For instance, yesterday I woke up at 6:30 and was in a practice room by 7:00, practiced for two hours and was late to Chinese class by 15 minutes. After class, I did another hour of practicing, ate lunch and continued practicing. At 2:30 I rehearsed with my piano trio so that we would do well in our coaching at 4:30. After our coaching, I ran to the metro station so I would be at orchestra on time at 7:00. I didn't get home until around 11:15. If you tally all of that, you'll see that yesterday alone, I played the violin for at total of...wait for it...wait...10 hours. That's right...10 hours.
Needless to say, I needed a break. So today, with no Chinese class, Joanna and I had a girlie, spa, do nothing kind of day. We went and saw the new Fast and the Furious at a real movie theater (not a bootleg DVD...go us) at 10:40 am, followed by window/boutique shopping (though neither of us actually bought anything), then a pedicure that took an absurdly long time. And for dinner, we made crepes with strawberries and ice-cream. Unfortunately, then we both had to go to "work"...Joanna to teach and me to orchestra. At the moment, I am waiting for her to get off of Skype so that we can go get the massages we so desperately need.
Anyway, I know this update is probably not all that interesting or informative for you. I'm just too darn tired to come up with anything witty or cute! I promise to try harder next time.
Countdown to France: 2 weeks! (Also, I have no idea how this happened...seriously, France seemed a long way away, and now suddenly it's here and we still don't know exactly where in France we are going. This might be a problem.)

Yes, it is the middle of April and how time flies when you are practicing your hands off! Don't worry about France, as long as someone knows where you are goiing you are bound to get there. I think I want to come to China and spend a girlie day with you, it sounded like loads of fun! Especially the massage part. Love you sweetie.
All blessings on your travel to France. I'm sure you'll be prepared to give a snappy content-rich quote if the French press asks you about your Chinese conservatory experience. Love to you!
Your schedule is exhausting and that's just for me reading it! I don't know how you are keeping up for such a slip of a girl. But, YOU ARE! YOU ARE SUCH A WONDER WOMAN! Wear your green dress when you perform in France. Isn't it great about Theresa getting her first principal job at an Anchorage G.Sch.? I miss my Hannah and can hardly wait for her return HOME. Try to get some knock out pill for your flight to Paris. You need sleep. I hope the weather is cheery where you are. Love you my darlin'....Auntie Mary
