Piano.......

Sigh. Well, I really do have TONZ of piano stuff to do. I'm working on a bunch of new pieces for the coffee house. Plus, I have two new pieces from piano lessons and a new Sonata for accompanying the recorder trio thingymabob at the Saint Paul Conservatory of Music. Yeah. And then competition season is coming up so......I have tons of new music to memorize for that. And then I'm thinking and praying about entering this International competition. It takes place in Minneapolis, but it is and international competition and the grand prize is $8,000 and a trip to NYC to perform with an orchestra. Actually, there are up to 5 places. And if you get a first through fifth prize, you get a trip to NYC and you get to perform with the orchestra, but the money gets lessened each placement downwards you go (does that make any sense..........?). So yeah. Basically for the next month, I need to eat, sleep, live, and breathe piano. Which means that my computer time will be lessened and lessened. And I'll hafta get up quite a bit earlier. Sigh. But like Philipians 4:13 says, I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. And the Lord will work everything out according to his plan and purpose. He's the Pilot of my life; I'm just going along for the ride. And I know that I can totally trust that whether I win all of the competitions in the world or if I never win another one, He'll always love me for who He's made me. And that means that there isn't any pressure on me. It's not about my performance. It's about what I do with my performance. Do I try to exalt myself? Or can others see Christ in me? Well, IDK how often I'll be on here for the next few weeks so.........hasta luego. Sincerely,
Rachel Gilbert

I AM BORED RIGHT NOW

Hi. I'm bored. And IDK what to write. Sigh.

I'm so dead

LOL, Okay, I was alive on September 7th. Now, I'm totally dead because I ran at least 6 if not 7 miles today. Talk about tired. I ran for half an hour around River Falls right after piano lessons, and for a full hour at home this evening. I'm SO SORE. Oh gosh.........okay, that's my post for today.

Oops

Okay, my last post was an accident. I pushed the tab key too many times. But I am still alive.............and, yeah. Um, there really isn't a whole lot to post about other than I'm SO GLAD that I removed this creepy guy from camp who kept following me EVERYWHERE on main camp off of my friends list on facebook. He had wanted me to have an online relationship with him (WHAT THE HECK!! I BARELY EVEN KNEW HIM)so...yeah. And then one of my cabinmates said that he asked her to have an online relationship (that creep.......). So yeah. Why am I even posting this? Oh yeah, because there isn't anything else to write about. Um......I'm working on like 5 Chopin Nocturnes right now.......hopefully I'll have them ready in like a month. And then I'm working on some Debussy Preludes. So.......that's pretty much it. THERE'S NOTHING ELSE TO WRITE ABOUT!!! Oh, other than I'll be doing a string trio thing in a couple of weeks at the St. Paul Conservatory of Music. YAY!! Later,
