I will stop being frustrated with myself, I promise. I always get more done that way...I guess its just hard to change the way you think after such a long time . 8+ years of beating myself up whenever I make a mistake (in music generally) can definately take a toll on one's self esteem. It's nice that there are so many encouraging people here...thanks, you all know who you are.

Good day, played a routine at 7, and then played another routine at 9 with Master Yardley. Don't know why I was so scared of that guy earlier this year...he's pretty much one of the more awesome people that I know. :)

Time for bed, 7 am routine with Becker tomorrow morning. whoo. :)

Love,
Rachel
