to connect to msn, had some error messages, then the screen froze and some other bugs and error messages occurred. I immediately knew it had to be with some of the XP thingy..., I tried to uninstall the modem software and such, but more and more errors, tried to install it again and do more stuff and it just got on my nerves. Some whiles there was internet, some other whiles there was no response; so I decided to install the kit in the other computer, here in the one with WinME, and it seems to be very well installed and with no problems of functioning; the internet is finally at a very decent speed, I finally can browse normally through internet. So I’ve come again to the conclusion the I do not like the XP thing. I’ll try to talk to the computer salesman to see if he can uninstall the XP and install the ME on the new computer.
Well, I still wanted to write more about more stuff, but I guess I’m sort of tired now (and a bit pissed about the computers problems); Maybe tomorrow or after, I’ll keep writing about other issues.

Because of some other people haven’t shown up at all the rehearsals, it seems like it’s going to be my time now to be the concertino. Damn I don’t consider myself to be a good violinist to have that responsibility but, well, I’ll try to do my best. Oh, and apparently we’re going to repeat the recital, and play the solos again next Friday, damn, I still get nervous in front of the public. Blah, whatever.
I think I’m going to get the other internet server company tomorrow, because this one just really suck it’s huge slowness, it gets really slow at times that it’s hard checking the email.

Damn, again I lasted about a week without updating here, but it isn’t entirely my fault, the fucking internet server gets really slow, and I mean way too slow at times... (transferring 600 bytes/seg), it’s really annoying, it takes ages to load the page just for checking the email. I’m definitely changing for the other internet company hopefully within this weekend.
In other news, the recital I wrote about the last entry was so... mmh, I don’t know how to say it, I my opinion, for myself, I did not play like I expected, I got really nervous and slipped some notes really bad, maybe not too obvious for the few audience but for me it was fatal. I guess non of us were accustomed to play a solo, so it wasn’t easy to play in front of people alone. Blah, whatever, bullshit happens everyday in someway. At least for today’s rehearsal I was said to sit place as concertino. I also felt nervous, maybe it’s just a temporary sit, who knows.
On school, well, a good news was I went really well in one test, but flunked in another... so I’m still kind of worry about some other tests, but more that tests, sometimes it’s about some teachers, bitchasses I hate, make things hard.

I’m back; now the reason for not being lately here, wasn’t because I was busy or something, but because the my internet provider had troubles and they had to shout it down for almost a week. Now it’s back but still with some troubles the speed is very low, damn them.
I’m not sure was it that I wanted to write here time ago, I always forget things. Well other that the constant depressions, I’m not sure what is there to rant about.
Oh, I remembered. The director told us about a month ago that we’re going to play a solo, we chose the piece, but it has to be played by memory, and I have such a bad memory, but after almost 4 weeks, I finally learned my solo of memory, now my major problem, is my fear of playing it solo, even though there isn’t going to be much audience, I get nervous by just knowing that people is hearing me playing solo. When my playing with the orchestra I don’t mind, but when it comes to a solo, I get really nervous. I’ve always been a really shy guy (clearly demonstrated here in sk.net with all my journal entries), so knowing my bad luck I’ll probably get too nervous and play bad. Yet, I’m not playing it completely alone, that is, I’m accompanied by the piano, but the main melody I’ll do it in violin. I’ll be playing the 7th movement of Bach’s Suite in B minor, the Badinerie, it’s originally for flute, but I’ll play it in violin. The day will be this Thursday Sept. 30. Wish me luck to not make an ass of myself.
