agulacy

In short, I have been wanting to play the violin for a while now (right around 13 years). Mind you that is only the time I spent wanting to play. So this year, Christmas rolls around and my sweet boyfriend finally lit the fire under my buns to get started. He rented me a violin and got me some lessons. So, I am 3 lessons in and really into it. Despite the fact that the first week I spent plucking strings and working on my finger placement of the A and E strings. I got to that second week and got some bow action. Very exciting to say the least. However, the most exciting moment was when I played “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star” with my bow. Honestly, I am 26 and it still made me feel good. I put on a mini concert for my family. It consisted solely of “Twinkle Twinkle”. They were impressed and I was pumped. I am definitely going to stick with it. Who knows what the next masterpiece I will be playing next…perhaps some itsy bitsy spider or three blind mice. And as a special note, I had extreme respect for all violin players but now having had some lessons and knowing all of the pieces and skills that go into playing the instrument, the level of respect and awe has risen manyfold.

aaahhhhh (that should be read as a sigh of relief). It feels good to be done, I will not lie. And at the ends of the rainbow I found my MPH. Granted if I had to do it again, I might have changed a few things but overall, I can’t complain because I did the worked and reaped the benefits. So, I would recommend this to anyone who feels like an MPH will help them get to an ultimate goal. One word of advice would be to definitely intern or be proactive in pursuing your interests in the field.

As for the running log, I haven’t run the past week so the log hasn’t been touched. Aside from that, I have done a decent job at maintaining the log. Though I honestly wish there was a better way of keeping it. Since I opted for an online version, my choices are limited. I suppose I could do it manually in an actual journal but I guess I am just lazy and that is one more thing that I would have laying around on my floor. That and the fact that http://www.mapmyrun.com/ automatically measures your distance is also a plus for online logging. I guess, I should stop complaining and start running. I will keep up the good work.
