Hi! *waves* I haven't updated my blog in two days, sorry! It's just that.. that.. I don't have anything to write about. I spent the past two days watching To the Beautiful You, eating, sleeping, Tumblr- ing, watching TV, doodling, reading and talking to my friends :D Nothing much really happened. In fact, it was a bit boring. Boring as in nothing ever, ever happens. Everyday it's the same thing all over again.. :( BUT! I SHOULDN'T COMPLAIN. BECAUSE THIS IS PROBABLY THE LAST TIME I GET TO ENJOY MY DEPRESSINGLY EMPTY LIFE. NEXT YEAR IT WILL ALL CHANGE. I've realised this long ago, but today it really hit me.
Yesterday, my piano teacher brought me my Grade Six practical books. I've chosen my first piece a few months ago, so yesterday I had to choose two more. I chose Dussek's Rondo as my first piece, and for the second piece I'm thinking of choosing Brahms' Waltz in A minor. THEN COMES THE THIRD PIECE. The options were really, really depressing. I didn't like any of the three.. In the end, my teacher chose my third piece for me. I tried playing the right hand part only and it was really hard. I seriously don't know how I'm gonna practise a song I don't even like over and over and over again :( It makes me depressed just thinking about it. THEN THE SCALES. AND ARPEGGIOS. I'VE NEVER BEEN GOOD AT ANY OF THEM. 36 scales, 4 octaves, hands together and hands separately. 2 staccato scales (they've only introduced this in Grade Six), 4 octaves, hands separately (THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!). 4 contrary motion scales, 2 octaves, hands together. Staccato scale in thirds (they're new as well), 2 octaves, hands separately (THANK YOU! :'D). Chromatic scales, beginning on any note named by the examiner. Chromatic contrary motion scales. AND THE ARPEGGIOS, HANDS TOGETHER AND HANDS SEPARATELY, 4 OCTAVES WHAT THE. 24 arpeggios altogether. Lastly, the diminished sevenths (they're also new, and I've zero idea what they are). AND THEN COMES THE CLASSIC. *drumroll* Jeng jeng jeng! SIGHT READING. I DON'T WANT TO THINK ABOUT IT I DON'T WANT TO THINK ABOUT IT I DON'T WANT TO THINK ABOUT IT. I'M GONNA DIE I'M GONNA DIE I'M GONNA DIE.
Okay! Let's not talk about my piano exam :D LET'S TALK ABOUT PMR. PMR PMR PMR OMG. On second thought, let's not talk about anything concerning next year. It's really, really depressing. I can already imagine it all. Every second of free time I've got will be spent on either piano or studying. I pity myself. Sigh. PS: I've created a new Tumblr! :D I shall dump all my K- pop and K- drama loveee there! ♥ ♥ ♥ Link here! :D GAH I'M SO HAPPY! ♥ TAEMINNN! ♥ And by the way! My art Tumblr here :D
